CoachAccountable
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.
LearnDash
Turn a WordPress site into a course platform
LearnDash is the answer for somebody who already has a WordPress site and does not want their course living on somebody else's domain. Lessons, quizzes, drip schedules and certificates all become part of the site you own, and the payment plugin is your choice rather than theirs. Hosting, backups and the security of that site stay your problem. That is the whole trade against a hosted platform.
