The Coach Catalyst alternative for coaches who've outgrown habit-only coaching
Coach Catalyst is excellent at habit and accountability coaching. LVLUP keeps that check-in muscle and adds a fully branded native app, deeper programming, built-in nutrition, and flat pricing with 0% commission.
Why coaches switch from Coach Catalyst to LVLUP
Coach Catalyst is a habit-first accountability platform: yes-or-no habit tracking, compliance calendars, done-for-you challenges and a lessons library, priced by client-count tier with a branded app available as an optional add-on. LVLUP is built the other way round. Every coach gets a fully branded native iOS + Android app on the Pro plan, with habit and metric tracking, structured check-ins, a 1,000+ exercise library, nutrition planning and package sales included, at a flat price that does not rise with your roster, and 0% commission on sales.
Your accountability system survives the switch
Habit and metric tracking, structured check-ins, and in-app messaging are core LVLUP features, not bolt-ons. The workflow that made Coach Catalyst work for you transfers cleanly.
A branded app that is included, not an add-on
The Pro plan includes your fully branded native app under your own name in the App Store and Google Play. We handle submission; most coaches are live in about 20 days.
The programming depth you were missing
A 1,000+ exercise library with video, a full program builder, and built-in nutrition planning with macros, alongside the habit coaching you already run.
Flat pricing with 0% commission
Unlimited clients on every plan and no commission on packages or subscriptions. Growing your roster grows your margin, not your software bill.
LVLUP vs Coach Catalyst — feature by feature
LVLUP starts at $48/month with a 14-day free trial; the Pro plan ($78/month) includes your fully branded iOS + Android app and unlimited clients. Coach Catalyst prices by client-count tier and offers its branded app as an optional add-on, so compare the total at your 12-month roster target, not at today's client count.
