TeamBuildr vs TrainHeroic
The two names that come up most for team strength & conditioning software, and both publish real pricing — just at very different resolutions. TeamBuildr has four tiers by athlete count ($90–$280/mo) with unlimited coach accounts included on every one. TrainHeroic has eleven tiers ($9.99–$399.99/mo), the most granular ladder in this catalog, but charges $9.99/mo per assistant coach and skips gym-floor displays, VBT analytics and payment processing entirely.

TrainHeroic

The verdict
Pick TeamBuildr if your roster is 250+ athletes, you want gym-floor TV displays or velocity-based-training analytics, and unlimited coach seats matter more than the lowest possible entry price. Pick TrainHeroic if you are a smaller team or just starting out — its $9.99/mo floor undercuts TeamBuildr’s $90/mo minimum by a wide margin — or if selling training programs through a built-in marketplace is part of your business model. Neither includes payment processing on its core plan; TeamBuildr at least offers it as a paid OS add-on.

- Your roster is 250+ athletes and unlimited coach seats matter more than entry price
