0% platform fee on your coach billing
Cadence uses Stripe Connect direct — every coach is the merchant of record for their own clients. Client subscription payments flow directly into your own Stripe account. Cadence never sees, holds, or processes the money. Platform fee on coach billing: 0%. The TrueCoach 5% structurally cannot exist in this architecture.
Flat-fee unlimited at every tier
TrueCoach's tiered per-client model puts you on $137/mo Pro at 50 clients. Cadence Coach is $79/mo flat — the same price whether you have 5 clients or 500. As your roster grows, the gap widens.
Stronger coach-side programming + lifetime AI memory
TrueCoach reviews flag the coach-side programming as 'lacking' and 'less functional on Android.' Cadence's coach dashboard is the same on iOS, Android, and desktop (PWA architecture). Plus lifetime AI memory — the AI remembers every PR, meal log, check-in across the full coach-client arc, not just the current session.
