Got questions? Allow us to assist you.
upcoach lets course creators and coaches build and manage coaching programs with courses, chat, meetings, and tasks. While the platform has basic features like scheduling, payment collection, it fails to meet the nuanced requirements of service professionals in running entire businesses digitally.
According to reviews, it also has fairly lax privacy and security compliances, claiming to use user data without restriction and compensation – making users feel insecure about their and their clients’ data.
It has some key features missing such as Outlook, Zoom calendar integration, detailed coaching tools, landing page creation for getting leads, mobile app and stakeholder integration, customisable program templates, and more. Customers are also frustrated with upcoachs’s customer support response.
Simply.Coach, on the other hand, provides features and tools that address the end-to-end requirements of coaches, from creating contracts to report creation, digital coaching tools, stakeholder integration, multiple calendar integrations, nudges for habit formation, nuanced scheduling and even a coaching log. Its business-focussed functionalities, such as contact management, e-signable custom contracts, landing page creation and more also make it stand out.

Simply.Coach also brings more value, with pricing plans beginning at $9 per month when billed annually, versus upcoach’s plans that start at $29 per month when billed annually.
With Simply.Coach, you not only pay less for more features, you also get an end-to-end solution for your business that stays with you as you scale and:

Here’s what users missed in upcoach, based on upcoach reviews:
"Wish I had never signed up - There's a ton of basic functionality that just isn't there, (like the ability to view or edit past meeting agendas, keep notes of client sessions, take payments, copy parts of a course without glitches and bugs...) I was constantly messaging their support reporting bugs and asking for help.”
"Support- they also pride themselves on offering zoom calls with the owner (their line: noone in the industry does it - hmmm... ok) - but if you live in Europe, these calls are at 11pm, which is definitely not the time most people are willing to go on a zoom call... watching recordings is their solution... but maybe i want to ask questions? Oh well."
"I have no desire to simply transfer my material without restriction and without compensation to a company as it is written in the "Terms of Service". What scares me even more is that even sensitive data I receive from my clients is not protected. Basically, upcoach could use all the material without me knowing that they are doing it and secondly, I would have no way to stop them. It is not possible to protect my clients' data in this way. "
"automations - poor selection - only 4 triggers and basically one action - email+ delay.. or add to convertkit (not an option to us), cannot change automation's name, once it's been chosen."

3 Reasons why users prefer Simply.Coach over upcoach:
A more robust range of features

Users missed that upcoach did not include sophisticated calendar and scheduling system, an outlook calendar and zoom integration, in-depth customizable workflows, customisable landing page, and e-signing contracts, amongst others. Simply.Coach offers a greater number and greater depth of features.

The price

Simply.Coach pricing starts at $9 per month (when billed annually) as compared to upcoach’s $29 per month (when billed annually too)

The accessibility

Users missed having a comprehensive multi-device app. Simply.Coach, in addition to being a cloud-based web app like upcoach, is available as an app to use on desktop, mobile through mobile app, and iPad.
