How to create an app for your coaching business: no-code builders, app platforms or an app that comes with your hub

Build a coaching app with Glide or Adalo, pay an app platform, or use the WithMe app on iOS and Android at no extra cost. $25/month billed annually (UK £25).

WithMe Team·11 November 2026

The quickest way to give your coaching clients an app is to sell through a platform that already has one. Every WithMe hub works in the WithMe app on iOS and Android, included in your plan: clients sign in with the email they bought with and find their coaching, courses, community and downloads. If you want your own name and icon in the App Store, WithMe builds a white label app as a paid add-on. Building from scratch with a no-code tool is possible, but you take on the payments, logins and app store work yourself.

WithMe is $25 per month billed annually (UK £25), with a 14-day trial and 0% WithMe commission. Stripe and PayPal fees still apply. More than 8,000 creators use it.

What are your options for a coaching app?

There are four routes, and they differ mostly in who does the building and who owns the App Store listing.

  • A no-code app builder such as Glide or Adalo. You design every screen and connect your own data, logins and payments.
  • A creator app platform such as Passion.io, Kajabi, Mighty Networks or Uscreen. Your content goes into their app, and a branded app with your own listing usually sits on a higher plan or an add-on.
  • The app that comes with your creator hub. On WithMe, every hub works in the WithMe app on iOS and Android at no extra cost.
  • A white label app: your own iOS and Android app with your name and icon, built and maintained for you.

What does a coaching app actually need to do?

Before you compare tools, list what your clients will open the app for. For most coaches it comes down to five things:

  • A login that matches what they bought, so they see only the programmes and sessions they paid for.
  • A private space with you: messages, voice notes or videos between sessions.
  • Course content such as video lessons, workbooks and PDFs, ideally with progress they can see.
  • A community or group space if you run group coaching.
  • Somewhere to find upcoming calls and the links to join them.

Can you build it yourself with Glide or Adalo?

You can, but check what you are building first. Glide apps are web apps you open in the browser or add to the home screen. Glide's own help centre says publishing to the App Store or Google Play is not supported. Glide's paid plans start at $25 per month (checked 11 November 2026).

Adalo can publish to the App Store and Google Play. Its Builder plan is $65 per month, or $624 per year, for 2 published apps, and Business is $200 per month or $1,920 per year (checked 11 November 2026). You also pay Apple $99 a year and Google $25 once for the developer accounts.

With either tool, the coaching part is still yours to build: taking payments, deciding who can see what, storing videos, sending emails and keeping it all working when Apple or Google change their rules. For most solo coaches, that is a lot of build time for something an existing platform already does.

What do creator app platforms cost?

These are each platform's own published prices, checked 11 November 2026. Card processing fees are extra on all of them.

  • Passion.io: plans are listed at $119, $279 and $599 per month, billed yearly. Only Expand, at $599, includes an App Store and Google Play listing under your name. Payment fees run from 3.9% on Launch down to 1.9% on its custom plan.
  • Kajabi: Basic is $143 per month billed annually ($179 monthly). Customers can use the Kajabi app on every plan. A branded app is included on Pro, at $399 per month billed annually ($499 monthly), and Kajabi's help centre lists it as a $199 per month add-on on any plan. You create your own Apple and Google developer accounts for it.
  • Mighty Networks: Launch is $79 per month with a 2% transaction fee. Branded apps come with Mighty Pro, which has custom pricing.
  • Uscreen: branded iOS and Android apps start on App Essentials, listed at $449 per month billed annually, plus $0.99 per member. A 20% discount runs until 30 November 2026.

Prices change, so check each pricing page before you decide. The pattern holds across all four: the app with your own listing costs several times the entry plan.

What does the WithMe app give your clients?

Every WithMe hub works in the WithMe app on iOS and Android, included in your plan. There is nothing to set up: once someone buys, your content is there in the app as well as in your hub on the web.

  • They sign in with the same email address they used to buy. The app shows only your content, not other creators'.
  • Coaching, courses, community and downloads they bought from you, in one place.
  • Course lessons as video, text, audio, PDFs shown in the app's reader, or files such as worksheets.
  • Your community, where members can post, comment and like.

When is your own white label app worth it?

A white label app is your own iOS and Android app with your name and icon. WithMe builds it, submits it to the App Store and Google Play under the WithMe developer account, and keeps it updated.

It makes sense when your brand matters more than anything else, such as a fitness studio, a coaching method with its own name or a large paid community, and you want your icon on clients' phones.

Most coaches start with the WithMe app, because it is included and works from day one.

How do you get your coaching clients into the WithMe app?

  1. Start your 14-day trial and set up your hub.
  2. Create your coaching offer: a 1:1 Coaching product for ongoing work, a Coaching Call for booked sessions, or both.
  3. Add any course, community or downloads that go with it.
  4. Share your hub link. Clients buy on the web, on your hub or your own domain.
  5. Tell clients to download the WithMe app on iOS or Android and sign in with the email they bought with.

What is not included?

The white label app is not part of the $25 plan: it is a paid add-on. App push notifications go to you as the creator, for sales and sign-ups; members do not get push notifications. There are no video calls inside the 1:1 chat: live sessions run through a Coaching Call on Google Meet or Zoom.

How much does WithMe cost?

WithMe is $25 per month billed annually (UK £25), with a 14-day trial and 0% WithMe commission. Stripe and PayPal fees still apply. Free migration of up to 10 GB of your courses and members comes with the yearly plan. One plan covers courses, memberships, community, coaching, webinars and digital products.
