Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

JEFIT

  • Many exercises require gym equipment, making it unsuitable for home workouts without access to barbells and dumbbells
  • Limited nutrition and recovery tracking features compared to comprehensive fitness apps
  • Limited integration options with fitness trackers like Fitbit and does not natively support cardio app data
  • Limited capabilities for advanced strength training methodologies like powerlifting or weightlifting-specific programming

PT Distinction

  • The $19.90 per month Basic plan includes only 3 clients, with each extra client costing $6.00 per month after the first month
  • The per-extra-client rate falls with the plan, from $6.00 on Basic to $2.40 on Pro and $1.60 on Master, so smaller coaches pay the most per client
  • Custom branded iOS and Android apps require the Pro plan at $59.90 per month; Basic ships unbranded apps
  • There is no free plan; the entry point is a one-month free trial
  • Client counts included are 3, 25 and 50, so growing past a tier means either an upgrade or per-client overage
