What is the best software for group coaching?

What we judged it on

These criteria are about your situation, not about product quality. If you disagree with them, the recommendation below does not apply to you, and you should stop reading here rather than trusting it.

  • 1. Cohort management
  • 2. A community space that stays active between calls
  • 3. Group billing

The pick

Our own product

Coachful

coaching platform · from $29/mo

Cohorts, community and payments sit in the same system, so a group programme does not need a second subscription to run.

This is our product. Weigh the recommendation accordingly, and check the alternative below before deciding.

Where this pick falls down

If you run one cohort a year, a shared document and a video call will genuinely do.

When to buy something else instead

The alternative

Skool & Circle

community platform · $49–99/mo

Compare the two diagrams above. The difference between them is the set of parts you would be buying separately, which is usually a bigger cost than the difference in monthly price.
