trainbase vs everfit
the everfit alternative without the pricing cliffs
Everfit is a capable coaching tool. Trainbase replaces tiered plans with one plan for every coach and unifies the client's whole picture in one model.
what everfit gets right
Everfit is a capable, well-built coaching tool. Its coach experience is polished, its feature coverage is broad, and a coach who wants a single place to design plans and run a roster will find it does the job competently. A fair comparison starts there, not with a strawman. The question is not whether Everfit works; it is whether its shape fits how a coaching practice actually grows.
where the model falls short
The friction is not in the features; it is in the shape. Tiered pricing puts a jump in the bill at the moment you grow, the client app is an extension of the coach tool rather than something an athlete would choose on its own, and the data the coach reads is assembled from features rather than joined in one model.

the trainbase difference
Trainbase is built so the price scales with the coach, not against them, and so the whole athlete sits in one model rather than a stack of separate features. A goal is one object both parties agree to, and progress is visible to both in the same place. Read how the price works on the pricing page, or the thinking behind the shared model in the architecture of accountability.
the honest answers
Is Trainbase a true Everfit alternative?
Yes, for coaches who want one plan with everything in it. Trainbase covers program building, nutrition, and roster management, at $25 AUD a month per coach, with their first 5 clients included, then $5 AUD a month for each client after that.
How is the pricing different?
Everfit, like most coaching tools, packages clients into plan tiers. Trainbase is $25 AUD a month per coach, with their first 5 clients included, then $5 AUD a month for each client after that, so past your first 5 the cost grows one client at a time. There is no jump in your bill at an arbitrary client count. See the pricing page for a worked example.
Is training, nutrition, and body data really in one model?
Yes. Training, nutrition, sleep, and body metrics live in one shared data model, so a goal is one object both coach and client update, rather than separate features stitched into one view.
coaching without the pricing cliffs.
Coaching built on two-way accountability, joined-up data, and every feature in one plan.
