TL;DR for solo coaches

Under 100 clients? Cadence Coach is $99/mo flat with a real branded app. Trainerize Pro is $20-77/mo without a branded app — to get one you'd need their $250/mo Studio plan. Cadence ships in 24 hours; Trainerize's branded build takes 2-4 weeks.

What MyPTHub coaches actually say

Why coaches outgrow MyPTHub.

Common feedback from G2, Capterra, and Reddit on why coaches start cheap with MyPTHub but eventually move on.

"It works for the price but my clients constantly ask why my app looks generic and old. Hard to charge premium when the app feels cheap."

— MyPTHub coach, G2 review

How Cadence fixes it: Cadence ships a premium-feeling branded app. The UI signals the price point you charge — and supports the rate.

"The interface feels like it's from 2018. Modern coaches are on Trainerize, Everfit, or building their own."

— Reddit r/personaltraining feedback

How Cadence fixes it: Cadence is built on a modern stack with current design patterns. The UI doesn't age you out.

"No AI features, no automation. I do everything manually — every plan, every check-in, every reminder."

— MyPTHub user feedback

How Cadence fixes it: Cadence automates check-in reminders, plan generation, billing dunning. Your time goes to coaching, not admin.

"Customer support takes 3-5 days to respond. Usually with templated answers that don't match my question."

— MyPTHub Capterra review

How Cadence fixes it: Vantage Digital is a small team. Direct response within hours, not days.

"After 50 clients I outgrew it but the export tools are limited — moving to a better platform was painful."

— Long-time MyPTHub coach

How Cadence fixes it: Cadence has clean CSV import/export. Moving in (or out) takes 30 minutes, not weeks.

FAQ

Honest answers.

Is Cadence worth the price difference vs MyPTHub?
If you charge $150+/mo per client, yes — the branded app and AI plans pay for themselves through better client retention and the ability to charge what you're actually worth. If you charge $50/mo per client, MyPTHub's price point matches your business model.
Does MyPTHub have AI plan generation?
Not natively. They have a workout library you build from. Cadence uses Claude Haiku 4.5 to generate adaptive 7-day plans based on each client's last 14 days of training data.
Can I migrate from MyPTHub easily?
Yes. Export your MyPTHub data as CSV → import into Cadence via /migrate. Standard 30-minute migration.
Why is Cadence priced higher?
Three reasons: (1) real branded app from day 1, no volume gate; (2) Claude AI plan generation, not template swapping; (3) concierge build with a 30-min brand call and 24-hour delivery, not self-serve setup. The premium reflects the premium product.
