Looking for a 1Fit alternative?
If you're leaving 1Fit, it's usually because the £40+/mo entry price and the £4-per-extra-client charges stack up as your roster grows — with no permanent free plan to start on. hiignite is a coaching app with a genuinely free tier and a flat $19/mo Pro plan, no per-client and no per-message fees.

Why coaches switch to hiignite
No per-client fees, ever
1Fit charges £4 per extra client per month once you pass your plan cap, so costs climb with every signup. hiignite has zero per-client fees — your price doesn't balloon as your roster grows.
A genuinely free plan, then a flat $19/mo
1Fit only offers a 7-day trial — after that you pay £40/mo minimum. hiignite is $0 forever for up to 2 active clients (2GB storage, 30s/720p video), and Pro is $19/mo or $190/yr with no surprise add-ons to unlock payments.
Keep more of every payout, with a fast modern 1:1 experience
hiignite uses Stripe payouts with a $0 platform fee and no per-message fees, plus a drag-and-drop block builder, real-time 1:1 chat, and form-check video on web, iOS and Android. 1Fit gates integrated payments behind its Growth tier and doesn't publish its platform fee or processor.
Where 1Fit still wins
- Built-in nutrition and macro coaching — barcode scanning, meal/supplement plans, and a 3M+ food database, which hiignite does not offer at all
- Higher and unlimited client capacity (up to 75 on Scale, unlimited on Enterprise) vs hiignite's small per-tier caps
- Set/rep/rest workout logging appears to ship today, whereas this is only on hiignite's roadmap
- Business-growth tooling 1Fit includes: lead-generation forms, team seats, automation integrations (e.g. Zapier), and a performance dashboard
- Established multi-tier product aimed at scaling coaching businesses and teams
What you’ll actually pay
1Fit prices in GBP with no permanent free plan: Basic £40/mo (~$51, up to 10 clients), Growth £60/mo (~$76, adds 1FIT Pay payments), Scale £175/mo (up to 75 clients, team seats + automation integrations), Enterprise £295/mo or £250/mo annually (unlimited clients/seats). Every tier charges £4/extra client/mo above its cap, and a 7-day trial is the only free entry. hiignite is $0 forever for up to 2 active clients, then Pro at $19/mo or $190/yr (up to 10 active clients, extras available) with no per-client fees, no per-message fees, and a $0 Stripe platform fee. 1Fit's payment processor and platform fee are not published.
Questions, answered.
Yes, if your priority is predictable cost and a clean 1:1 coaching experience. hiignite has a free-forever tier, a flat $19/mo Pro plan, no per-client or per-message fees, and a $0 Stripe platform fee. It's a weaker fit if you need built-in nutrition/macro coaching or to manage 50+ clients — those are areas where 1Fit is stronger today.
Two things: pricing model and nutrition. 1Fit starts at £40/mo and adds £4 per extra client, and it includes full nutrition/macro coaching. hiignite has no per-client fees and a real free tier, but does not offer nutrition or macro tracking.
No. 1Fit offers a 7-day free trial only — after that a paid plan starting at £40/mo is required. hiignite offers a permanently free tier for up to 2 active clients.
