## What is the best TrainHeroic alternative for remote strength coaching?

For team and organization strength programs, **TeamBuildr** is the closest match to TrainHeroic. For 1:1 remote coaching with a branded app, look at **TrueCoach**; for individually designed programs, **CoachRx**; for lifters on a tight budget, **Hevy Coach** or **Everfit**; and if you want training, nutrition, check-ins and payments in one app at a flat price per plan, **Trainera**.

TrainHeroic itself is a strong, fairly priced tool: $34.99 a month for up to 15 athletes, $59.99 for up to 35 and $99.99 for up to 100, per the [TrainHeroic pricing page](https://www.trainheroic.com/pricing/) (checked October 2026). So the right alternative depends on what you are missing, not on price alone. Every figure below comes from each vendor's own pricing page or help center, checked October 2026.

## Why do coaches look beyond TrainHeroic?

Most coaches who switch need something TrainHeroic is not built for, usually a branded app, deeper 1:1 nutrition and check-ins, or annual billing.

* **No white-label app.** TrainHeroic lets you add your logo, custom exercise demos and your own content, but does not offer an app under your own name.
* **Monthly prices only.** The pricing page shows monthly prices and no annual plan.
* **Marketplace fees.** Sales you bring in through your own links cost $1 a month per subscription plus 2.9% + $0.30 in bank fees; sales TrainHeroic drives through "Marketplace Match" carry a 30% fee plus bank fees, per its Marketplace seller terms.
* **Team focus.** It is built for performance coaches running teams and 1:1 athletes. A coach whose clients mostly need fat loss, nutrition and habit coaching may want a broader tool.

If none of these apply to you, staying put is a perfectly good answer. Our [Trainera vs TrainHeroic comparison](/blogs/trainera-vs-trainheroic-comparison) and the [TrainHeroic pricing guide](/blogs/trainheroic-pricing) cover the details.

## TeamBuildr: the closest match for team strength programs

TeamBuildr fits strength and conditioning coaches who run teams or a whole organization and want unlimited coaches on one account.

Per the [TeamBuildr pricing page](https://www.teambuildr.com/pricing), Silver is $90 a month for up to 50 athlete profiles, Gold $150 for 250, Platinum $200 for 500 and Platinum Pro $280 for 1,000, all with unlimited coaches. Annual plans cost 10 times the monthly rate, so 10 or 30 athletes come to $900 a year on Silver. Custom logo and colors are in every tier, and the features page lists 1,000+ exercises with video demos. You get a Weight Room View for TV and tablet, custom 1RM, max and PR tracking, wellness questionnaires and leaderboards. On program sales you pay standard Stripe processing, with no commission.

The trade-off: it is priced per organization, so a solo online coach with 10 clients pays more than on TrainHeroic.

## TrueCoach: for 1:1 remote coaching with a branded app

TrueCoach fits a solo coach who programs individual remote clients, stays at or under 50 and wants a branded app included.

The [TrueCoach pricing page](https://truecoach.co/pricing/) lists Starter at $29.98 a month for up to 5 clients, Standard at $69.98 for 20 and Pro at $164.98 for 50; annual billing brings these to $26.34, $57.99 and $136.99 a month. Standard and Pro include a "Custom-Branded Fitness App", wearables and public coach profiles, and the plan cards list a 3,000+ video exercise library. Payments through TrueCoach cost a flat 5% per transaction. Above 50 clients you need a quote. We compare the two head to head in [TrueCoach vs TrainHeroic](/blogs/truecoach-vs-trainheroic), and the plans in our [TrueCoach pricing guide](/blogs/truecoach-pricing).

## CoachRx: for individually designed programs

CoachRx fits coaches who write every program by hand for each client and want lifestyle coaching next to training.

On the [CoachRx pricing page](https://www.coachrx.app/pricing), 1-5 clients cost $29 a month, 6-50 clients $79 and 51-150 clients $199 ($25, $67 and $169 a month billed annually). The CoachRx homepage FAQ shows a different figure for 51-150 clients, so confirm at checkout. Every account gets all premium features. It describes itself as built for coaches who "value depth over volume", with AI-assisted program design (RxBot), LifestyleRx, video coaching and messaging. Payments through its Business Suite add 2% on top of Stripe's fees. There is a 14-day free trial and free help moving your data.

The trade-off: at 75 clients you are on the $199 tier, and no branded app is mentioned. See [Trainera vs CoachRx](/blogs/trainera-vs-coachrx-comparison) for more.

## Hevy Coach: for lifters already on Hevy

Hevy Coach fits a strength coach whose clients already log in the Hevy app and who wants the lowest entry price.

The [Hevy Coach pricing page](https://hevycoach.com/pricing) shows one plan priced by client band: $25 a month for 1-10 clients, $50 for 11-25, $90 for 26-50 and $160 for 51-100\. Billing is monthly only, the trial runs 30 days with no card, and clients get free Hevy Pro. The library has 400+ exercises and you can create your own. There is no branded app, and the pricing page does not cover collecting client payments, so check that in the trial.

## Everfit: for a free or low-cost start

Everfit fits a coach who wants to start free and grow into paid tiers, with optional add-ons for automation, payments and meal plans.

Per the [Everfit pricing page](https://everfit.io/pricing/), Starter is free for up to 5 clients. Pro costs $29 a month at 10 clients, $75 at the 35-client tier and $120 at 75 ($24, $63 and $100 a month on annual billing). It lists 1,000+ exercise videos and a 30-day trial. Payments, automation (Autoflow) and meal plans are paid add-ons, and a fully white-labelled app is on Enterprise only. Our [Everfit pricing guide](/blogs/everfit-pricing-2026) covers the add-ons.

| I need nutrition, check-ins and payments too | Trainera, Everfit with add-ons          | Send one check-in, one meal plan and one invoice to a test client       |

## Where does Trainera fit?

Trainera fits 1:1 coaches who want training, nutrition, check-ins and payments in one app at a flat price per plan, rather than team strength programming.

Trainera's trainer plans are Free ($0, up to 3 clients), Starter ($19.99 a month, 10 clients), Pro ($49.99, 30 clients), Business ($99, 75 clients) and Enterprise (custom, unlimited). These are US dollar prices; prices differ by country on [trainera.fit/pricing](/pricing). The library has more than 1,800 exercises with video and 1,100+ recipes. On the web you drag and drop exercises into a plan and group them into supersets, clients see a new personal record flagged in an exercise's history, and the iPhone app comes with an Apple Watch app where clients log sets with a rest timer and heart rate. On Pro, Business and Enterprise you can schedule weekly live sessions on YouTube with join reminders and attendance tracking. Payments through Trainera carry a platform fee by plan (8% on Free and Starter, 5% on Pro, 3% on Business, 1% on Enterprise) and 0% on cash and bank transfer.

Coming from another platform, you can send Trainera your export and the team moves your clients and plans across for free, or import plans yourself from JSON, CSV or Excel. Be honest with yourself about fit: if you run team S&C with leaderboards and a weight room screen, TeamBuildr or TrainHeroic suit you better, and Trainera's own branded store app is an Enterprise feature only.

## A switching checklist that protects your athletes

Switch in a quiet week and keep both tools running until every athlete has logged a session in the new one.

1. Ask TrainHeroic support what you can export: programs, exercise library, athlete history and maxes.
2. Save your current maxes and PRs somewhere you control before you cancel.
3. Rebuild one template program in the new tool and check the sets, loads and video demos on a phone.
4. Move a small group of athletes first and send them a short message, for example: "From Monday your program lives in a new app. Here is the link, and your maxes are already in."
5. Cancel TrainHeroic only after the last athlete has logged a full week in the new app.
