ABC Trainerize vs Trainero (2026): which should you pick?

Pick ABC Trainerize if

• Fits if you coach clients on workouts and meals and want them following your plan in an app
• Works for gyms that want programs, booking and a branded app together on a Studio plan

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if booking is the main job, as it needs the $25-a-month Business add-on on Grow and Pro
• Tight if you're staying free, because the Basic plan covers one client and the trial leaves out add-ons
• Pricey if your client list grows: Pro is $122 a month at 50 clients and $225 at 200, billed yearly
• Watch out: payments ($10), video coaching ($10) and advanced nutrition ($20 to $45) are monthly add-ons on Grow and Pro
• Watch out: unused time isn't refunded, and a downgrade only applies at the end of the billing cycle

Pick Trainero if

• Fits if you sell workout plans, diets and courses from one place
• Works for gyms that want a CRM and an online store in the same tool

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you build many plans, as Premium allows 200 and Ultra 600
• Watch out: the White Label plan has no published price and goes through sales
• Pricey if you prefer annual billing, as only monthly prices are shown
• Not for you if you want a free start, as only a 14-day trial is listed
• Watch out: the pages do not name which operating systems the coach and client apps run on
