My PT Hub alternatives: what an independent coach should compare
My PT Hub does almost everything, and that is exactly the complaint: reporting, the calendar and payments get in the way of the work. TrainerStudio keeps the same coaching workflow in a simpler product, with your brand on the client app from the free plan onwards.
Why coaches start looking
Breadth has a cost in daily friction
My PT Hub covers workouts, nutrition, bookings, payments and check-ins. Coaches who use it every day describe the reporting and calendar flows as clunky: the feature is there, but getting a clean answer out of it takes more clicks than it should.
Payments are a recurring complaint
Payment processing friction shows up repeatedly in user feedback. For a coach, a payment problem is not a software annoyance — it is a conversation with a client.
The experience feels older than the newer tools
It is a mature product with a long history, and it looks like one. If the app your client opens is part of how you sell your coaching, that matters.
Your brand only goes so far
Branding is partial: you can customise parts of the client experience, but a fully branded client app is not what the standard plans deliver.
The My PT Hub alternatives worth shortlisting
Five platforms coaches actually compare My PT Hub against, with the two facts that decide most switches: whether there is a free plan and whether the client app can carry your brand. Prices are the cheapest paid tier in our registry; check each vendor for billing terms and taxes.
| Platform | Free plan | Your brand | From | Known for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TrainerStudio | Yes | from €19 | Everything in one plan plus your brand on the client app, with local pricing by country. | |
| Trainerize | Yes | from $9 | Free for a single client; the branded app and several features are add-ons or Studio-tier. | |
| TrueCoach | No | from $26.34 | Polished delivery and video feedback, no branded app, price steps up by client bracket. | |
| Everfit | Yes | from $19 | Free up to 5 clients and strong automation, but meal plans and Autoflow are billed separately. | |
| PT Distinction | No | from $19.9 | Deep automations and templates, a 3-client entry plan and a steep learning curve. |
What to check before you shortlist
- Whose brand is on the app your clients open, and on which plan.
- Whether you need a public booking page for in-person sessions.
- What the bill looks like at your client count in twelve months, not today.
- Whether nutrition, payments and forms are included or billed as modules.
- How many clicks the daily jobs take: assign a program, read adherence, chase a payment.
Who should stay on My PT Hub
There are two cases where switching is a downgrade, and they are worth saying out loud.
Stay where you are if
- You need proper online booking for in-person sessions — that is a full feature there and only partial in TrainerStudio.
- You run a large roster: the Premium plan is $52/month with unlimited clients, which is hard to beat at 100+ clients.
- You want a product with a long track record and a big public review base (4.6/5 across roughly 3,200 Capterra reviews, reviewed 2026-07-18).
- Your workflows already fit its structure and your clients are used to the app.
Worth testing an alternative if
- You spend more time fighting the calendar and reporting than programming.
- You want your clients to install an app with your name and colors on any paid plan.
- You are an independent coach, not a gym: you want the workflow to be simple, not exhaustive.
- You want to try the whole product with real clients before paying anything.
- You coach in Spanish or in Latin America and want support and local pricing.
Where TrainerStudio is different
Built for the independent coach
One flow for clients, programming, nutrition, chat, payments, forms, progress and AI-assisted routines — not a management suite you have to configure before it earns its keep.
Your brand on every plan
The client app carries your logo and your colors from the free plan onwards, without moving to a business tier.
Free up to 3 clients, no card
A permanent plan rather than a trial: you can build your library and run two clients through a full month before spending anything.
Nutrition with real depth
Meal plans day by day, recipes with automatic macro calculation and a food database, included rather than bolted on.

Read this honestly: below about 30 clients TrainerStudio is cheaper and includes the branded app; above 50 the unlimited Premium plan at My PT Hub is the better deal on price alone. The pricing page shows the plan for your country.
What you give up by moving
- Online booking is partial in TrainerStudio and complete in My PT Hub. If you sell in-person slots through a booking page, check this first.
- At high client counts My PT Hub is cheaper: $52/month for unlimited clients versus 99€ for 50 or 149€ for unlimited on our European pricing.
- My PT Hub has around 3,200 Capterra reviews and years of iteration behind it; we are a younger product with a smaller community.
- We are still expanding external integrations, so confirm anything you rely on before you move.
- Our support is fastest in Spanish and the team is in Spain, not the UK or the US.
How the migration works
1. Open the free plan
Three clients, no credit card. Your My PT Hub account keeps running untouched while you compare.
2. Rebuild your two or three main programs
There is no automatic importer between the platforms. Most coaches move their flagship templates first and leave the long tail behind on purpose.
3. Test the parts you complained about
Whatever pushed you to search — reporting, the calendar, a payment issue — run that exact scenario before moving anyone else.
4. Move clients in batches
Invite them by email; they install the app under your brand. Start with the clients who interact most, they will tell you fastest if something is missing.
5. Close the old account at your renewal date
Export the client history you want to keep first, then cancel so you never pay for two platforms in the same month.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best My PT Hub alternatives in 2026?
For independent online coaches the usual shortlist is TrainerStudio, Trainerize, TrueCoach, Everfit and PT Distinction. TrainerStudio is the only one that includes a client app under your own brand on every plan; TrainerStudio, Trainerize and Everfit are the ones with a permanent free plan; TrueCoach is the benchmark for polished delivery and PT Distinction for deep automation. They differ mostly in whether the app carries your brand, whether nutrition is included or an add-on, and how the price scales with your client count.
How does TrainerStudio pricing compare with My PT Hub?
TrainerStudio is free up to 3 clients and then 19€/month for 5, 39€ for 15, 69€ for 30, 99€ for 50 and 149€ for unlimited in Spain and Europe, with local pricing in other countries. My PT Hub lists a free version, Starter at $22.50/month for 3 clients, Premium at $52/month with unlimited clients and Ultimate at $195/month (reviewed 2026-07-18). Above roughly 50 clients My PT Hub is the cheaper option.
Does TrainerStudio include a client app with my brand?
Yes, on every plan including the free one. My PT Hub offers partial branding rather than a fully branded client app on standard plans.
Can I move my clients and programs across?
There is no automatic importer. You invite clients by email and rebuild your templates, which takes a few hours for a typical library. Support can help you set up the roster.
Does TrainerStudio handle session booking?
Only partially. If your business depends on clients booking in-person slots through a public booking page, My PT Hub covers that better today.
