TrueCoach vs My PT Hub: Which Platform Fits Your Coaching Business?

Quick Verdict

Pick TrueCoach if you coach clients 1-on-1 online and the quality of your video feedback matters more than the size of your roster. The 1,500+ HD exercise video library, the in-message video review workflow, and the polished client mobile app make remote coaching feel premium instead of generic. The entry tier at around $20/month for 1 client lets you start small, then climb the ladder as your active roster grows.

Pick My PT Hub if you already have serious volume or want flat, predictable pricing with unlimited clients on every paid tier. Over 130,000 trainers use the platform, and it stacks awards from GetApp, Capterra, and Software Advice. The 30-day free trial with no credit card is one of the most generous in the category. The catch: the branded app is gated to the Ultimate plan at around $135/month, so you pay top tier just to put your logo on the app icon.

Neither platform nails nutrition. TrueCoach stays focused on training with a basic macro tracking module. My PT Hub offers a food diary with manual entry and basic dietary preferences. Neither one builds plans that hit exact protein, carb, and fat targets per client, with allergy filters and validated recipes. If nutrition matters to your service, you'll need a dedicated tool regardless of which coaching platform you pick. More on that below.

TrueCoach at a Glance

TrueCoach positions itself as the go-to platform for personal trainers running 1-on-1 online coaching. You get workout programming, a 1,500+ exercise video library with HD demos, an integrated in-app video review workflow, scheduling, and client progress tracking in a single product. The headline differentiator: video feedback quality. Coaches who sell remote programming use TrueCoach to send detailed form corrections in messages, which makes 1-on-1 online coaching feel closer to in-person than most competitors manage.

Pricing scales with active client count. Pro plans typically run around $20/month for 1 client, $79/month for 15 clients, $159/month for 50 clients, and $279/month for the Studio Pro tier covering roughly 100 clients. A 14-day free trial lets you test before paying. Verify the exact figures on the live pricing page since tiers can shift between visits, but the structure is consistent.

On nutrition, TrueCoach keeps it minimal: macro tracking, a client food journal in the app, and a MyFitnessPal integration that pulls in client logs. That setup works fine if you want to keep an eye on what clients eat, but it doesn't auto-generate menus from per-client macro targets. For a deep dive, read our complete TrueCoach review.

My PT Hub at a Glance

My PT Hub takes a simpler pitch: one coaching app, unlimited clients, unlimited growth. With 130,000+ trainers on the platform and a stack of awards from GetApp, Capterra, and Software Advice, it's one of the most established names in personal training software. The product covers workout programming with a flexible builder, an exercise library, client management, basic nutrition tracking, and a branded app option on the top tier.

The pricing pitch is built around per-trainer flat rates rather than per-client tiers. Starter runs around $22.50/month, Premium sits at $19.50/month on annual billing (currently their highlighted plan), and Ultimate lands near $135/month with the branded app included. Every paid tier covers unlimited clients, which makes the math predictable as your roster grows. The 30-day free trial with no credit card is one of the most generous trials on the market. A current MAY SALE knocks up to 70% off the first 2 months, so check the regular rate before you commit.

Nutrition on My PT Hub is a food diary with macro tracking and basic dietary preferences. It works for coaches who want to check on what clients eat, but it doesn't generate meal plans from macro targets. For a full walkthrough with screenshots and feature notes, see our complete My PT Hub review.

Pricing Side-by-Side (2026)

TrueCoach and My PT Hub price very differently. TrueCoach charges by client count tier, with a small Pro plan for 1 client and bigger Pro tiers for 15, 50, and 100 clients. My PT Hub charges a flat per-trainer fee with unlimited clients on every paid tier, and gates the branded app to Ultimate. Here's how it plays out, with My PT Hub's current MAY SALE noted so you can verify the post-promo regular price.

For a coach starting with 1 to 5 clients, the TrueCoach entry tier at around $20/month gives you the full video feedback depth at a reasonable price. For a coach already running 30 to 80 active clients, My PT Hub Premium on annual billing (around $19.50/month) flips the math thanks to unlimited clients. The breakeven typically sits between 20 and 40 clients depending on the TrueCoach tier you'd otherwise need. Above that, My PT Hub's flat pricing wins clearly. Always check the regular price after the MAY SALE expires before committing to an annual plan.

How Do the Workout Builders Compare?

TrueCoach and My PT Hub both cover workout creation with an exercise library, a visual builder, and program assignment to clients. The difference shows up in the day-to-day workflow. TrueCoach polishes the 1-on-1 video coaching experience. My PT Hub favors volume and flexible pricing.

TrueCoach's 1,500+ HD exercise video library is filterable by muscle group, equipment, and difficulty level. For a coach selling remote programming, the video quality alone is a real selling point. Clients understand each movement visually, and the native HD playback cuts down on form confusion. The workout builder prioritizes client readability over advanced periodization features, which fits 1-on-1 use perfectly.

My PT Hub leans on a flexible workout builder with a solid exercise library, reusable program templates, and the ability to duplicate programs across clients in a few clicks. It's useful when you run a large roster with similar goals. The interface is denser and less polished than TrueCoach's, but it absorbs volume without forcing you to rebuild from scratch each week. There's no AI workout assistant on My PT Hub, unlike some competitors such as Everfit.

On customization, both platforms let you upload your own exercise videos. TrueCoach keeps the edge on client-side video quality, with a cleaner mobile playback experience. My PT Hub edges ahead on bulk program management and group assignments for larger rosters. For more competitor context, see our Trainerize vs My PT Hub and Trainerize vs TrueCoach comparisons.

Client Experience and Branded App

For coaches building a personal brand, the branded mobile app changes how clients perceive your service. They don't download a generic app, they download yours. Both platforms offer this option, but the gating and cost structure differ a lot.

TrueCoach sells a Pro app add-on that customizes the mobile app with your name and logo. The setup goes through an App Store listing process, and there's an additional monthly fee on top of your client tier. The end experience for clients is polished and feels native to your brand, but the total cost adds up: you pay TrueCoach for the video coaching depth, then layer the Pro app on top for external branding. Budget accordingly when modeling your monthly software cost.

My PT Hub gates its branded app to the Ultimate tier at around $135/month. On Starter and Premium, your clients use the standard My PT Hub app with your logo and colors inside but not on the App Store icon. If you're taking Ultimate anyway because unlimited clients makes sense for your roster, the branded app comes along for free in that ticket. If you only want the branded app and don't otherwise need Ultimate, the opportunity cost is high. Either way, factor in your true monthly all-in cost before locking in.

The Nutrition Gap Both Platforms Leave Open

TrueCoach and My PT Hub are training-first platforms. Both ship with nutrition tracking, but neither is built for coaches whose clients pay specifically for personalized meal plans that hit exact macro targets while respecting allergies and dietary preferences. The nutrition modules act as check-in tools, not as primary deliverables.

If your clients log meals in MyFitnessPal and you review their numbers once a week, either platform's tracking layer is enough. But if you sell meal plans, run nutrition-led programs, or work with clients who expect plans tuned to their exact macros and dietary needs, the gap shows up fast. You'll find yourself building meal plans in Google Docs, Excel, or a separate tool, then re-uploading PDFs to the coaching app. That workflow burns hours per week and looks unpolished to clients who pay for premium service.

Where Promealplan Fits Alongside Either Platform

Promealplan isn't a coaching platform. It's the nutrition layer that runs in parallel to TrueCoach or My PT Hub. You keep your coaching app for workouts, video feedback, client management, and payments. You add Promealplan for the meal planning side. Different jobs, different tools, each one sharp at what it does.

On the feature side, 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 PDFs and client portal, 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 architectural pitch stays simple: two tools, two problems, each one specialized. Your clients train inside TrueCoach or My PT Hub and receive their meal plans from Promealplan, with your branding consistent across both.

Which Platform Fits Your Coaching Profile?

No single tool fits every coach. Here's how TrueCoach and My PT Hub line up against the most common coaching profiles, with a clear pick for each.

Bottom Line

TrueCoach wins on 1-on-1 video coaching quality, HD exercise library, and client app polish. My PT Hub wins on flat per-trainer pricing with unlimited clients on every paid tier and a longer free trial without a credit card. The right pick depends less on the platform and more on your business model.

If you coach 30 or fewer clients 1-on-1 and the quality of remote video feedback matters in your offer, TrueCoach stays a strong pick. If you already run 50 clients or more, or if you want flat pricing that fits cleanly in a business plan, My PT Hub Premium on annual billing is the rational economic choice. Just verify the regular price after the current MAY SALE expires before you commit to an annual term.

Either way, nutrition stays the weak spot in both products. Promealplan complements either coaching platform without replacing it, so you can ship a nutrition service that's as sharp as your training service, with full white-label across PDFs, the client portal, and grocery lists.
