Comparison — vs My PT Hub

Coach Sheet vs My PT Hub: Two Flat-Rate Tools, Different Bets

My PT Hub charges $48 flat. Coach Sheet charges $15 flat. Both target the pain of per-client pricing. The difference is what each tool bets on after that.

Verdict

My PT Hub is our nearest direct competitor on pricing model, both are flat-rate, unlimited clients. They're 3.2x more expensive ($48 vs $15) but ship a more mature product including branded apps and built-in payments. We win on data ownership, methodology configurability, and the price gap. They win on UI maturity and ecosystem.

Where My PT Hub wins

  • 01 More mature product overall, they've been shipping flat-rate unlimited longer
  • 02 Branded mobile apps included on the $48 tier (you don't pay extra)
  • 03 Built-in payment processing
  • 04 Bigger exercise library and food database

Where Coach Sheet wins

  • 01 $15 flat vs $48 flat, saves $396/year at any roster size
  • 02 Sheets-native data ownership (My PT Hub stores in their cloud)
  • 03 Methodology cells editable (RPE bands, volume landmarks, macro ratios)
  • 04 Three-test PR protocol with confidence band
  • 05 Inline 'Achieved' free-text comments next to each exercise
  • 06 Open Apps Script, you can read or modify the automation logic

TL;DR

My PT Hub and Coach Sheet share the same core bet: flat pricing that doesn’t punish you for growing your client roster. The difference is what comes after that bet. My PT Hub bet on a mature traditional coaching app. We bet on Sheets-native architecture and methodology depth.

If you’d already chosen My PT Hub over Trainerize for the flat pricing argument, the comparison to Coach Sheet narrows to: do you want to save another $33/month and own your data, in exchange for a less mature UI?

Pricing math

Both tools are flat. The math is straightforward.

RosterMy PT HubCoach SheetAnnual savings
Any$48/mo$15/mo$396/yr

That’s $33/month forever, regardless of whether you have 10 clients or 200. Compounds to almost $2,000 over five years.

Where My PT Hub wins

Product maturity. My PT Hub launched in 2014. They’ve had 12 years to refine the workflow, fix edge cases, and build out integrations. We launched in 2026. There will be edges in our tool they’ve smoothed over.

Branded mobile apps included. On the $48 plan, your clients can download a branded version of the app from iOS and Android stores. Logo, colours, name. We don’t offer branded apps; our PWA can be themed with your logo but lives at a URL.

Payment processing. My PT Hub bundles Stripe Connect for client payments. Convenient if you don’t already have a payment flow. We don’t bundle this; you keep your own Stripe.

Larger libraries. Bigger exercise demonstration library. Larger built-in food database for nutrition logging.

Where Coach Sheet wins

The price gap. $33/month is real money. Reinvested into your business at a 5x multiple (client lifetime value, etc.), it compounds.

Data ownership. My PT Hub stores client data in their cloud. Standard SaaS pattern. Coach Sheet writes to your Google Drive. You own the underlying spreadsheets; cancel us and they keep working as ordinary Google Sheets, formulas intact.

Methodology configurability. This is where the philosophical difference shows up.

  • RPE color bands: in My PT Hub, RPE is a dropdown with fixed values (5-10). In Coach Sheet, RPE thresholds for “easy/moderate/hard” colour coding are cells you can edit per athlete or per program.
  • Volume landmarks (MEV/MAV/MRV): My PT Hub doesn’t have a concept. Coach Sheet has them as configurable per-muscle-group cells.
  • Macro ratios: My PT Hub has preset macro splits. Coach Sheet has cells where you set protein/fat in g/kg, and carbs fill the residual.

For coaches with a defined methodology they don’t want to abandon, this matters.

Three-test PR protocol. Built into the Lifting Records tab. My PT Hub tracks single rep maxes without the protocol structure.

Inline Achieved comments. My PT Hub uses a separate chat tab for client communication. We embed the comment directly next to each exercise in the workout sheet. The communication-and- prescription mental model is different; we think the inline approach reads better for review.

Open Apps Script. Coach Sheet’s automation runs in Google Apps Script. You can read it. You can modify it if you want to change behaviour for your specific use case. My PT Hub is a closed SaaS. You take what’s there.

When to choose which

Choose My PT Hub when:

  • Branded mobile apps in app stores matter to your business
  • You want a mature, polished product over saving $33/month
  • You don’t want to manage anything in Google Drive
  • You need built-in payments

Choose Coach Sheet when:

  • Your data ownership argument matters to your clients (or to you)
  • Methodology configurability is non-negotiable
  • The $33/month difference is meaningful
  • You’re comfortable with a slightly newer product

Migration

My PT Hub has a workout export feature. Export your client roster as CSV, run the Coach Sheet onboarding wizard for each (3 minutes per client), and verify a week of programming before deactivating the My PT Hub subscription.

A note on the philosophical overlap

My PT Hub and Coach Sheet are the closest competitors on the “we don’t tax you per client” angle. We respect that. The trainers who chose My PT Hub over Trainerize already made the right call once. The question is whether they’d make a similar call again, this time for owning their data and saving another $33/month.
