Where each one falls short

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

Lose It!

  • No natural language input for food logging, requires manual database search for every food
  • Limited micronutrient tracking beyond basic macros
  • Lacks built-in meal planning in free tier
  • No artificial intelligence for personalized recommendations

Trainerize

  • The free Basic plan covers exactly 1 client seat and excludes the AI workout builder, custom programs and nutrition tracking
  • Pricing is driven by client seats, so the same feature set costs more as the roster grows
  • Advanced Nutrition Coaching, Business, Video Coaching and Stripe Integrated Payments are paid add-ons on the Grow and Pro plans rather than included features
  • Add-ons are priced from $10 per month each, with a custom branded app carrying a $169 one-time fee
  • Full API access, personalised onboarding and access to partner add-ons require the Studio Plus tier at $248 per month
  • SSO sign-in, a dedicated account manager and a separate app store listing are Enterprise features
  • Adding locations beyond the first is custom priced, and 5 or more locations requires contacting sales
