Pick FitPros if
- Price is the deciding factor and you have more than three clients today.
- You sell programs and want payments in the same tool.
- You want your own branding on the client app, or a website built for you.
- You coach in English and your clients do too.
Pick Gymgress PT if
- You coach nutrition as well as training and want the diet plan in the same app the client logs in.
- You review technique from video, or you coach in person and want a booking calendar.
- Your clients speak Swedish or Spanish.
- You want the client app to be something they would use without you, so that leaving you is not the same as deleting their training history. Clients notice that before they install anything.
- You would rather pay €10 or €25 for a tool with nothing to add on than pay $29 for the pro layer of a free one.
What both do well
Both start free without a card. Both give clients a real app rather than a web portal. Both are built by small teams that answer their own support mail, which is the thing most trainers end up caring about after month two.
Three clients free, no card, no trial clock.
