TrainerStack vs Trainerize

Less than half the price, with the add-ons already in.

ABC Trainerize is the best-known coaching app on the market and a solid choice if you want a big marketplace of integrations. The catch for an Australian PT is that the base plan is only the start: meal planning, client payments and lead management are each separate add-ons, billed in US dollars plus GST.

Where TrainerStack wins

  • One price. At the founding price, A$69 is about US$48, roughly a third of the Trainerize bundle above.
  • Meal planning that fits a recipe to the meal target in one click, with the method in the client’s app.
  • A real lead pipeline with forms, lead magnets and automations, not an add-on.
  • Expenses with GST and receipts, so BAS time is an export, not a shoebox.

Where Trainerize wins

  • A much larger integrations list (wearables, Zapier, MyFitnessPal) and a longer track record.
  • A trainer mobile app with years of polish. TrainerStack’s trainer side runs in the browser.
  • Group training and large-team features if you run a studio with several coaches.
