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.
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.
Skool
Community, courses and a calendar in one paid space
Skool puts a forum, a course player and events behind one membership. The interface is deliberately plain, which keeps people posting, and there is very little customization by design. Both plans take a percentage of what members pay, which is the part of the pricing that has changed most since Skool launched.
