Where each one falls short

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

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

Eight Sleep

  • Mandatory monthly subscription ($17-$33) required for core features
  • Premium pricing starts at $2,999 for mattress cover alone
  • Pod Pro mattress rated as too firm for side sleepers with delicate pressure points
  • Edge support weakness with minimal perimeter reinforcement
  • Limited to Queen and Full sizes only
