Trainera vs Harbiz: Pricing, Branded App and Languages Compared (2026)

Trainera vs Harbiz: the short answer

Harbiz and Trainera are both coaching software for personal trainers. Harbiz charges by client tiers across three plans (Basic from $19 a month, Pro from $129 and My APP from $219 with an own app), while Trainera has a free plan for up to 3 clients and paid plans from $19.99 to $99 a month in the US for up to 75 clients. Harbiz fits trainers who want their own store app at a published price; Trainera fits trainers who want to start free, get AI included in the plan, coach clients in many languages or also run a gym.

This comparison uses public information only: the Harbiz and Trainera pricing pages, checked on 25 September 2026. We do not score products or use reviews; the method is explained in how we compare fitness software. For a wider list of options, see the best Harbiz alternatives.

Harbiz and Trainera pricing side by side

Harbiz publishes three plans with an entry price and tiers that rise with your client count; Trainera publishes four plans with a fixed client limit each, plus Enterprise on a quote. Client-tier pricing means you pay according to how many active clients you have inside a plan.

Prices checked on 25 September 2026 from each vendor's pricing page. Trainera prices are US prices; Trainera sets prices per country, so check yours on the Trainera pricing page. Harbiz prices come from the Harbiz pricing page.

Three details matter when reading the table:

• Monthly or yearly: the Harbiz toggle switches between monthly and annual billing with 25% off. The lower figures are annual-billed and the higher ones monthly, although the page label is ambiguous, so confirm at checkout.
• VAT: Harbiz states that its prices exclude VAT.
• Hidden tiers: only the entry price of each Harbiz plan is visible. Higher tiers, for example Basic with 30 clients, need to be checked on its site.

To see these prices against the whole market, use the fitness software pricing index 2026 or our guide to what personal trainer software really costs.

What you would pay with 5, 30 or 50 clients

With few clients the two cost about the same; the gap appears as you grow and when you want an own app. These scenarios use published prices only, in USD.

One more cost on Trainera: coaching you get paid for inside the platform carries a platform fee of 8% on Free and Starter, 5% on Pro, 3% on Business and 1% on Enterprise. Cash you record yourself is free, and you can also use your own Stripe account. Harbiz does not publish processing fees on its pricing page.

Branded app: My APP versus your brand inside Trainera

Harbiz sells the own app as a published plan; Trainera includes it in Enterprise and, on paid plans, puts your branding inside its client app. A white-label app is an app clients see under the trainer's name and look, even though another provider runs the technology.

• Harbiz: My APP, from $219 a month ($164 billed yearly), includes an own app on iOS and Android plus onboarding and mentoring. Harbiz also lists a Customize your app add-on at EUR 49.99 a month (own name and icon); the page does not make clear which plans it applies to.
• Trainera: Starter uses preset brand themes, Pro adds custom brand colours, and Business adds your own logo, a drag-and-drop website on your own domain and team seats. A separate app under your own name in the App Store and Google Play is part of Enterprise.

If an own store app is your priority and you want a published price, Harbiz offers it directly. If your brand inside a shared app is enough, Trainera covers that from $19.99. The cost difference between the two approaches is broken down in white-label fitness app pricing.

Languages, AI and free options

Trainera works in 26 languages and includes AI on every plan; Harbiz has its website in English, Spanish and German and sells nutrition AI as an add-on.

On Trainera, AI drafts stay under your control: nothing is assigned to a client without your review. If you coach clients in several countries, read the best multilingual fitness app for personal trainers.

Studios and gyms

Harbiz targets personal trainers and small studios; Trainera also has dedicated gym management plans. If your business is a facility with members, a front desk and door access, that part is worth a look.

Gym Core costs $149 a month in the US, with unlimited members, no per-member fee, no setup fee and a 7-day trial. It covers a web dashboard, membership packages, a QR member card and turnstile connection, class scheduling, a leads CRM and card payments through the gym's own Stripe account at a 0% platform fee. Gym White Label, $299, adds the gym's own member app under its name in the App Store and Google Play. The details are on the Trainera for gyms page.

Who each platform fits

Neither is the right choice for everyone: it depends on your client count, whether you need an own app and the languages your clients speak.

Harbiz is a good fit for:

• Trainers who want their own iOS and Android app at a published price, without asking for a quote.
• Coaches with more than 75 clients who prefer published tiers over a quoted plan.
• Anyone who values WhatsApp support and individual onboarding.
• Trainers who can pay a year upfront and use the 25% discount.

Trainera is a good fit for:

• Trainers starting out who want a free plan with no expiry date.
• Coaches who want AI for training and nutrition plan drafts included in the plan.
• Trainers whose clients speak different languages.
• Businesses that combine online coaching with a gym that has members.

Trainera is not the right fit if you need an own store app now and do not want an Enterprise quote, or if you coach more than 75 clients and prefer a published price. Harbiz may not fit if you want to keep a free option after the trial, or if your clients need other languages: its website is in English, Spanish and German, so check which languages the app supports before deciding. We compare another vendor with the same method in Trainera vs Trainerize.

How to switch from Harbiz to Trainera

The move happens in stages at no migration cost: you test with a few clients first, then move the rest.

1. Send what you have: exports, PDFs, spreadsheets or screenshots of your plans.
2. The Trainera team sets it up: clients, training and nutrition plans and your own exercises.
3. Test with 2 or 3 real clients on the Free plan, with no card and no deadline.
4. Move the rest once it works. Payment history and subscriptions from other tools stay where they are.

The details are on the migration page. To try it, you can create a free trainer account.
