My PT Hub vs Trainerize: the honest comparison.
My PT Hub (UK-built, under the EverCommerce group) and Trainerize (sometimes branded ABC Trainerize, North American) are two of the most widely used all-in-one platforms for personal trainers and online coaches. Both cover the core checklist - workouts, nutrition, a client app, messaging, habit tracking, and payments via Stripe - so on raw features they are closer than they look. The honest difference is shape: My PT Hub leans on a low flat-rate plan with unlimited clients on its mid tier, while Trainerize leans on a deep workout library with a client-count pricing ladder that starts free. The short version and the side-by-side table are right below.

the short version
Pick My PT Hub if you want the simplest cost story: a flat mid tier (Premium, EUR 59/mo, often promoted at EUR 29.50 for the first 2 months) with unlimited clients, a 30-day no-card trial, and an all-in-one feel where the cost does not climb as your client list grows. Pick Trainerize if your coaching is workout-first and you want one of the deepest exercise libraries and program builders in the category, a genuinely free starting tier, and a pay-as-you-grow ladder that only gets more expensive as you add clients. My PT Hub tends to win on flat-rate value and predictable cost at scale. Trainerize tends to win on workout-library depth and its established North American ecosystem. Both run on Stripe, both are English-first, and both put a branded app behind a paid add-on. The full side-by-side is below.

Pricing: flat rate vs a client-count ladder.
This is where the two platforms feel most different, and it is the single thing most likely to decide it for you. My PT Hub prices in flat EUR tiers. Starter is EUR 25 per month and caps you at 3 clients, 50 workouts, and 50 nutrition plans. Premium is the tier most coaches land on at EUR 59 per month (currently promoted at EUR 29.50 for the first 2 months) and lifts the caps to unlimited clients, workouts, and nutrition plans. Ultimate sits at EUR 215 per month. Every tier comes with a 30-day free trial and no card required. The key point is that on Premium, your monthly cost does not rise as your client list grows, which is attractive once you are past a handful of clients.
Trainerize prices on a client-count ladder in USD. Basic is free for 1 client, Grow is USD 9 per month for up to 2 clients, Pro starts at USD 23 per month and scales from 5 up to 200 clients, and Studio Plus is USD 248 per month per location for 500 to 1000 clients. It also offers a 30-day trial with no credit card. The free tier and the low Grow entry point make Trainerize very easy to test and to start small with, but the cost climbs as you add clients, where My PT Hub\'s flat Premium tier does not.
The honest way to compare them is to price your real situation, not the headline. Count your active clients, add the branded app you actually need (a one-time fee on both, plus a monthly white-label option on My PT Hub), add Trainerize\'s Stripe and advanced-nutrition add-ons if you would use them, and compare the true monthly number. A 5-client coach and an 80-client coach will often reach different verdicts.
where my pt hub leads
My PT Hub
My PT Hub\'s biggest pull is the flat-rate value and the all-in-one feel. The Premium tier gives you unlimited clients, unlimited workouts, and unlimited nutrition plans at a fixed monthly price, so the cost is predictable as you scale rather than rising with each new client. It is a well-established, widely used platform (the vendor reports being trusted by 200,000-plus fitness coaches globally) with a low barrier to entry through the 30-day no-card trial. On nutrition, it pairs a meal-plan builder and custom recipes with a very large food-item database of over 650,000 items (largely through MyFitnessPal, Apple Health, and Google Fit), so logging and meal building have plenty to draw on. Payments run on Stripe with your own account, and there is a current Check-Ins AI add-on for coaches who want lighter-weight review.
Choose My PT Hub if: you want the simplest cost story, a flat mid tier with unlimited clients, and an all-in-one platform where the price does not rise as you grow. Just price the branded app (EUR 95 one-time) or white-label (EUR 145/mo) add-on into your real cost if your brand inside the app matters.
where trainerize leads
Trainerize
Trainerize\'s biggest asset is the workout side. Its exercise library and program builder are mature, developed over many years, and that depth is one of the largest in the category and hard to replicate. The North American ecosystem around it is well established, with a large install base and a familiar presence for coaches and clients in that market. The pricing ladder begins genuinely free for 1 client and steps up gently through Grow at USD 9 per month, which makes it one of the easiest platforms to start small on and grow into. It runs on Stripe through Integrated Payments (a USD 10 per month add-on on Grow and Pro, included on Studio), includes basic nutrition on every plan, and offers advanced nutrition coaching as a USD 20-45 per month add-on for coaches who lean heavily on meal planning. If training programming is the core of your offer and your clients are English-speaking, it is genuinely hard to beat on the workout side.
Choose Trainerize if: your coaching is primarily training programming, your clients are English-speaking, and you want one of the deepest workout libraries with a pay-as-you-grow ladder. Just remember the cost rises as you add clients, and the Stripe and advanced-nutrition add-ons stack on top of the base plan.
Which should you pick?
The decision comes down to a few questions: how many clients do you have, is training programming the whole job or one part of a broader program, and do you prefer a flat rate or a pay-as-you-grow ladder? Here is the fair way to land it.
- You have a sizable client base and want predictable cost. My PT Hub. Premium\'s flat EUR 59/mo with unlimited clients means the price does not climb as you grow, which usually wins at higher client counts.
- You are just starting out and want to test for free. Trainerize. Its free tier (1 client) and USD 9 Grow tier make it the easiest to start small on, then scale up plan by plan.
- Training programming is the core of your offer. Trainerize. Its exercise library and program builder are among the deepest in the category and built for workout-first coaching.
- You want the all-in-one feel without per-client cost creep. My PT Hub. Unlimited clients, workouts, and nutrition plans on one flat tier keeps things simple.
- Advanced nutrition is central to your offer. Compare carefully. My PT Hub bundles its meal builder and large food database into the plan; Trainerize gates advanced nutrition behind a USD 20-45/mo add-on on top of the base plan.
- A branded app on the client\'s home screen matters. Either works, but price it in. My PT Hub charges EUR 95 one-time (or EUR 145/mo white-label); Trainerize charges USD 169 one-time on Pro, included on Studio.
If neither shape fits cleanly - say you want training, nutrition, and weekly check-ins in one focused workflow, with per-client pricing and your own Stripe included - it is worth putting a third option on your shortlist. Coachway is a Copenhagen-built coaching platform that handles a client\'s program, meal plan, check-ins, payments, and messaging from one tab, priced at EUR 69/mo for up to 5 active clients plus EUR 9 per additional client, with your own Stripe and a branded in-app experience included. Whichever way you lean, our walkthrough on choosing an online coaching platform turns this into a step-by-step shortlist.
Frequently asked.
Is My PT Hub or Trainerize better for online fitness coaches?
It depends on your priorities. Pick My PT Hub if you want a low, flat-rate plan with unlimited clients on its mid tier and an all-in-one feel out of the box. Pick Trainerize if your coaching is workout-first and you want one of the deepest exercise libraries and program builders in the category, with a free starting tier and a pay-as-you-grow ladder. Both run on Stripe and both are English-first.
How does My PT Hub pricing compare to Trainerize pricing?
They use different models. My PT Hub shows flat EUR tiers: Starter EUR 25/mo (3 clients), Premium EUR 59/mo (unlimited clients, often promoted at EUR 29.50 for the first 2 months), and Ultimate EUR 215/mo, with a 30-day free trial and no card required. Trainerize runs a USD client-count ladder: Basic free for 1 client, Grow USD 9/mo for up to 2 clients, Pro from USD 23/mo scaling 5 to 200 clients, and Studio Plus USD 248/mo per location for 500 to 1000 clients, also with a 30-day no-card trial. Verify current figures with each provider before you commit.
Do both My PT Hub and Trainerize give me a branded client app?
Both offer one as a paid add-on rather than bundling it on the base plan. On My PT Hub, a custom branded app is a EUR 95 one-time fee and a full white-label app is EUR 145 per month. On Trainerize, the custom branded app is a USD 169 one-time fee on Pro and is included on the Studio plan. So if a branded app matters, price the add-on into your real monthly cost on either platform.
Which one is better for nutrition coaching?
Both handle nutrition, but differently. My PT Hub gives coaches a meal-plan builder with custom recipes and a very large food-item database (650,000-plus items, largely via MyFitnessPal, Apple Health, and Google Fit), so you build your own meals. Trainerize includes basic nutrition on all plans and gates advanced nutrition coaching behind a USD 20-45 per month add-on. Neither ships a large built-in proprietary recipe library; you create your own meals on both.
Do I keep my own Stripe account on My PT Hub and Trainerize?
Yes on both. My PT Hub runs payments through Stripe, where you connect or create your own Stripe account and keep the billing relationship with your clients. Trainerize also uses Stripe through its Integrated Payments, which is a USD 10/mo add-on on Grow and Pro and included on Studio. In both cases the underlying processor is Stripe and you keep your own account.
What languages do My PT Hub and Trainerize support?
Both are English-first. My PT Hub's website, app, and support center are English with no language switcher or localized URL variants. Trainerize's own help center states the app is available only in English, though coaches can manually rename programs, workouts, and exercises in their own language. If you coach a non-English client base, this is the area to test most carefully on both.
