Evidence-led comparison
Both platforms combine core online coaching tools with business features. The practical choice is whether Kahunas’ lower entry price and branded-app path matter most, or whether you want CoachOS to connect your website, funnel, booking and lead pipeline directly to delivery.
Side by side
Every competitor statement below points to an official source. “Unknown” means the reviewed pages did not provide enough evidence; it does not mean the feature is absent.

|---|---|---|
| Starting subscription Public monthly entry point; currencies are not converted. | Included Starter is £59/month for up to 10 active clients. Checkout shows the current free-trial terms. 1 | Included Essentials is listed at $35/month for up to 25 clients. Kahunas also lists annual billing at $315. 9 |
| Website, funnel and Link in Bio Public acquisition pages rather than the logged-in coaching app. | Included Paid plans include a responsive coaching website, VSL funnel, Link in Bio, forms and booking pages. 13 | Unknown The reviewed Kahunas platform and pricing pages describe lead-generation forms, but do not provide enough evidence for a general website, VSL funnel or Link in Bio builder. 89 |
| Lead forms and automation Capturing and following up with prospects. | Included Public forms feed a staged lead pipeline with source context, supported offers and conversion to onboarding. 32 | Included Growth lists lead-generation forms and automations; Essentials does not list those features. 89 |
| Prospect booking A public path for a lead to choose an available time. | Included CoachOS includes public booking pages, configured availability, questions and a booking linked to the lead journey. 3 | Partial Kahunas lists a calendar for events, goals and appointments. The reviewed pages do not clarify the complete public prospect-booking and lead-attribution flow. 8 |
| Workouts, nutrition and check-ins The core recurring online-coaching workflow. | Included Workout programming, nutrition plans, recurring check-ins, goals and progress context are included in the coaching workspace. 45 | Included Essentials lists workout and nutrition plans, templates, an exercise library, food data, custom check-in forms and habit tracking. 9 |

| Wearable and health integrations Availability varies by provider, device and data type. | Partial Apple Health and Health Connect are live. Compatible providers may contribute through those hubs; WHOOP remains limited while production access is reviewed. 6 | Partial Kahunas advertises wearable synchronisation into check-in forms, but the reviewed pages do not enumerate supported providers, devices or data boundaries. 8 |
| Coach-branded app-store listing A mobile app published under the coach or business brand. | Unsupported Clients use the CoachOS-branded iOS and Android apps. A coach-owned app-store listing is not a current public CoachOS capability. 5 | Included Ultimate lists branded iOS and Android apps with the coach’s own app-store listings.

A fair decision
Choose Kahunas if…
Choose CoachOS if…
Fit by stage
Kahunas publishes the lower entry price and a larger entry client allowance. CoachOS costs more at entry because Starter also includes the website, funnel, booking and lead workflow.
Both cover core delivery. Kahunas is compelling for a coaching-first bundle; CoachOS is compelling when acquisition, sales and delivery should share the same system and context.
Kahunas Ultimate lists unlimited clients and coach-owned app-store listings. CoachOS Team instead provides a shared CoachOS-branded client app, explicit coach seats and a 500-active-client shared capacity.
Switch carefully
CoachOS can assess eligible data and an assisted path. Scope, responsibility and timing are agreed case by case; not every historical field or external tool can be imported automatically.
Discuss your migrationList active clients, programme templates, exercises, nutrition resources, check-ins, messages, files, payments and future appointments.
Agree which eligible data can be assisted into CoachOS and which history should remain as a read-only archive.
Move a small representative client group, validate programmes, nutrition and communication, then collect coach and client feedback.
Set a date, tell clients what changes, verify new logins and active plans, and keep a rollback record.
Comparison questions
No at the published entry level. Kahunas Essentials is listed at $35/month for up to 25 clients, while CoachOS Starter is £59/month for up to 10 active clients. CoachOS Starter includes website, funnel, Link in Bio, forms, booking and lead-pipeline tools, so compare the complete stack you would otherwise buy. USD and GBP prices are not directly equivalent without current exchange rates and taxes.
No. CoachOS clients use the CoachOS-branded iOS and Android apps. Kahunas lists coach-branded iOS and Android apps with own app-store listings on Ultimate, subject to the required developer accounts and publishing process.
