A coaching platform in 2026 has to do more than hold a calendar. Coaches sell sessions, programmes, a community, and often a course, and the commission has to stay obvious.
WithMe covers that list at $25/month billed annually with 0% commission, iOS and Android customer apps, and a 14-day free trial. Start your 14-day free trial.
Can clients book coaching?
Yes on WithMe. Coaching bookings sit in the same hub as the course and the community. Stan Store also includes calendar and booking tools on Creator. Coachful is built around client work. Kajabi can sell coaching, and you are paying suite prices to do it.
How do clients pay?
On WithMe, clients pay by card through Stripe. WithMe takes 0% commission. Stripe's fee still applies and varies by country, so it is not quoted here. You can sell a single session, a package, or a subscription.
Can you run a programme, not only a session?
A programme is the course plus the sessions plus the place people talk between them. WithMe holds all three. A calendar tool on its own does not. Kajabi can, at Basic's $143/month billed annually and a 5-product cap.
Is there a community around the coaching?
WithMe includes community on the same plan. Skool is the specialist if points and Discovery are the product, at $9/month or $99/month plus Skool's transaction fee. Podia includes community, with a 5% fee on Mover.
Is there a customer app?
WithMe includes iOS and Android customer apps. A branded App Store app is an add-on. Kajabi holds its branded app for Pro. Thinkific sells a branded app as a $199/month add-on, which is a different product from this shortlist.
What commission do you pay?
WithMe is 0%. Coachful's platform fee is 0%, and the plans are billed monthly: Lite $29 (up to 5 clients), Solo $49 (20 clients), Pro $99 (unlimited clients), with a 7-day trial. Kajabi takes no revenue share. Stan's transaction fee is 0%. Skool and Podia Mover take a percent.

How do you run 1:1 coaching and a course from one hub?
Put the course and the coaching offer on the same WithMe hub, take payment once through Stripe, and let clients use the customer app for both. The community is there for the weeks between sessions. You do not bolt a separate course school onto a separate calendar. The plan is $25/month billed annually.
Where the others win
Coachful wins if you want a coach-specific tool and you are happy with a client cap on the cheaper plans. Skool wins if the group, not the 1:1 work, is what people pay for. Kajabi wins if the coaching sits inside funnels and pipelines you already built. Stan wins for a simple booking link in a bio. WithMe is the hub that keeps the session, the course, and the community on one bill.
