Looking for a Trainerize alternative?
ABC Trainerize looks affordable until you add what most coaches actually need: the Smart Meal Planner is $45/month extra, in-app billing costs more again, and the branded app has its own fees. Synrgetic takes the opposite approach — every feature on every plan, from $8.99/month.

The add-on tax
What Trainerize really costs once you add the essentials.
| Trainerize | Synrgetic | |
|---|---|---|
| Base plan (~50 clients) | ~$120/mo (Pro 50) | $39.99/mo (Studio) |
| Meal planning & nutrition workflow | +$45/mo (Smart Meal Planner add-on) | Included |
| In-app payment collection | +$10/mo to enable, plus processor fees | Package & payment tracking included |
| Branded app | $169 setup + $99 Apple fee (Pro plans) | Not offered — one great app for all coaches |
| Realistic monthly total (50 clients, with nutrition) | ~$165–175/mo | $39.99/mo |
That’s roughly $1,500 a year back in your pocket for a 50-client coach who needs nutrition coaching — the feature Trainerize charges $540/year extra for is simply part of the job here.
Beyond price
Where each platform is strong.
| Trainerize | Synrgetic | |
|---|---|---|
| Workout programming | Yes, with a large template ecosystem | Yes — with reusable exercise guides you build once and attach everywhere |
| Nutrition coaching | Paid add-on ($45/mo) | Included: barcode-scanning food logs, calorie calculator, nutrition targets, meal plans |
| Bookings, scheduling & calendar sync | Yes (tier dependent) | Yes, on every plan |
| Business analytics | Yes (tier dependent) | Yes — earnings, bookings and growth breakdowns with export |
| Client experience | Free client app | Free client app with no ads that works as a full standalone tracker — clients keep using it between coaching blocks |
| White-label branded app | Yes, with setup fees | No — if your own branded app is essential, Trainerize genuinely serves that better |
| Scale (500–1000+ clients, big studios) | Studio plans reach 1000 clients | Gym plans up to 50 trainers with 50 clients each |
| Free tier | 1 client | 1 client free forever + one-month free trial on every paid plan |
The honest bit
When Trainerize is still the right choice.
If a white-label app with your own branding is central to your business, or you’re running a large studio that needs the ABC ecosystem and thousand-client capacity, Trainerize has real advantages. Synrgetic wins for independent coaches and small gyms who want everything included at one honest price — and their evenings back.
Making the move
Trainerize doesn’t let you export programs — plan the switch properly. The free Switching Kit covers the workarounds (client CSV export, printing programs to PDF as your rebuild reference), the client announcement, and the two-week parallel run. The founder will rebuild your exercise guides and templates with you, free.
Or see it for yourself — your first client is free.
