TeamBuildr vs Trainerize

Two coaching platforms priced by a completely different unit. TeamBuildr scales by athlete-roster size — $90/mo for 50 athletes up to $280/mo for 1,000, with unlimited coach seats included on every tier. Trainerize scales by individual client count — free for 1 client, then $10 to $250/mo as you add clients one at a time, with meal planning, payments and video coaching billed as separate add-ons.

TeamBuildr

Strength-and-conditioning software built for teams — published per-athlete tiers, unlimited coach seats, and a real price cut instead of a promo.

Higher score

Trainerize

The market-leading coaching app — powerful, but the add-ons stack up.

The verdict

Pick TeamBuildr if you are programming for a team — a sports performance staff, a tactical unit, a large group-training operation — and want the price to scale with roster size instead of per-client billing, plus unlimited coaches on every tier. Pick Trainerize if you run a 1-on-1 online coaching book: its client-facing app, habit tracking and integration ecosystem are the deepest in the category, though the per-client pricing and add-ons add up as your roster grows.

Choose TeamBuildr if…

  • You program for a team or squad, not a book of 1-on-1 clients
  • You want unlimited coach/staff seats included at every price point
  • You want the price to scale by athlete count, not by adding clients one at a time
