See why Australian service businesses are switching from Trainerize to BookAndGo
“Trainerize is built for online program delivery. BookAndGo is built for taking and managing session bookings.”
A side-by-side look at what you get with each platform.
Trainerize (ABC Trainerize) is a market-leading all-in-one online coaching platform - workout programming, nutrition plans, in-app messaging, progress tracking, and a branded client mobile app. It's excellent for delivering online training programs, but it's a heavy platform where clients must download an app, and booking self-scheduling isn't its core strength. Pricing scales per active client, so growth costs you more each month. The two tools can even coexist: keep Trainerize for programming, use BookAndGo for bookings.
BookAndGo is a flat Free–$129/mo (Professional is $59) no matter how many clients you book. Trainerize charges per active client, so every new client you sign adds to your bill - your software cost grows exactly when you're trying to grow.
Clients book in seconds from a link - no app, no account, no friction. Trainerize requires clients to download and log into its app, which is great for program delivery but a barrier for someone who just wants to book a session.
Instant self-scheduling, recurring appointments, session packages, waitlists, and a real availability engine - booking is the core of BookAndGo, not a side feature. Trainerize is built around online programming, where scheduling is secondary.
Sell an "unlimited monthly" or "sessions-per-month" membership and Stripe bills the client automatically every period. The difference: BookAndGo memberships plug straight into the booking calendar - a member books into their included sessions and the balance tracks itself. Trainerize can take in-app subscription payments, but they're tied to program delivery, not to a real self-service booking engine. There's also an AI Plan Builder that drafts your tiers.
