CoachAccountable

CoachAccountable is one of the leading online coaching platforms, enabling coaches to sell and deliver their programs online in one place.

The company was founded in 2012 and has attracted thousands of users on the platform and simplified the way they provide coaching programs.

It’s one of our top 10 online coaching platforms and through this review we’ll make note on how CoachAccountable compares to other competitors.

Starting with a thorough feature breakdown!

There are a few things online coaches need to run their program and, as mentioned, CoachAccountable promises to deliver all of these.

Let’s take a look at a quick overview of what the platform offers:

This is not an exhaustive list but should show you to what extent CoachAccountable delivers on its promise!

If we compare to other similar platforms, we can say that this is a feature loaded software and stands out.

Now let’s see exactly how each of these features work and perform:

Client Management

Managing your client in CoachAccountable is fairly simple.

You’ll first invite your client to the platform, which you can do through the Agreement & Contract tool.

From there you can set up an Engagement for them and specify the parameters of your coaching program with them.

You can send invoices directly from there and let them in a self-paced course to get them started with some content.

CoachAccountable has its own built-in appointment scheduler system that can easily replace any 3rd party tool.

You can create several Appointment Types and set up advanced rules of availability, as well as synching your calendar.

This isn’t a feature that some competitors allow for so very much worth noting!

You can also email clients directly from the platform and add a Company profile with multiple employees in it for easier management.

Coaching Programs Tools

Beyond scheduling sessions, an important part of a coaching program is the ability to set a set of actions in time.

In CoachAccountable you can achieve this with Courses and the great builder at your disposal.

You can add Actions, Worksheets, Files, Whiteboards and automate the way these will be dripped to your coaching clients:

This feature is very well thought out and really stands out with some of the platform’s competitors.

Especially with the ability to host videos directly on CoachAccountable (within certain storage limits).

This is a great way to automate your coaching programs and an easy way to keep track of your client progress through the many analytics tools the platform offers.

Note that this is also possible to do for Group Coaching and not just individual clients:

After creating a group and assigning people into it, you’ll be able to build your program timeline with an easy drag and drop builder.

You also have the ability to assign some actions to only a subset of your group!

One last feature to highlight that’s unique to CoachAccountable is the ability to set a Directory from your Group Coaching clients, to better enable them to connect with each other.

Payment/Invoicing

And of course, another way platforms like CoachAccountable can make your life easier is by helping you create invoices and get paid.

The built-in invoicing tool will allow you to create and manage these in a few clicks:

You can integrate Stripe, Paypal and Square for online payments.

Of course you can also take payments differently and mark the invoice as paid. The platform will also send a receipt after purchase to your client.

Alternatively, you can create Offerings, which are essentially bundles of whatever product you want to include in your offer.

A variety of reports are available to keep track of certain payment metrics.

You can also schedule invoices for several months ahead for example and have them being paid automatically if your client’s credit card is on file.

Other Features

Let’s highlight other features that make the platform stand out and could be a deal maker for you!

1. Whiteboards: these are sort of digital boards where you can take notes and build something very visual for you or your client.

These can be great to go beyond the step-by-step, everyday business and build a vision board for your client to keep an eye on the big picture!

2. Branded desktop app: You can adjust the branding throughout the platform to make it your own and remove any trace of the CoachAccountable branding.

Despite the exceptional depth of features CoachAccountable offers, the user experience really feels sleek and refreshing.

It’s very intuitive to create anything and the platform allows for great customization which should leave perfectionists satisfied.

On top of that the platform is very fast and reliable.

This is a big breath of fresh air in comparison to some other competitors that look and feel a lot more busy and complicated.

On the client portal side of things we find the same easy to understand user experience:

Everything is clear and easy to follow, which should save you some time in educating your coaching client on how to use the platform and follow the program.

CoachAccountable is on the pricier side of the spectrum.

As for almost every coaching platform, pricing will depend on how many clients you have on the platform.

You can get started with a 30 days free trial, without the need to put down a credit card.

Every plan offers the full stack of features CoachAccountable has to offer!

One good thing to notice is that pricing won’t change whether you’re working as a single coach or as a team of coaches.

Getting stuck with something technical can be frustrating, especially when starting to use a new platform!

CoachAccountable has a range of solutions to help you learn the platform and troubleshoot an issue.

From manuals and webinars to helpful help articles:

If that’s not enough you can also create a ticket which is answered within 24 hours.

Beyond that, CoachAccountable unfortunately doesn’t have a private user forum or facebook group to connect with fellow users.
