Pick Coachway if you want your logo on the app below 50 clients, a much bigger recipe library with photo food logging, a client app in Danish or Norwegian, or more independent reviews to go on.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Coachway or Trainda cheaper?
Trainda, at every roster size: free against €69 for 1 client, €29 against €114 at 10, €65 against €204 at 20 and €139 against €474 at 50 (ex-VAT, monthly). Even with its €20/mo Stripe add-on, 20 clients cost €85 a month on Trainda Pro30 against €204 on Coachway.
Do Coachway or Trainda take a cut of client payments?
Trainda takes no commission: payments go to your own Stripe account, and switching payments on costs €20/mo plus €50 one-time on Pro10 and Pro30 (included on Growth). Coachway takes nothing through your own Stripe checkout, but its built-in payments add 2.4% per transaction on top of Stripe.
Which one shows my own brand?
Coachway puts your logo and colours in its client app on every plan. Trainda does that from Growth (€139/mo), and sells apps under your own name in the App Store and Google Play on Enterprise at a quoted price. Coachway has not published a price for a store app under your name.
Which is better for nutrition coaching?
Coachway, for depth: a meal planner with 1,100+ recipes and 3,900+ ingredients, plus food logging by barcode and photo. Trainda has macro targets, recipes that scale, a barcode food diary and shopping lists, but about 100 ready-made recipes and a Finnish food database. See the Trainda review.
Which one has AI and wearables?
Trainda drafts workouts and recipes with AI on a credit allowance, and syncs steps and workouts from Apple Health and Health Connect (Apple Watch, Garmin, Polar, Oura, WHOOP and more). Coachway has no AI tools and syncs steps and Apple Health. Read the Coachway review.
