PT PRO VS TRAINERIZE
Tired of paying per client and getting stiffed on no-shows? PT Pro is the AU-built alternative — unlimited clients at a flat $29 AUD/mo, plus card-on-file no-show fees Trainerize doesn't offer. Trainerize scales to ~$175 USD/mo at 50 clients. Here's the full breakdown.
Quick Verdict
PT Pro wins for in-person AU trainers — flat $29 AUD/mo, AUD-native pricing, and card-on-file no-show fees Trainerize simply doesn't have. Trainerize is online-coaching-first and prices in USD; once you're past 5 clients its per-client tiers cost more, and at 50 clients it runs ~$175 USD/mo (≈$265 AUD) vs PT Pro's flat $29 AUD. Trainerize still wins if you need a 3,000-video exercise library or built-in nutrition coaching.
