Best Client Onboarding and Forms Tools for Coaches (2026)

What each tool covers

Checked Oct 29, 2026.

Coaching apps with onboarding built in

Trainerize. The free Basic plan covers 1 client. Grow adds custom client programs and a Trainerize.me website profile. Pro adds custom welcome emails, custom consultation forms, and advanced in-app messaging, and Stripe Integrated Payments is an optional add-on on Grow and Pro. Studio Plus adds referral links, prospect booking, personalized onboarding support, and API access. See Trainerize pricing for plan costs.

TrueCoach. Its feature list describes client onboarding by email or text. Plans are priced by active clients: Starter $26.34/mo for 5, Standard $57.99/mo for 20, and Pro $136.99/mo for 50, on annual billing. Standard adds public coach profiles that accept new client leads. TrueCoach says the app is free for your clients.

My PT Hub. Starter is $22.50/mo for 3 clients and Premium is $52/mo for unlimited clients, both on annual billing paid monthly. Premium adds automated client check-ins, scheduled and automated messaging, and group bookings. Check-Ins AI is a $12/mo add-on. See My PT Hub vs TrueCoach for the full plan comparison.

SimplyBook.me: booking and intake forms

SimplyBook.me prices by monthly bookings and staff providers, not by seat:

Intake forms, memberships, gift cards, and point of sale are listed as premium custom features, and they count toward your plan’s custom-feature limit. Basic adds the client app and payments, deposits, and tips. Standard adds a branded client app. Premium adds Payments PRO (refunds, payment links, vaulted cards) and QuickBooks, FreshBooks, and Xero integrations. SimplyBook.me says it charges no transaction fees on bookings or customer payments. Extra bookings are $4 per 100, and SMS credits are $8 per 100. New accounts get a 14-day trial with no credit card.

Use it alongside a coaching app when you want a public booking page for discovery calls or sessions, with a form and deposit collected up front.

HighLevel: forms, funnels, and CRM

HighLevel is an all-in-one marketing platform:

Core features include forms, surveys and quizzes, booking calendars, CRM and pipelines, a website and funnel builder, email and SMS marketing, workflow automation, payments and invoicing, courses, and communities. HighLevel notes that usage-based charges apply to some features, including email and SMS, AI features, and calling. A Branded Client Portal App add-on costs $49/mo per sub-account. Every plan has a 14-day free trial.

It’s built for marketing and sales, not for delivering programs, so most coaches would pair it with a coaching app rather than replace one.

How to choose

• You want everything in one coaching app: compare Trainerize Pro’s consultation forms against My PT Hub Premium’s automated check-ins. See Trainerize alternatives.
• You need a booking page with forms and deposits: start on SimplyBook.me’s Free or Basic plan.
• You’re running ads or funnels to sign clients: HighLevel covers forms, booking, follow-up, and payments in one place, but costs more.
