Trainerize alternative: how FitPal Coach compares
Updated 6 November 2026.
Trainerize is one of the most used coaching platforms. FitPal Coach is younger and narrower: it is built for an independent coach who finds clients on Instagram. This comparison sticks to published facts. Trainerize's prices were taken from its pricing page on 6 November 2026, in US dollars; check them there before you decide, as they change.

The differences that matter
How a follower becomes a client
FitPal Coach starts at the link in your bio: a page with your name, an "Ask to join" button, a code by email, and your answer. It works inside Instagram's browser. With a starter program set, workout 1 is ready the day you accept.
Money
Trainerize can take your clients' payments through its Stripe add-on. FitPal Coach stays out of payments: your clients pay you as they do today, by transfer, cash or your own payment link.
Languages
The FitPal Coach app runs in English, French, Spanish and German, chosen by each coach and each client.
When Trainerize will suit you better
- You want clients to pay inside the app, by card.
- You want an app under your own brand in the App Store and Google Play.
- You run video coaching, or a studio with several coaches.
- You coach more than 75 clients, the limit of FitPal's largest plan.
If you work alone, your clients come from Instagram and pay you your own way, FitPal Coach costs less for more clients, with nothing to add on. The Free plan lets you try it with three real clients first. During launch, paid plans are switched on by request: contact@fitpal.ma. See the pricing.
