Looking for a Hexfit alternative?
If you coach 1:1 clients online, Hexfit's nutritionist/kinesiologist-grade toolset (assessments, scheduling, billing, multi-professional org accounts) can feel heavy. Its pricing is layered too: a cheap $19/mo Pro tier capped at 2 clients, unlimited-client plans from ~$59/mo, and ~$20/mo add-on groups. hiignite is a focused coaching app for personal trainers — drag-and-drop programming, real-time form-check and chat, live progress tracking and Stripe payouts — with a genuinely free tier ($0 forever, 2 clients) and a flat $19/mo Pro (10 clients), no per-client or per-message fees.
hiignite vs Hexfit
Hexfit is powerful but clinical and broad: there's no free tier (trial only), its cheapest $19/mo Pro plan caps you at just 2 clients, and unlimited-client plans run roughly $59-89/mo, with extra professionals (+$30-38/mo each) and some features stacking via ~$20/mo add-on groups — more platform than a solo trainer who just wants to write programs, check form and message clients usually needs.
| Feature | hiignite | Hexfit |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Yes — $0, up to 2 clients | No free tier — free trial only (no credit card, no commitment) |
| Entry paid price | $19/mo ($190/yr), up to 10 clients | From ~$19/mo (Pro, up to 2 clients; price scales by client bracket). Unlimited-client plans: Basic ~$59/mo, Essential ~$89/mo. Add-on groups ~$20/mo; +$30-38/mo per extra professional. Annual discounts; students 50% off |
| Per-client fees | No | Mixed: Basic & Essential include unlimited clients, but the cheaper Pro tier is priced by client-count brackets (2 / 5 / 10 / 20 / unlimited), from ~$19/mo for up to 2 clients |
| Per-message fees | No | No per-message fees — messaging included on all plans |
| Program builder + templates | Yes | Yes — program creation with periodization/progression and a large exercise-video library; reusable templates |
| Form-check video | Yes | Not stated — has an exercise demo-video library, but client form-check video review is not clearly documented |
| Real-time chat | Yes | In-app messaging included on all plans; real-time 1:1 chat not explicitly documented |

| Web + iOS + Android | Yes | Web dashboard for coaches/professionals + iOS & Android client app |
| Custom branding | Yes — in-app logo, colors & invites | Logo/color customization via the 'custom application' on the Pro tier, or as a ~$20/mo Custom application add-on |
| Nutrition coaching | No — not on the roadmap | Yes — nutrition module (meal plans, food diary, dietary analysis) on Essential+ or as a ~$20/mo add-on; reviewers describe it as functional but secondary/basic vs dedicated nutrition tools |
| White-label native app | No — in-app branding only | Unclear — offers a logo/color 'custom application' (Pro tier or ~$20/mo add-on), but a store-published native white-label app under the coach's own brand is not clearly documented |

Why coaches switch to hiignite
Start free, then get more clients per dollar
hiignite has a $0-forever free tier (up to 2 active clients) — Hexfit has no free tier, only a trial. And at the same $19/mo, hiignite's Pro covers up to 10 active clients (extras available) while Hexfit's $19/mo Pro caps you at 2 before the price climbs by client bracket. For a solo or growing online coach, you can test on real clients for free and scale without a step-change in price.
One flat price, no add-on stacking or per-pro fees
hiignite bundles its drag-and-drop program builder, form-check video, real-time chat, live progress tracking and in-app branding into one $19/mo Pro price, with no per-client fees and no per-message fees. Hexfit layers cost: feature groups (nutrition, billing, appointments, custom app) can run ~$20/mo each on lower tiers, and each additional professional adds ~$30-38/mo. Predictable beats à-la-carte for a small team.
Built for fast 1:1 online coaching, not clinical paperwork
hiignite is mobile-first: a quick drag-and-drop block builder with reusable templates, real-time 1:1 chat, form-check video and live progress tracking across web, iOS and Android. Hexfit is broader and more clinical (assessments, healthcare workflows, scheduling, kinesiology/nutrition tooling) — great if you need that, heavier than necessary if you just want to program, message and coach.
Where Hexfit still wins
- Built-in nutrition: a dedicated module with meal plans, food diary and dietary analysis (Essential+ or ~$20/mo add-on) — hiignite has no nutrition/macro coaching at all
- Unlimited clients on its Basic/Essential plans (one seat, no per-client brackets) — vs hiignite's 2 (Free) / 10 (Pro, extras available) active-client limits
- Business operations: appointment/reservation scheduling, automated billing and multi-professional/organization accounts for clinics and studios
- Wearables and assessments: smartwatch data collection plus richer clinical assessment and progression analytics
- Custom-branded client app: a logo/color 'custom application' that goes a bit further than hiignite's in-app branding (though a store-published native white-label app isn't clearly documented)
- Track record and reach: an established Canadian/French-origin platform used by trainers, kinesiologists and nutritionists across Canada and the EU, bilingual EN/FR
What you’ll actually pay
hiignite and Hexfit actually share the same $19/mo entry price — but you get very different things for it. hiignite: Free ($0 forever, up to 2 active clients, 2GB storage, 30s/720p video) and Pro at $19/mo or $190/yr (up to 10 active clients with extras available, 25GB, 120s/1080p video), with no per-client fees, no per-message fees, and a $0 platform fee on Stripe payouts. Hexfit has no free tier (trial only); its $19/mo Pro tier is feature-rich but caps at 2 clients and scales upward by client bracket (5 / 10 / 20 / unlimited), while its unlimited-client plans — Basic (~$59/mo) and Essential (~$89/mo, adds nutrition and group tracking) — are the route to no client cap. On top of that, à-la-carte feature groups (nutrition, billing, appointments, custom app) run about $20/mo each on lower tiers, and additional professionals add roughly $30-38/mo each. Net: hiignite wins on the free tier and on clients-per-dollar ($19 = 10 clients vs Hexfit's $19 = 2), plus flat predictable pricing; Hexfit wins if you need unlimited clients on a single Basic/Essential seat or its full clinical/nutrition/scheduling stack.
Questions, answered.
Yes — if you're a personal trainer focused on 1:1 online coaching rather than clinical or nutrition workflows. hiignite gives you a fast program builder, form-check video, real-time chat and Stripe payouts with a $0-forever free tier and a flat $19/mo Pro, no per-client or per-message fees. Choose Hexfit instead if you specifically need a built-in nutrition module, appointment scheduling and billing, multi-professional org accounts, or unlimited clients on a single Basic/Essential seat.
No. Hexfit includes a nutrition module (meal plans, food diary, dietary analysis), though reviewers call it a secondary, fairly basic feature. hiignite does not offer built-in nutrition or macro coaching, and it isn't on the roadmap — it focuses on training: programming, form-check, chat and progress tracking. If meal planning is core to your service, Hexfit is the stronger fit.
hiignite: Free ($0 forever, up to 2 active clients) or Pro at $19/mo ($190/yr), with no per-client fees, no per-message fees, and a $0 platform fee on Stripe payouts. Hexfit: no free tier (trial only); its Pro plan starts around $19/mo but caps at 2 clients and scales by client bracket, while unlimited-client plans run roughly $59/mo (Basic) to $89/mo (Essential), with feature add-on groups around $20/mo each and extra professionals billed separately. Same $19 entry, but hiignite's includes 10 clients vs Hexfit's 2.
