How TrainerCheck stacks up against the big platforms: written to help you work out which tool you actually need, including the cases where you should stay exactly where you are.
The short version: the platforms below are full coaching systems: they build programs, host a client app, write nutrition plans and take payments. TrainerCheck does one job: the automated weekly check-in loop, for a flat £25/month with unlimited clients.
So the question isn't which is "better". It's how much of a platform you open in a normal week. If your clients genuinely train from programs in an app every day, a platform earns its price and these pages will tell you so. If your training lives in Sheets, Notion or a PDF and what you really need is knowing who checked in and who's gone quiet, you're paying platform prices for one loop.
All of them at once
The six main coaching platforms in one place: what each is genuinely best at, current pricing, and a "which should you pick" table. No ranking, no fake winner, and it says up front that we're one of the six.

Read the UK guide →Against the platforms
A full platform priced by client count. Worth it if you program inside it, expensive if check-ins are the only part you open.
Read the comparison →Per-client pricing that jumps at 5, 20 and 50 clients. The maths on what the check-in loop is costing you as you grow.
Read the comparison →A low headline price, but the plan scales per client and automation is a paid add-on. Includes the case for taking their free tier instead.
Read the comparison →Unlimited clients on both sides, so caps aren't the difference, scope and price are. £59/month for the platform, £25 for the loop.
Read the comparison →Also priced in pounds, so no exchange rate to squint at. The number that matters is the £4 per client on top of the plan, and that unlimited starts at £250/month.
Read the comparison →Not really the same product: TrainingPeaks is built for endurance coaching. The page says so up front, then covers the per-athlete pricing for the narrow case where it overlaps.
Read the comparison →Against doing it by hand
The real time cost of chasing check-ins manually, and the point where it stops being worth your Sunday evening.

Entry prices as publicly listed on each vendor's own pricing page in July 2026, billed monthly; annual billing is cheaper on most. Trainerize, TrueCoach and Everfit price in USD, My PT Hub and TrainerCheck in GBP, so cross-currency comparisons move with the exchange rate. Add-on modules are not included in these figures. Pricing changes often, verify on the vendor's site before deciding.
