This page is for coaches on Trainerize who want an app under their own name in the stores. It also helps if you're choosing a coaching platform for the first time.
For 1:1 coaching with your own listing, Kahunas has the lowest published price and Trainerize Studio the highest. If you sell one program to a large audience instead, compare your own app too.
Trainerize and 8 alternatives compared
Every row answers the same question: what does it take to get an app under your name in the App Store and Google Play?
Fitera builds and runs branded apps for a share of revenue, so some coaches weigh us against these platforms. We're not in this table. Every fact below comes from that vendor's own website, linked in the row and in Sources and method.
Your own store listing on each platformUSD, monthly billing. Checked 14 Sep 2026.
| Platform | Own App Store + Google Play listing | Price for it | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trainerize | Yes, on Studio: the App Store listing sits in your developer account, the Google Play one in Trainerize's. Pro's $169 one-time app uses Trainerize's shared Apple listing. | $275 a month (Studio Plus, 500 members) | Established businesses with hundreds of clients |
| Everfit | Enterprise only, which needs Studio with 500 clients | Contact sales (Studio alone: $430 a month) | Growing coaches who can wait for their own listing |
| TrueCoach | Not mentioned on its pricing or branding pages | Branding from $69.98 a month | 1:1 coaches who don't need their own listing |
| PT Distinction | Google Play only. iOS uses a shared container. | $59.90 a month (Pro) | A branded Android app on a small budget |
| Exercise.com | Yes, both stores (claimed) | Contact sales | Multi-trainer businesses that want a quote |
| FitBudd | Yes, on Super Pro | $149 a month + $75 setup | About 20 clients, own listing now |
| My PT Hub | Yes, with the white label add-on | $204 a month ($59 + $145 add-on) | Large rosters that want a flat price |
| Kahunas | Yes, on Ultimate | $99 a month | Own listing at the lowest published price |
| Playbook | No: a channel in the shared Playbook app | No monthly fee; 20% of net revenue | Selling programs with no upfront cost |
Everfit's listing rule is in its help centre, and TrueCoach's branding is on its branding page. How each price scales, fees and exports are in the platform cards.
Some just put your logo and colours inside their app, others get you a real listing in the stores with your business as the publisher. Both get sold with the same wording and the price difference is big.
What your own store listing costs a month
Four platforms publish a price for an app under your name in both stores. Here they are side by side, on monthly billing.
- Kahunas Ultimate, unlimited clients$99
- FitBudd Super Pro, 20 clients$149
- My PT Hub Premium + white label$204
- Trainerize Studio Plus, 500 members$275
FitBudd adds $2 a month for each client over 20 and $75 once for setup. At 50 clients, it costs $209 a month.
Not in the chart: Everfit and Exercise.com, which ask you to contact sales. PT Distinction Pro costs $59.90, but only the Google Play listing is yours. Playbook doesn't offer a listing of your own, and TrueCoach's pages don't mention one.
Setup, fees and what happens when you leave
The details that decide a switch, platform by platform. Where a card says nothing about fees or exports, the vendor's pricing page doesn't state them.

When to stay on Trainerize, and how to switch
A switch costs weeks of work, so first check whether you need one. Trainerize may already be the right tool if:
- You coach clients 1:1, and nobody asks what the app is called.
- Pro's $169 one-time branded app is enough for you: your logo and colours, plus your own Google Play listing.
- You're close to 500 clients. Studio Plus includes payments, every add-on and your own listing for $275 a month.
The honest answer is your clients do not care what the app is called. They care whether you respond fast, program well, and help them see progress. A branded app does not improve any of those things.
Switching in four steps
-
Before you cancel
Export your clients
Trainerize exports a CSV with each client's name, email, phone and trainer. Programs aren't in it, so plan time to rebuild them.
-
Before you cancel
Open your developer accounts
Apple charges $99 a year and Google Play $25 once. FitBudd, My PT Hub, Everfit and Kahunas (for Google Play) also ask for a D‑U‑N‑S number, a free company ID.
-
About 30 days
Wait for your new listing
Kahunas gets "99% of all apps live within 30 days". Trainerize quotes about 4 weeks for its own Studio apps.
-
Switch day
Move payments, then cancel
When you cancel, Trainerize stops renewing recurring products and deactivates your branded app. Set up payments on the new platform first.
Or your own app: builder, agency or partner
Every platform above gives you its own app in your colours. The other way is a custom app built around you and your program. Our guide to the four routes compares ownership and fit, and what a fitness app costs works out what you keep.
Build it yourself
$29.25 /mo and up
- FlutterFlow Basic costs $29.25 a month, billed yearly.
- On Passion.io, your own store listing starts with Expand at $699 a month.
- You build the app and answer every member email.
Hire an agency
$50,000 and up for a first version
- ScienceSoft prices a fitness MVP "from $50,000". Topflight quotes $70,000 to $110,000.
- Upkeep averages 25% of the build a year (GoodFirms survey).
- You own the code, if the contract says so.
Revenue-share partner
$0 up front
- The partner builds and runs the app for 15% to 50% of revenue, by company.
- The share lasts as long as the partnership.
- Terms differ a lot, so compare what each one runs for you.
Revenue-share partners
Fitera is one of these partners, and we earn from it. The others are described from their own pages, checked 14 Sep 2026.
- Transformation Challenge
- Creators "keep 70% of their subscription revenue", minus a 3% card fee, and joining is free (transformationchallenge.app).
- Foundry
- A monthly platform fee plus a 15% to 30% revenue share. The creator owns the code (builtbyfoundry.io).
- Plankk
- Builds custom branded fitness apps and handles "everything from app design to development and maintenance" (plankk.com). It doesn't publish its split.
- Fitera
- $0 up front and no monthly fee. You keep 50% to 70% of net revenue, fixed in the contract. The Stripe and store accounts are in your name.
At Fitera, your members, subscriptions and content stay with you if you leave. The minimum term is 12 months, then 60 days' notice, and the code stays with us unless you buy it out.
For 1:1 coaching, a platform above is usually the better tool. We work with creators from about 20,000 followers with high engagement, and we talk to each one in person before saying yes. Apply with the 2‑minute form.
Questions coaches ask
How much does Trainerize cost?
$10 a month for Grow, with up to 2 clients. Pro runs from $25 for 5 clients to $135 for 50 and $250 for 200. Studio Plus starts at $275 for up to 500 members and includes your own App Store listing (every plan and add-on).
Trainerize vs Everfit: which is better for a branded app?
$275 a month gets your own listing on Trainerize Studio. Everfit keeps it for Enterprise, which needs Studio with 500 clients ($430 a month alone) plus a sales quote. Without your own listing, Everfit Pro starts lower: $19 for 5 clients.
Does Trainerize give you your own app in the App Store?
Yes, on Studio plans only: the App Store listing sits in your own developer account, while the Google Play listing is published from Trainerize's. The $169 one-time Pro branded app puts your logo and colours on Trainerize's app, listed on Trainerize's shared Apple listing and your own Google Play listing.
Do I keep my branded app if I cancel Trainerize?
No: it is deactivated. Recurring products sold through Trainerize stop renewing. Export your client CSV before you cancel.
What is the cheapest Trainerize alternative with a branded app?
$99 a month: Kahunas Ultimate, with unlimited clients and your own listings in both stores. Apple's developer account adds $99 a year.
