What does your coaching really earn?

Three numbers every PT should know: what your sessions gross, what your software stack quietly eats every year, and what the same book of clients would cost somewhere else. No signup, just maths.

Estimates only — plug in your real numbers. On Forma the coach keeps 100% of their listed rate; the member pays a flat 4% Platform Service Fee on top at checkout, minimum A$0.99. It does not taper. Trainerize pricing shown is their published USD list price as last checked in July 2026 and not re-verified since for the plan covering that client count, plus the Payments and Business add-ons a coach needs for bookings and card payments — check their current pricing, it changes. Forma prices are in AUD.
