Switching

Looking for a Trainerize alternative? Here is ours, in plain numbers.

Most coaches who go looking are not unhappy with the training features. They are tired of paying separately for nutrition, for video, for payments — and of the client experience that comes out of it.

The short version

What Prometheus costs and what is in it.

Free tier
No. 14-day trial, no card required.
Monthly cost
$19 to $89, by how many clients you coach. $79 for a studio.
Nutrition
Included — plans, macros, your own food library.
Video review
Included — with annotations.
Video calls
Included, built in.
Payments
Included — invoices, subscriptions, recurring billing.
Client app
iPhone and Android, free for every client you coach.
Sales assistant
Included — follows up on enquiries and flags clients who are drifting.

The actual difference

One price, or a base price plus four add-ons.

The number a coach compares is rarely the number he ends up paying. Nutrition is priced separately, video review is a tier up, taking payments is a percentage, and the app your clients use has its own line.

Ours is one number. Whether that is cheaper for you depends entirely on how many of those pieces you actually use — so the honest way to find out is to add up what you pay today, across every tool, and compare that.

Worth switching for

You pay for nutrition or video separately today
You want calls, feedback and programming in one thread
Enquiries go cold because follow-up is manual
You coach internationally and payments are a mess
You also run a studio floor

Not worth switching for

You need a permanently free plan — we do not have one
You want your own white-labelled app in the stores
You coach two clients and a spreadsheet still works
You run a multi-site chain — that product is still in testing

Questions

Asked before switching.

How much does Prometheus cost?

From $19 a month for up to 5 clients, rising to $89 a month for up to 70. A single studio is $79 a month. Paying yearly gives you two months free. Every feature is in every plan — you pay for how many clients you coach, not for which parts of the product you may open.

Is there a free plan?

No. There is a 14-day trial and it does not ask for a card. We would rather charge properly and support the people who pay than run a free tier nobody is accountable for.

Do my clients have to pay for the app?

No. The client app is free on iPhone and Android for every client you coach, for as long as you coach them.

Is nutrition an add-on?

No. Nutrition planning, macro tracking and your own food library are in every plan, as are video review with annotations, built-in video calls and invoicing. That is the main difference from software that prices those separately.

Can I run a gym or studio on it?

A single location, yes — Studio Light adds check-in at the door, class scheduling and bookings, memberships, point of sale, shifts and bookkeeping to the same account, for $79 a month. Multi-site chains with a head office are a separate product that is still in testing.

Can I move my clients over?

Yes. Client records and programmes can be imported, so you are not retyping a roster to switch.

Move one client over.

Not the whole roster — one. If the week runs better, move the rest. Fourteen days, no card.

Start free — 14 days, no card
