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

WellnessLiving

  • The Starter plan at $69 per month allows only one staff member; unlimited staff requires the Business plan at $199 per month
  • The advertised $39 and $69 per month figures for Business and BusinessPro are an 80% discount that lasts 2 months, after which the rate is $199 and $349
  • Marketing, rewards and loyalty, events scheduling and lead management are all excluded from the Starter plan
  • The white label client app requires BusinessPro at $349 per month
  • Multi-location reporting, cross-location visits, a parent or HQ account and a dedicated account manager are Enterprise only
  • Enterprise is call-us with no published price
  • The 10% annual saving requires paying annually
  • Every plan, including Starter, routes through Get a demo rather than self-serve signup
