Got questions? Allow us to assist you.

Thinkific is a great course delivery platform that allows you to offer a branded learning experience. While using it as a delivery tool, you can also build a landing page to promote your course.

While it gets a lot right for imparting education, coaches will find it lacking - it lacks crucial abilities found in a coaching management platform. Features like session scheduling, session notes, goal setting or contracting and invoicing are missing.

Simply.Coach is a Thinkific alternative which gives you an end-to-end solution for your coaching business to:

Reduce your admin effort and save you over 30% of your time
Help build your branded coaching business with a white label platform
Allow you to coach 1-on-1 and groups
Help highlight the ROI of your coaching with completely customizable coaching tools and reports

Trusted by businesses across 34+ countries! Why?

Simple! We are a platform built by coaches, for coaches – we care about the coaching community and go above & beyond to be a partner in every growth journey, ensuring you’re never left wanting for more.

And that’s not just us saying that; here's what our customers think of us:

"Simply.Coach has quality built within it. It has security built within it. It has confidence built within it. It has ethics built within it. It has a flow that is understandable that is built within it and it has an administration process that doesn't feel like a burden. It is based on interpersonal relationship connectivity, it is based on the flow of growth and personal development. It far outweighs anything that I have ever seen. You have touched the DNA of coaching through this application."

“Simply.Coach has been very useful in helping me get my coaching business started with my first client. It is accessible, fairly easy to use, cost-effective, has a lot of abilities, and is constantly improving. The staff is friendly and helpful and always available to assist with a problem. They also will provide great training on the system when you come on board. Working with Simply.Coach has been really good and I anticipate using it for the foreseeable future as my business grows."

"Simply.Coach supports me, organises my coaching engagements, makes me look professional in front of my clients and supports my clients to keep a track of the progress. It's a must-do for every coach!"

"I loved the Simply.Coach interface. Ram and Chirag explained the different amazing features your product has! Really impressed with the simple but rich design."

"Simply.Coach is a single place to manage your coaching client relationships and stay focused on what will be most helpful to each client. You don't have to wonder where you took those coaching notes in your previous session with a client, or where you kept track of their committed actions. You can even automate nudges to remind clients to do what they committed to."

"Simply.Coach is user friendly, easy to set up, and feature-rich. It helps me manage all my engagements in one place - so much easier than excel docs and email. I am enjoying the platform and support is always quick and extremely helpful."

"A great tool to equip yourself with! Simply.Coach's response to queries and issues has been super quick. It helps in keeping track of the entire coaching engagement in one place and keeping coach-coachee aligned on where we are in the engagement."

"Game changer - I like that the tool is simple enough to intuitively get a hold of the functionality, while capturing all the things that are critical for a coaching business."

Here’s what users missed in Thinkific

(Thinkific Reviews from G2)

“There isn't as much customization as I would have liked to see in an LMS.”
Simply.Coach allows for customization as well as templatization, depending on the requirements of its diverse set of users.

“The cost is NOT friendly for tiny businesses like mine with only 30-50 students per year.”
Thinkific pricing plans leave much to be desired. With Simply.Coach, you can start for as low as $9 a month!

4 Reasons Why Users Prefer Simply.Coach Over Thinkific

Built for Coaches

Simply.Coach is built by coaches and for coaches, and hence captures all the nuances of a coaching engagement. Thinkific is a course delivery system and is primarily built for curating and selling courses.

Scheduling & Availability Setting

With a granular level of scheduling and availability settings, Simply.Coach saves you hours of time spent managing your calendar. Thinkific has no scheduling & availability settings, meaning you have to use a separate scheduling tool for sessions.

Digital Coaching Tools

Activity & exercise sheets and survey forms are being replaced with customizable digital coaching tools. Without these tools, Thinkific falls short on the collaborative aspect of coaching.

Contracting, Invoicing & Payments

Simply.Coach allows you to create, share and store all your contracts in one place. You can also create custom invoices, send them out, send payment reminders, and collect payments online.
