An Everfit alternative with no software bill
Short answer
Holicoach's software is free; it takes 1% of client payments after the first $500 a month, capped at $49. Everfit is free for up to 5 clients, then charges by client count, from $19 a month, with add-ons for payments ($9) and meal plans ($39). For 25 clients at $150, that's about $32.50 a month on Holicoach and $123 on Everfit.

Frequently asked
Is Holicoach cheaper than Everfit?
For coaches who take payments and offer meal plans, usually yes: Holicoach includes both, and its payments fee stops at $49 a month. Everfit's free plan covers up to 5 clients, which costs nothing if you don't need its paid features or add-ons.
Does Holicoach have AI replies like Everfit?
Holicoach drafts next week’s plan and a note to the client from their recent check-ins and your rules. You edit and approve every draft, and nothing is sent without you. Drafts are blocked if they mention medication, name conditions or promise results.
Can I move my clients from Everfit?
Yes. Invite each client with a link, and run both while you switch. Holicoach does not import from Everfit automatically yet, so you set up plans in Holicoach as clients join.
Does Holicoach do bookings and group chats?
Not yet. Holicoach focuses on one-to-one coaching: the client’s week, check-ins, plans, messages and payments. Everfit has booking, scheduling and community forums today.
