AZEOO vs Hexfit: Which All-in-One Platform Fits Your Coaching Business?

You're comparing AZEOO and Hexfit because both rank at the top of the French-speaking coaching software market. Both promise a single cockpit for your sessions, clients, and payments. But they're built on different bets. AZEOO is a French mobile-first startup, gamified, designed for live broadcasting and modern engagement. Hexfit is a Quebec-born desktop-first platform, bilingual, designed for programming rigor and long-term tracking depth. Here's an honest side-by-side from a working coach's lens, with the macro-precise nutrition gap both platforms quietly leave open.

Quick Verdict

Pick AZEOO if you coach on the move, run live VOD group classes, want a modern app with gamification (badges, challenges, leaderboards), and accept the 24-month commitment to publish your branded app in the App Store and Google Play. The 9 EUR/month excl. VAT entry ticket stays hard to beat for solo coaches starting out, the 8,000-food and 1,500-recipe nutrition library covers complementary meal planning, and built-in French tax compliance simplifies life for independent coaches based in France.

Pick Hexfit if you build structured programs with periodization, progressive overload, and tight training blocks, and if you coach bilingual clients in French and English (Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, mixed markets). The installed base of 6,000+ professionals, Quebec origin, and exercise science DNA give a programming depth few other tools match in the French-speaking coaching market.

Neither one nails macro-precise meal plans to the gram. AZEOO ships a decent nutrition module for a training-focused practice, Hexfit treats nutrition as a secondary module in a training-first tool. If your clients pay for plans calibrated to exact macros with full white-label and a validated recipe library, you'll need a dedicated tool either way. More on that below.

AZEOO at a Glance

AZEOO is a French startup founded in 2015 that equips over 1,800 French-speaking personal trainers. The positioning is direct: replace the tool stack mess (one app for programming, another for billing, a third for client messaging, a fourth for nutrition) with a single integrated platform. Session programming, meal plans, client tracking, booking, payments, and a branded client app on higher tiers.

On the numbers, AZEOO ships 1,200+ exercise videos (strength, CrossFit, mobility, stretching), 8,000 verified foods, 1,500 recipes, 40+ payment methods, and integrated French tax compliance. Live VOD broadcasting and gamification (badges, challenges, leaderboards) are key differentiators against more traditional platforms. The client app offers a modern design built for mobile-native generations.

On pricing, three commitment-free tiers (except Sur Mesure). Essentiel starts at 9 EUR/month excl. VAT on annual billing for 50 clients max, Pro climbs to 99 EUR/month excl. VAT for 5,000 clients, Sur Mesure jumps to 129 EUR/month excl. VAT with a 24-month commitment to unlock the white-label app in the stores. For the full analysis, read our AZEOO review 2026.

Hexfit at a Glance

Hexfit is a Quebec-based fitness software company headquartered in Montreal. The positioning is different from AZEOO: an all-in-one coaching platform built first for training programming rigor. Session builder with periodization, progressive overload tools, exercise video library, client management, and scheduling. Over 6,000 professionals equipped (personal trainers, gym owners, fitness studios, physios) according to publicly shared figures.

The exercise science DNA shows in the session builder. You structure programs by phase, week, and day, with supersets, circuits, and custom rest periods. For a coach building 12 or 16-week programs with linear or block progression, Hexfit outclasses most French-speaking tools on programming depth. The built-in video library and the option to upload your own exercise videos save hours on technical feedback over time.

Bilingual French-English support (Quebec origin obliges) gives a clear edge for coaches working with clients in both languages, or practicing in Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, or mixed markets. Pricing lands around $30-50/month depending on the tier, with a limited free trial available. For the full analysis, read our Hexfit review 2026.

Pricing Side-by-Side (2026)

AZEOO and Hexfit price differently. AZEOO applies a French grid in EUR excl. VAT, per coach, with a very low entry ticket that climbs quickly on higher tiers. Hexfit applies a North American grid in USD, with a tighter range but tiers that progressively unlock advanced features. Here's how it stacks up in practice.

AZEOO Hexfit
Free trial Yes, no credit card Yes, limited period
Entry plan Essentiel: 9 EUR/mo excl. VAT (50 clients) ~$30/mo per tier
Mid-tier Pro: 99 EUR/mo excl. VAT (5,000 clients) ~$40/mo per tier
High-tier Sur Mesure: 129 EUR/mo excl. VAT (24-mo commitment) ~$50/mo and up
Branded client app App in stores: Sur Mesure only Limited customization, no app in stores
Exercise library 1,200+ videos Video library + custom uploads
Nutrition module 8,000 foods, 1,500 recipes Basic, calorie tracking
Languages Primarily French Native French and English
Live VOD broadcasting Yes, integrated No, programming-focused
Gamification Badges, challenges, leaderboards Not gamification-centered
Commitment None (Essentiel, Pro), 24 months (Sur Mesure) Variable per tier
Primary market France, French-speaking Belgium, Romandy Canada, bilingual markets, France

For a French personal trainer starting solo, AZEOO Essentiel at 9 EUR/month excl. VAT remains the most accessible entry in the French-speaking market. For a coach crossing the 50-client mark or a multi-coach studio, AZEOO's Pro tier at 99 EUR/month excl. VAT becomes comparable to Hexfit at the mid-tier. For a Quebec, Belgian, or Swiss coach working with bilingual clients, Hexfit brings a language alignment AZEOO doesn't fully match.

Feature Comparison: Workouts, Nutrition, App, Live, Gamification, Admin

AZEOO and Hexfit cover the basics of a modern coach's stack but the depths differ per module. AZEOO pushes modernity, mobility, and engagement. Hexfit pushes programming rigor and tracking depth.

On training, Hexfit takes the edge with its periodized session builder. The phase-week-day structure, superset and circuit handling, custom rest periods, and the option to upload your own exercise videos answer the needs of a coach building 12 or 16-week programs with structured progression. AZEOO offers a 1,200+ exercise video library and a drag-and-drop session builder, faster to pick up but lighter on long periodization.

On nutrition, AZEOO takes the edge with its 8,000 foods and 1,500 recipes. The module stays decent for a coach offering meal plans as a complement to training. Hexfit treats nutrition as a secondary add-on to training tracking, with no white-label on the plans sent out and a limited recipe library. Neither one auto-generates plans calibrated to per-client macros to the gram, which is the shared limit we cover further down.

On the client app, AZEOO opens a gap with its Sur Mesure tier publishing an app under your brand in the App Store and Google Play (logo, colors, name). Your clients download your app, not the AZEOO app. Hexfit offers more limited visual customization per tier, without store publication. For a coach building a visible personal brand, the gap matters, provided you accept the 24-month AZEOO commitment.

On live broadcasting and gamification, AZEOO stands alone on that lane. Integrated live VOD broadcasting for group classes (great for coaches running live group Zoom sessions). Gamification with badges, challenges, leaderboards, and social feedback that keeps clients engaged over time. Hexfit doesn't play on that turf, the tool stays built for serious individual programming over community engagement.

On admin and billing, AZEOO handles built-in French tax compliance, 40+ payment methods, program sales, recurring subscriptions, and exclusive content. Hexfit offers a training-first analytics dashboard (client retention, session completion rate, progression tracking) but stays lighter on French invoicing than its native French competitor. For an independent French coach, AZEOO simplifies admin in a meaningful way.

Who AZEOO Is Best For

AZEOO fits French-speaking personal trainers, studios, and clubs who prioritize mobility, modern engagement, and stack consolidation in a single integrated platform.

Solo French-speaking personal trainer starting or consolidating

Recommended pick. The 9 EUR/month excl. VAT entry ticket for 50 clients keeps the bar minimal. French tax compliance, native French support, the 1,200+ exercise video library, and decent nutrition cover the needs of an independent trainer consolidating their business. Gamification and live broadcasting help maintain engagement without third-party tools.

French fitness studio, club, or CrossFit box

Strong pick. The Pro tier at 99 EUR/month excl. VAT for 5,000 clients covers a multi-coach studio's volume. Online booking for group classes and one-on-one sessions, connectors (Apple Health, Google Fit, Zapier, gym management systems), and live VOD broadcasting to extend the hybrid offer make AZEOO a solid platform for mid-sized structures.

Coach who wants a branded store app without hiring developers

Strong pick. The Sur Mesure tier publishes a branded app on the App Store and Google Play with no dev team or store submission to manage. For a coach investing in brand identity, that's a serious shortcut compared to native development costs. Weigh the 24-month commitment carefully (over 3,000 EUR excl. VAT locked in over two years).

Who Hexfit Is Best For

Hexfit fits personal trainers, physios, and gym owners who prioritize programming rigor, long-term tracking depth, and bilingual French-English support for mixed markets.

Personal trainer focused on structured programming

Recommended pick. If you build 12 or 16-week programs with periodization, progressive overload, and structured blocks (strength, hypertrophy, deload), Hexfit's session builder outclasses most French-speaking tools on the market. The Quebec team's exercise science DNA shows in the depth of training features.

Bilingual coach or mixed market (Canada, Belgium, Switzerland)

Recommended pick. Native bilingual French-English support (Quebec origin) gives a language alignment AZEOO doesn't fully match. For a Quebec coach serving English and French-speaking clients, or for a multilingual Belgian or Swiss coach, Hexfit avoids interface workarounds. The client app adapts to each client's language.

Gym owner or multi-coach studio

Strong pick. Multi-coach management, client assignment, program template sharing across coaches, and business KPI tracking (retention, completion rate, revenue) cover the needs of a mid-sized gym. The booking module handles group classes and one-on-one sessions. For an owner running 3 to 10 coaches, Hexfit stays a solid operational platform.

The Shared Limit: No Macro-Precise Plans to the Gram

AZEOO and Hexfit serve two different coach profiles but share the same limit on precise meal plan production. Neither platform auto-generates plans calibrated to per-client protein, carb, and fat targets to the gram, with fine-grained allergy filters and a recipe library validated against macro accuracy. For a coach offering nutrition as a basic complement to training, that's enough. For a coach selling premium plans tuned to each client's exact needs, the gap shows up fast.

What each platform actually offers for meal planning

AZEOO

  • - 8,000 verified foods and 1,500 recipes built in
  • - Calorie and macro tracking per client, adjustable by goal
  • - Food log interface still feels rough per user feedback
  • - No per-client macro targets to the gram with auto-generation
  • - No white-label on meal plans outside the Sur Mesure tier
  • - Basic allergy filters, shallower than a dedicated tool

Hexfit

  • - Basic nutrition module for food tracking and simple plans
  • - Limited recipe library compared to dedicated tools
  • - No white-label on meal plan exports
  • - Training-first architecture, nutrition stays secondary on the roadmap
  • - No auto-generation of per-client macro plans
  • - Allergy filters absent or very limited

If your clients accept generic plans calibrated to calorie totals and a broad macro split (40/30/30, for instance), either platform will do. If you coach athletes, structured weight-loss clients, or profiles paying for letter-of-the-law macro precision with full white-label, you'll need to add a dedicated tool. Otherwise you'll end up building plans in Excel or a separate tool, then re-uploading them into AZEOO or Hexfit to send to clients. That friction costs hours per week and weakens the professional polish your clients perceive.

When to Choose Promealplan Alongside

Promealplan isn't an all-in-one coaching platform or a training tool. It's a specialist for precise meal plan production, designed to run alongside AZEOO or Hexfit. You keep your platform for training, tracking, booking, and payments, and Promealplan delivers the nutrition side under your brand. Two tools, two problems, each sharp at its job.

On features, that means per-client macro targets (protein, carbs, fat to the gram), 1,000+ dietitian-validated recipes, 200+ allergy and dietary filters (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, keto, halal, and many more), full white-label on PDFs and the client portal from paid plans up (no Sur Mesure tier locked behind 24-month commitment), and automatic grocery lists. Three client-facing languages: English, French, Spanish. To understand the macro methodology in depth, read our macro tracking guide for coaches.

The logic stays simple: each tool stays best at what it does. Your clients consult their sessions in AZEOO or Hexfit and receive their meal plans from Promealplan, with consistent branding across both sides of the experience. For detailed head-to-head breakdowns, see our Promealplan vs AZEOO and Promealplan vs Hexfit comparisons.

Close the nutrition gap in your coaching practice. Promealplan generates personalized, macro-precise meal plans for your clients. Full white-label across all paid plans, 1,000+ validated recipes, 3 languages. Free trial, 3 plans, no credit card needed.

Bottom Line

AZEOO wins on entry ticket, live VOD broadcasting, gamification, built-in French tax compliance, and the branded store app (subject to the 24-month commitment). Hexfit wins on programming rigor, deep periodization, bilingual French-English support, and long-term tracking depth. The right pick depends less on the platform and more on your coach profile and your market.

If you're starting solo in France, running live group classes, want a modern app for your clients, and accept progressive scaling, AZEOO remains the rational choice. If you build structured programs, coach bilingual clients, or run a multi-coach gym in Canada, Belgium, or Switzerland, Hexfit aligns better with your needs. Verify the live pricing pages before committing, since the grids shift through the year.

Either way, precise meal plan production stays the shared weak spot. Promealplan complements either platform without replacing it, so you can ship a nutrition service as sharp as your training follow-up, with consistent white-label across PDFs, the client portal, and grocery lists.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AZEOO or Hexfit better for a personal trainer's business?

It depends on your profile and your market. AZEOO fits French-speaking personal trainers and studios who want a mobile-first platform with gamification, live VOD broadcasting, and a modern client experience, with an entry ticket at 9 EUR/month excl. VAT. Hexfit fits coaches and physios who prioritize desktop programming rigor, deep periodization, and bilingual French-English support, with a base of 6,000+ professionals equipped. Pick AZEOO if mobility, live broadcasts, and gamified engagement matter more than clinical rigor. Pick Hexfit if structured programming and long-term tracking depth come first.

Is AZEOO or Hexfit better for client nutrition?

Neither plays in the league of dedicated macro nutrition tools. AZEOO ships with 8,000 foods and 1,500 recipes, which is enough for a coach who offers meal plans as a complement to training. Hexfit offers a lighter nutrition module designed as an add-on to training tracking, with no white-label on the plans sent out. For meal plans calibrated to per-client macros to the gram, with full white-label and a dietitian-validated recipe library, a specialist tool like Promealplan complements either platform.

Which platform offers the best branded client app?

AZEOO reserves the white-label app published on the App Store and Google Play for its Sur Mesure tier (starting at 129 EUR/month excl. VAT on annual billing, with a 24-month commitment). The Essentiel and Pro tiers let you customize logo and colors inside the AZEOO app, but without your own listing in the stores. Hexfit offers more limited visual customization depending on the tier, without the branded store app feature. For a coach building a visible personal brand, AZEOO's Sur Mesure tier remains the most complete option, provided you accept the long commitment.

How much do AZEOO and Hexfit cost per month?

AZEOO offers three commitment-free plans (except Sur Mesure). Essentiel starts at 9 EUR/month excl. VAT on annual billing (50 clients max). Pro is 99 EUR/month excl. VAT on annual billing (5,000 clients). Sur Mesure starts at 129 EUR/month excl. VAT on annual billing with a 24-month commitment and includes the white-label app in the stores. A free trial is available with no credit card required. Hexfit prices land around $30-50/month depending on the tier chosen, with advanced features (nutrition, team management) unlocked on higher tiers. A limited free trial is available. Verify the live pricing pages before committing.

Can you combine AZEOO or Hexfit with Promealplan?

Yes, and that's actually the recommended combination for coaches who take nutrition seriously. AZEOO or Hexfit handles training, programming, client tracking, and billing. Promealplan handles meal plan production: per-client macro targets to the gram, 1,000+ dietitian-validated recipes, 200+ allergy and dietary filters (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, keto, halal), full white-label across PDFs and client portal, and grocery lists generated automatically. Three client-facing languages: English, French, Spanish. You keep your training platform, and Promealplan delivers the nutrition side under your brand.
