A private advisor
Ask about a plateau or programming around an injury. Names and dates stripped first; it suggests, you approve.
Pro · client billing
Your clients' money never touches us.
That's how the fee is 0%.
PlanFlow Trainer isn't a payment processor and doesn't want to be one. Your clients keep paying you exactly how they already do — Venmo, Zelle, Square, cash, a card reader at the front desk. PlanFlow Trainer's job is the part you actually lose sleep over: who's paid, who owes, and proving it.
- Set the price on the package. "10 sessions · $500" — package templates remember it for next time.
- Client pays you directly. However you like. PlanFlow Trainer never routes, holds, or sees the money.
- Record it in seconds. Amount, date, method (cash, card, e-transfer), optional note. Price / Paid / Owes updates on the client's card, with a progress bar.
- Email the receipt. One tap sends the client a receipt; the payment history shows it was sent. Sessions count down as you finish them.

your ENTIRE top plan
Their cut alone costs 3× your whole subscription — before you even pay their monthly fee on top. Here you pay 0% of your revenue. Forever. On every plan.
PlanFlow Trainer vs TrueCoach, Trainerize, PT Distinction & Everfit
What they do. What we do. What we skip on purpose.
These are good platforms — for online coaching. This chart is what matters when you're standing next to the client, in the room. The last three rows are things we skip on purpose.
Coaching online? Go use TrueCoach or Trainerize — they're built for it, and you'll be happier there. This app is for the floor. If you're not standing next to your client, it isn't for you — and that's fine. Spend the fees; we'll be here if you ever come in off the internet.
Every price below is from each company's own published pricing page, checked July 2026. Prices change — so we linked straight to the source. Verify any number that matters to you, and if we've fallen out of date, tell us and we'll fix it. Their pricing pages: TrueCoach · Trainerize · PT Distinction · Everfit

The AI advisor — privacy
Ask about the plateau. Keep the person out of it.
You met the Advisor at the top of the page. Here's the part that matters with real clients: what it sees, and what it never does. It suggests; you decide. Skip it entirely and the app works exactly the same.
- ✕Names, emails, phone numbers and exact dates are stripped on our servers before anything reaches the AI. Clients get placeholder labels.
- →The AI sees the training data — the sets, the goals, the injury notes — never who they belong to.
- ■If an identifier slips the scrub, the question is blocked, not sent. Fail closed, per client, only with that client's consent.
- ✓Every action needs your tap. The AI proposes; nothing is added, edited or archived until you hit Approve — and every action is logged.
The full pipeline — including its known limits — is spelled out in our Privacy Policy. We'd rather under-promise here. Each client consents before the AI ever sees their data.
