Limits worth knowing in Coach.me

  • Coaching is a separate recurring charge that bills weekly or monthly until canceled, and each coach you hire is priced separately.
  • A habit done several times a day needs a separate habit for each instance, and streaks count only consecutive days even when a weekly target is set.
  • The App Store lists the iOS app as iPhone-only, and the Google Play listing is marked as containing ads.
  • Chat coaching does not include therapy, medical advice, or phone or in-person sessions; phone consultations are sold separately.
