Looking for a HubFit alternative?
If you're a solo or small-roster coach, HubFit's all-in-one bundle can feel like paying for a 50-client business before you have one — and there's no free tier, just a 14-day trial. hiignite is a focused, modern 1:1 coaching app: a genuinely free plan, $19/mo Pro, and no per-client or per-message fees.
hiignite vs HubFit
HubFit is a feature-packed all-in-one platform, but there's no free tier — just a 14-day trial — and its entry plan is $39/mo sized for up to 50 clients, with branding, payments and community gated to its $69+ tiers. That's a lot to pay and learn if you only coach a handful of clients 1:1.

Why coaches switch to hiignite
Start free, not on a trial clock
HubFit has no free tier — just a 14-day trial, then $39/mo for a plan sized to 50 clients. hiignite's free plan is $0 forever for up to 2 active clients, so you can run real 1:1 coaching before paying, then move to Pro at $19/mo.
No per-client or per-message fees, and $0 Stripe platform fee
hiignite never charges per active client or per message, and takes a $0 platform fee on Stripe payouts — you keep your revenue minus Stripe's own processing. HubFit's price scales by client-count tiers, and whether it adds a platform fee on top of Stripe isn't disclosed.
Fast, focused 1:1 coaching UX
hiignite is built around the core 1:1 loop: a drag-and-drop block builder with reusable templates, real-time 1:1 chat, form-check video and live progress tracking on web, iOS and Android — without the community/nutrition/automation surface area you pay for in HubFit but may never use.
Where HubFit still wins
- Built-in nutrition and macro coaching with a Smart Meal Planner, recipe library and Meal AI — hiignite has no nutrition/macro coaching at all
- A true white-label native app published to the App Store and Google Play under the coach's own brand — hiignite only offers in-app custom branding, not a published native app
- Handles far larger rosters (50 to 500+ clients) where hiignite Pro tops out around 10 active clients
- Engagement and retention tooling hiignite lacks: community feed, challenges with leaderboards, habit tracking and broadcast messages
- Much broader integrations — Stripe, Apple Health, Garmin, Fitbit, Whoop, Oura, Polar and 5,000+ Zapier apps (Zapier on the Ultimate tier)
- Larger track record and social proof: HubFit markets 50,000+ coaches and a 4.9 App Store rating
What you’ll actually pay
HubFit has no free tier — only a 14-day trial — and its entry Standard plan is $39/mo ($33/mo annual) for up to 50 clients, with Premium at $69/mo ($57/mo annual, adds custom branding, Smart Meal Planner and payments) and Ultimate scaling from $119/mo to $419/mo for 500 clients. hiignite is cheaper at the small end: $0 forever for up to 2 active clients, then $19/mo or $190/yr for Pro (up to 10 active clients, extras available). hiignite charges no per-client or per-message fees and takes a $0 platform fee on Stripe payouts; HubFit's pricing scales by client-count tier and does not publicly state whether it adds a platform fee on top of Stripe.
Questions, answered.
Yes, if you're a solo or small-roster coach who wants a fast 1:1 experience without big monthly fees. hiignite is free for up to 2 active clients and $19/mo for Pro (up to 10), with no per-client or per-message fees and a $0 Stripe platform fee. It is not a good fit if you need built-in nutrition/macro coaching, a published white-label native app, or to manage 50+ clients — those are areas where HubFit is stronger.
