WHAT THEY CANNOT DO
The gaps no programming app fills
Programming apps deliver workouts. But running a coaching business requires scheduling, payments, marketing, video sessions, contracts, and client portals that Trainerize and TrueCoach simply do not offer.
Video Coaching Sessions: No Zoom Required
Trainerize and TrueCoach have no video conferencing. You use Zoom ($13-22/month), juggle meeting links, and lose the client context. Calisto Meet provides native browser-based video conferencing tied to your client record. Session notes, programming history, and progress data are visible during the call, and the notes save straight to the client profile. Clients join with one click from their portal, no downloads required, $0 per meeting.
Scheduling & Payments: One System, Not Three
TrueCoach has no scheduling. Trainerize has basic scheduling. Both rely on Stripe-only payments. Most coaches juggle Acuity ($16-49/month) for scheduling, Stripe for payments, and a programming app for workouts. Calisto combines all three: native booking with calendar sync, 75 payment gateways with recurring billing and session package management, and workout delivery, in one subscription.
Client Portal: Professional, Not Just an App
Trainerize and TrueCoach have mobile apps for workout delivery. But clients also need to view their contracts, access their payment history, book sessions, message their coach, and download nutrition plans, all in one place. Calisto Navigator provides a full client portal with workout programs, session booking, a document vault for contracts, waivers and plans, payment history, and direct messaging. Professional, branded, and accessible from any device, not just mobile.
Collect payments. Your way.
Trainerize locks you into Stripe with their markup. TrueCoach also forces Stripe-only processing. Calisto connects to 75 payment gateways across 11 global regions. Your merchant account. Your rates. Recurring billing, session packages, and one-time payments, all with the processor you choose.

Switching questions
Does Calisto include an exercise library?
Yes. Calisto includes a customizable exercise library with video demonstrations. You can add your own exercises with custom video, import from our starter library, and build reusable program templates. Exercise history and personal records are tracked per client automatically.
Can my clients use Calisto on their phone?
Yes. Calisto Navigator is a fully responsive web portal that works on any device: phone, tablet, or desktop. Clients access workouts, book sessions, message you, view their progress, and manage payments from their phone browser. No app store download required, which means instant access and no update friction.
How does Calisto handle group classes?
Calisto supports group class scheduling with capacity limits, waitlists, automated reminders, and recurring schedules. Clients book and pay through their portal. Attendance is tracked automatically. You can run 1-on-1 coaching, group classes, and online programs all from the same platform.
How does pricing work?
Setting up costs nothing and no card is required. You get full access to all 71 products with no feature restrictions. Core carries no additional cost. Commerce is a 1% revenue share. Every other suite is priced per app in the Marketplace.
Why do you charge a percentage of revenue?
Because it makes us partners, not a vendor. A flat subscription means your software company collects the same fee in your best month and your worst. A revenue share means we only grow when you grow. Slow month or off-season? Your bill scales down with you.
