Best personal trainer apps in India (2026): prices and features

The best personal trainer app for an Indian coach runs clients, plans, check-ins and rupee payments in one place, at a price that still works as your client list grows. This comparison covers eight coaching apps, using each one's official pricing page. Trainaq comes first because it fits coaches who bill in rupees, and every other app gets a plain note on when it may suit you better.

Key Takeaways

• For coaches who bill Indian clients in rupees, Trainaq is the closest fit: ₹799, ₹1,499 and ₹2,499 a month + GST for up to 10, 50 and 200 active clients (as of 28 Oct 2026), with UPI payments and GST invoices.
• Trainerize, Everfit, TrueCoach, PT Distinction, My PT Hub and Kahunas list prices in US dollars, so you are billed in dollars and your card's exchange rate applies.
• Everfit lists a free plan for up to 5 clients, My PT Hub and Kahunas list unlimited-client plans, and My PT Hub lists a branded app, which Trainaq doesn't offer.
• Exly takes a commission on sales (10%, 6% or 3% by plan) and suits coaches who mainly sell courses and digital products.

How were these personal trainer apps compared?

Every price below comes from the app's own official pricing page: the plan that covers a given number of active clients, billed monthly, before add-ons and taxes. Trainerize, Everfit, TrueCoach and Exly were checked on 16 Oct 2026, and PT Distinction, My PT Hub and Kahunas on 17 Oct 2026. Trainaq's prices are as of 28 Oct 2026.

Six of the eight apps list their prices in US dollars. Paying from India, you are billed in US dollars and your card's exchange rate applies, so the rupee amount on your statement can change from month to month. None of those figures has been converted here.

Every app on this list is a tool for running paying clients. Workout apps sold straight to the public, with no coach in the loop, are left out.

Which is the best personal trainer app for Indian coaches?

For most Indian coaches who bill clients in rupees, Trainaq is the closest fit: plans are priced in rupees + GST, clients pay by UPI, card or netbanking through Razorpay, payments come with GST invoices, and the client app is free. It isn't the right fit for everyone, and its gaps are listed below.

As the disclosure above says, NutraCore is affiliated with Trainaq, so weigh this section with that in mind.

Trainaq

Trainaq is a coaching platform from an Indian company. Trainaq Coach is the trainer's Android app plus a web dashboard at app.trainaq.com; clients join through the coach's invite link and use the free Trainaq app on Android.

Plans are sized by active clients. As of 28 Oct 2026 in India, Starter (up to 10 clients) is ₹799, Pro (up to 50) is ₹1,499 and Studio (up to 200) is ₹2,499, each a month + GST. Yearly plans cost less per month. Check trainaq.com/in/pricing for current prices, because prices can change. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial, and no card is needed.

Even Starter includes the program builder, 600+ exercises with 1,600+ HD 3D demo videos made by Trainaq, diet plans with Indian foods in household measures, AI food photo logging, weekly check-ins and memberships with dues tracking. Pro adds the AI diet and workout builder, group classes and a team, and Studio adds multiple branches. There is more on Trainaq's page for personal trainers in India.

Where Trainaq falls short:

• There is no branded or white-label app. Your clients use the Trainaq app, not one carrying your name.
• Online payments run through Razorpay for Indian businesses. A coaching business based abroad that takes payments through Stripe should look elsewhere.
• There is no free-forever coach plan, and the 7-day trial is shorter than several listed below.

How do Trainerize, Everfit and TrueCoach compare on price?

At 10, 50 and 200 active clients, Everfit lists the lowest monthly price of these three, Trainerize sits between the other two, and TrueCoach lists the highest prices up to 50 clients and none above that. All three list prices in US dollars, before add-ons and taxes, on official pricing pages checked on 16 Oct 2026.

The three overseas apps are billed in US dollars, and your card's exchange rate applies. Trainaq's rupee prices are as of 28 Oct 2026; check trainaq.com/in/pricing for current prices. For a like-for-like view in dollars, Trainaq's own list prices outside India are $19, $39 and $79 a month.

Trainerize

Trainerize prices its Pro plans by client seats. Its page lists paid add-ons such as Advanced Nutrition Coaching and Stripe Integrated Payments, and the prices above leave those out. Source: its official pricing page, checked on 16 Oct 2026.

May suit you better if your coaching business is based outside India and you want card payments through Stripe. Trainaq's online payments work through Razorpay for Indian businesses.

Everfit

Everfit lists a Starter plan that is Forever Free for up to 5 clients, and a Pro plan priced by client tier. Paid add-ons on its page include Payments & Packages and Meal Plans & Recipe Books. Source: its official pricing page, checked on 16 Oct 2026.

May suit you better if you coach five clients or fewer and want to pay nothing for software. Trainaq has no free coach plan once its trial ends.

TrueCoach

TrueCoach lists a Standard plan for up to 20 clients and a Pro plan for up to 50, and asks coaches with more clients to contact it for a price. Source: its official pricing page, checked on 16 Oct 2026.

May suit you better if you already run your clients on it, your list stays under 50, and moving your programs would cost you more time than the price difference is worth.

Is Exly a better fit for Indian coaches?

Exly works on a different model. It lists prices in rupees and takes a commission on sales: 10% on its Starter plan, which has no upfront fee, 6% on Pro and 3% on Premium. Its page centres on selling digital products, courses and consultations, while Trainaq charges a flat monthly plan for coaching clients week after week.

Source: its official pricing page, checked on 16 Oct 2026. The page doesn't say whether its prices include GST.

A commission is easy to start with, since nothing is paid upfront on Starter, but it rises with your sales. A flat plan costs the same however much your clients pay you.

May suit you better if most of your income comes from courses, digital products or one-off consultations rather than ongoing coaching, or you'd rather pay a share of sales than a fixed monthly fee.

What do PT Distinction, My PT Hub and Kahunas charge?

All three list US dollar plans with client caps and free trials of different lengths. PT Distinction starts at $19.90 for 3 clients, My PT Hub at $25 for 3 clients with unlimited clients from $59, and Kahunas at $35 for up to 25 clients, according to their official pricing pages checked on 17 Oct 2026.

Like the apps in the previous section, these three bill in US dollars at your card's exchange rate.

PT Distinction

Its page lists extra trainers as free and offers monthly pricing only. Source: its official pricing page, checked on 17 Oct 2026.

May suit you better if you want a month-long trial before paying, or you plan to add trainers and want them at no extra charge.

My PT Hub

Beyond the monthly plans, its page lists annual billing paid monthly at $22.50, $52 and $195, a custom branded app at $95 one-time, and a white-label app at $145 a month on Premium. Source: its official pricing page, checked on 17 Oct 2026.

May suit you better if you want an app under your own brand, which Trainaq doesn't offer, or you coach more than 200 clients, since Premium lists unlimited clients.

Kahunas

Its page lists yearly prices of $315, $621 and $900 for the three plans. Source: its official pricing page, checked on 17 Oct 2026.

May suit you better if you coach more than 200 active clients online and want an unlimited plan. Trainaq's largest plan, Studio, covers up to 200.

How should an Indian trainer choose a coaching app?

Choose on your real client count, the full cost in rupees, and how your clients will pay you and log their food. A cheap entry plan means little if you outgrow it in three months, and a dollar price can cost more than it looks once the exchange rate and add-ons are counted.

Five questions to ask before you pay:

1. What will I pay at the client count I expect next year? Price the plan you will need, not the one you start on.
2. What sits outside the headline price? Add-ons, commission, GST and foreign-currency billing all change what you spend.
3. How will my clients pay me? For clients in India, UPI and GST invoices save a round of follow-up messages.
4. Does the food list match what my clients eat? Log a home-cooked meal such as dal, rice and sabzi as a test client. Our post-workout nutrition guide for Indian vegetarians has typical meals to test with.
5. Will the trial show me a full week? Run it with a few real clients, then re-check the price on the day you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which personal trainer app costs the least?

It depends on how many clients you coach. Everfit lists a free plan for up to 5 clients, and Exly's Starter plan has no upfront fee but takes 10% of sales. Among flat plans at 10, 50 and 200 clients, Trainaq's dollar list prices ($19, $39 and $79) are lower than those of Trainerize, Everfit and TrueCoach, while My PT Hub's Premium lists unlimited clients at $59.

Do my clients pay for the Trainaq app?

No. The Trainaq client app is free, and clients join through your invite link. For the other apps, check each official pricing page for what, if anything, clients pay.

Can I move to Trainaq without retyping my client list?

Yes, if you can get your client list into an Excel or CSV file. Import it in Settings → Import Data on Trainaq's web dashboard, then send each client their invite link by WhatsApp, text or email.
