Both cover courses & coaching. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Coaching software priced per active client
CoachAccountable charges by active client rather than by seat or by feature, which means a coach with two clients pays for two. Between sessions it carries the worksheets, the metrics a client is tracking and the homework that decides whether coaching works at all. The interface is dense and shows its age. Coaches who want the record of what happened between calls tend to forgive it.
Our note
This is the cheaper option below about ten clients and the dearer one above twenty, where Paperbell's flat $57 overtakes it, and that crossover is the whole decision between them. The interface looks its age and the tracking underneath it is better than anything else at this price.
Courses, funnels and email with a cart attached
Kartra sells the whole stack in one subscription: pages, checkout, email, membership and the course itself, with everything wired together on arrival. The trade is stated plainly on the pricing page, because the cheapest plan takes five percent of what you sell. Contact limits are the other constraint and they bind sooner than most people expect. Anybody with an email platform they like is paying twice.

Our note
Work out the transaction fee against your expected sales before choosing Essentials, because at any real volume the dearer plan is cheaper once the percentage stops applying. Systeme.io covers similar ground on a free tier and Kajabi is the closer comparison at the top end.
