the short answer
TeamBuildr describes itself as strength and conditioning software for coaches, athletic departments, gyms and tactical organizations, and prices in tiers with a profile limit: USD 90 a month recommended for up to 50 profiles, USD 150 for up to 250. Kahunas charges per seat: USD 50 at 10 clients and USD 62.50 at 25, against TeamBuildr's USD 90 at both. At 50 clients TeamBuildr is lower (USD 90 against 100), and at 100 both come to USD 150. The pages we read for TeamBuildr do not mention nutrition; Kahunas lists it on every plan.

Kahunas vs TeamBuildr pricing at 10, 25, 50 and 100 clients
Both publish enough to work this out: kahunas.io/pricing (per seat, US dollars before tax) and teambuildr.com/pricing (four tiers with a profile limit), both checked 12 November 2026. The sums are our own arithmetic.
| Clients | Kahunas, billed monthly | Kahunas, billed yearly (a month) | TeamBuildr Strength, monthly | TeamBuildr Strength, yearly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 clients | 10 x USD 5.00 = USD 50 | 10 x USD 4.00 = USD 40 | Silver, USD 90 (up to 50 profiles) | USD 900 a year = USD 75 a month |
| 25 clients | 25 x USD 2.50 = USD 62.50 | 25 x USD 2.00 = USD 50 | Silver, USD 90 (up to 50 profiles) | USD 900 a year = USD 75 a month |
| 50 clients | 50 x USD 2.00 = USD 100 | 50 x USD 1.60 = USD 80 | Silver, USD 90 (up to 50 profiles) | USD 900 a year = USD 75 a month |
| 100 clients | 100 x USD 1.50 = USD 150 | 100 x USD 1.20 = USD 120 | Gold, USD 150 (up to 250 profiles) | USD 1,500 a year = USD 125 a month |
Kahunas is lower at 10 and 25 clients, TeamBuildr Silver is lower at 50, and at 100 they are level on monthly billing. Billed yearly, TeamBuildr is lower at 50 (USD 75 against 80 a month) and Kahunas at 100 (USD 120 against 125). Kahunas bills the bigger tier when it costs the same or less; that rule does not change these four.
TeamBuildr words each limit as "recommended for ... up to 50 profiles" on its pricing cards and as a maximum in its comparison table; confirm with TeamBuildr before relying on it.
Team members. A Kahunas seat is an active client or a team member, so 50 clients and 2 assistants are 52 seats, USD 104 a month. TeamBuildr says every tier includes unlimited coaches. Add-ons. TeamBuildr lists AMS at USD 50 a month and TeamBuildr OS for gym management at USD 200. Existing Kahunas plans. Kahunas says: "You keep your current plan, price and features until you choose a seat plan yourself on Your plan. We never move you." More counts are in our Kahunas pricing reference.
Client app, training, nutrition and check-ins compared
Client app. TeamBuildr's features page says its iOS and Android app is free with every subscription, with no per-athlete cost, and lists Weight Room View, a tablet interface for a shared station, which its pricing table shows from the Platinum tier. Kahunas's web app page says clients install its app from your link in three taps, with no store download, on every plan. Our Kahunas 2.0 explainer covers that change.
Training. TeamBuildr says it is built around programming: date-based, free-form and day-stacking views, percentage-based loading that adjusts to each athlete's maxes, velocity-based and periodized programs, 1,000+ exercises with video, and 16+ reports that export to PDF, CSV or Excel. Kahunas's workouts page describes a workout builder with 1,700+ exercise videos, where you also see what a client lifted against what you set.
Nutrition. Kahunas's nutrition page lists meal plans, macro targets, food logging and a barcode scanner on every plan, over 1.5 million foods, and recipes from 25 clients. On TeamBuildr's pricing, Strength and features pages we found no nutrition, meal plan or food logging feature. That describes those pages, not the product, so ask TeamBuildr if nutrition matters to you.
Check-ins. Kahunas's check-ins page says you build a form once and every answer lands in one inbox next to the last check-in. TeamBuildr lists wellness questionnaires and questionnaire reports on every tier, and an AMS add-on (USD 50 a month) for readiness, soreness and load monitoring.
Payments, trial and branded app
Payments. Kahunas's payments page says you sell through your own Stripe or PayPal and Kahunas takes 0% commission. TeamBuildr lists online payments on every tier, and its help article says the portal is built on Stripe with no TeamBuildr fee on sales. That article shows as updated about five years ago, so confirm today's terms.
Trial. Kahunas offers 14 days. Its pricing FAQ says Stripe takes your card at sign-up and charges nothing until the trial ends, and its feature pages add "then a 3-month money-back guarantee". TeamBuildr's pricing FAQ says it offers a free trial with no credit card required; the pages we read give no length.
Branded app. Kahunas's branded app page says it is included from 200 clients: your logo and colour on a web app installed from your link, with no store listing. TeamBuildr's pricing page lists custom logo and colors on every tier and a custom app icon in its Complete Gym Stack (from USD 275 a month). The pages we read do not say whether that means your own store listing.
What each says about moving in
In its article on responding to a client's data request, Kahunas's help centre documents a per-client data copy: a zip with profile, check-ins, form answers, workout and nutrition logs, measurements, payment records and photos, with a link that works for 72 hours (a new link can be sent after that). Kahunas says chat messages are not in the copy yet. For your own account data, support prepares a copy and emails links within one month (help.kahunas.app, checked 12 November 2026). Our guide on how to switch from Kahunas has the steps.
TeamBuildr's pricing, Strength and features pages do not describe a move from another platform. Its pricing FAQ says it has no public API and connects data through partner integrations, webhooks and FTP export. Its help centre has an article titled How to Import Workout Templates Into Your Account and one on imported versus master exercise databases; we could not tell whether either covers moving clients from another platform. Ask TeamBuildr what a move from Kahunas would cover before you cancel anything.

TeamBuildr says it is "trusted by 5,500+ of the top strength coaches, teams & facilities since 2012" (its homepage; a vendor claim). Its case studies are schools, colleges, professional teams, tactical units and gyms.
