Harbiz alternative: the same market, a different bundle
Harbiz and TrainerStudio are both built in Spain for coaches, and they compete head-on. The decision is rarely about missing features — it is about what sits inside the plan and what costs extra: the branded client app, nutrition, and the jump from the entry tier to the next one.
Who should stay with Harbiz
Harbiz is the stronger fit for a certain shape of business, and pretending otherwise would waste your time. If invoicing and studio bookings are the core of your operation, it is doing work TrainerStudio does not match.
Keep Harbiz
- Established brand in the Spanish market
- Strong business management and invoicing module
- Integrates with booking systems for in-person studios
- Low entry price to get started
- You run a studio or box mixing in-person and online, where booking and invoicing come first
Look at TrainerStudio
- You want your own brand on the client app without paying 149 EUR/month for it
- You coach nutrition and do not want it as a paid add-on
- You are starting out or have few clients and need a free plan to prove the model
- You coach purely online and do not need studio booking
- You want prices adapted to your country, not a single euro list
Where the bundles diverge
- No free plan
- Own-brand app only on the My APP plan (149 EUR/month billed annually)
- Nutri AI and Video Library are paid add-ons
- Significant price jump from Basic to the higher plans
1. The branded app is the biggest single line
In Harbiz, an app under your own brand means the My APP plan at 149 EUR/month billed annually for 50 clients. In TrainerStudio, the client app carries your logo and colours on every plan — including the free one. For a coach with 30 to 50 clients that difference alone is roughly 50 EUR a month before anything else is counted.
2. Nutrition: included or add-on
Harbiz covers nutrition partially, with Nutri AI and the Video Library sold as paid add-ons on top of the subscription. TrainerStudio includes day-by-day meal plans, recipes with automatic macro calculation and a food database in the plan. If nutrition is part of what you sell, price the add-ons before comparing headline numbers.
3. The step from entry plan to real plan
Harbiz starts at 14 EUR/month billed annually for 5 clients and the next tier is 89 EUR for 50 — a wide gap for a coach sitting at 12 clients. TrainerStudio steps through 5, 15, 30, 50 and unlimited (19, 39, 69, 99 and 149 EUR), which fits a roster that grows one client at a time.
4. What Harbiz users report
- Users report slow loading and performance problems
- Friction editing workouts and programs
- Value for money questioned once add-ons stack up
- Limited analytics and reporting on client progress

What you give up by switching
- Harbiz’s business management and invoicing depth, which is its strongest module.
- Full online booking and the integrations studios use for in-person scheduling. TrainerStudio’s booking is only partial.
- A longer track record in the Spanish market. TrainerStudio is younger, with fewer external integrations and a smaller community.
Other Harbiz alternatives worth shortlisting
Harbiz sits between coach software and studio software, so alternatives pull in both directions. Decide which way yours leans:
- Is invoicing and studio booking the core of your operation, or 1:1 client delivery?
- Do you want your own brand on the client app, and are you willing to pay a premium plan for it?
- Is nutrition part of your service or an add-on you skip?
- Do you need a free tier to prove the model before you commit?
TrainerStudio
The closest like-for-like swap: also built in Spain, also coach-first, but the branded client app and nutrition are in every plan and there is a free tier for 3 clients. €19–€149/month, adapted per country.
Virtuagym
If the studio side matters more than the coaching side: memberships, class booking and facility management. Priced per location from $19/month, with the custom app and analytics as add-ons.
Trainerize
The English-language incumbent, useful if you coach internationally. Free for 1 client, Pro $23 for 5, scaling to 200 — but the branded app is an add-on with a $169 setup fee on Pro, included only from Studio Plus at $248/month.
Everfit
A modern option with a real free tier for 5 clients and Pro at $19 for 15 — but meal plans start at an extra $33/month and Autoflow from $24, so compare totals.

How to migrate from Harbiz
- Open the free plan (3 clients, no card) and set your branding first, so you are comparing your app against your app.
- Rebuild your two or three most used programs as templates, and any nutrition plan you reuse across clients.
- Invite three clients by email and run a complete week: programming, check-in, chat, progress.
- Move billing at the next renewal date, and only then cancel Harbiz — annual plans are worth running to term.
- If you also run a studio, keep the booking tool you already use rather than forcing a total migration.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best Harbiz alternatives in 2026?
TrainerStudio is the closest like-for-like swap: also Spanish, also coach-first, with the branded app and nutrition included in every plan and a free tier for 3 clients. Virtuagym fits better if memberships and class booking matter more than 1:1 coaching. Trainerize is the English-language incumbent, free for 1 client, though its branded app is an add-on on Pro plans. Everfit has a free tier for 5 clients, though its meal plans start at $33/month as an add-on.
What is the main difference between TrainerStudio and Harbiz?
Both are built in Spain for coaches, so the overlap is real. The difference is what each includes at the price you pay. TrainerStudio has a permanent free plan for up to 3 clients and puts the branded client app, nutrition with recipes and macros, and AI-assisted routines in every plan. Harbiz has no free plan, gates the own-brand app behind My APP at 149 EUR/month billed annually, and sells Nutri AI and Video Library as paid add-ons.
How much does Harbiz cost?
Harbiz Basic is 14 EUR/month billed annually (19 EUR/month if paid monthly) for 5 clients, Pro is 89 EUR/month for 50 clients, and My APP is 149 EUR/month for 50 clients with your own branded app. All prices exclude VAT. Reviewed 18 July 2026.
Is TrainerStudio cheaper than Harbiz?
It depends on the plan and whether you want your own brand on the app. At the entry point they are close: Harbiz Basic is 14 EUR annually or 19 EUR monthly for 5 clients, TrainerStudio Starter is 19 EUR for 5 — but TrainerStudio's first 3 clients are free. At 50 clients Harbiz Pro at 89 EUR is cheaper than TrainerStudio Premium at 99 EUR; add a branded app and Harbiz becomes 149 EUR against the same 99 EUR, because in TrainerStudio branding is included.
Does Harbiz include nutrition?
Partially. Nutrition exists, but Nutri AI is a paid add-on, and the same applies to the Video Library. TrainerStudio includes day-by-day meal plans, recipes with automatic macro calculation and a food database at no extra cost.
Is it hard to migrate from Harbiz?
There is no automatic import. In practice: open the free plan, rebuild your two or three core programs as templates, invite clients by email, and move billing at the next renewal so nobody pays twice in the same month. Support helps with the move.
