What changes when you move off PTminder
PTminder (part of Xplor) is an established, full-featured platform for in-person trainers and small studios: bookings, classes, packages, memberships, a workout planner with 1,200+ exercise videos, a nutrition planner, and card or direct-debit payments. The main differences are commercial and structural: PTminder's price climbs with your active client count, while PT Suite charges one flat price with unlimited clients and adds a full branded website builder and on-demand video sales.
Useful when you need a quick sense of whether you are comparing against a narrow point tool or a heavier platform category.
Stay on PTminder if you rely on its nutrition planner or GoCardless direct debit and your client count sits comfortably inside one tier. Choose PT Suite if you want one flat price as you grow, a real branded website, and the option to sell online content alongside in-person sessions.

PT Suite vs PTminder: frequently asked questions
- How much does PTminder cost?
- PTminder publishes five tiers based on active clients: $59/month for up to 50, $89 for 51-100, $119 for 101-150, $149 for 151-200, and $209/month for 200+ (annual billing saves 10%). Every feature is included on every tier; the branded mobile app is a $40/month add-on (annual discounts available) and SMS is billed per message. Inactive clients do not count towards the tier (note Lead-status clients DO count — archive them to stay in-tier). PT Suite is a flat £29/month ($39 in the US) on Solo with unlimited clients.
- What's the best PTminder alternative?
- For in-person trainers who want to keep bookings, packages, and memberships but pay a flat price, PT Suite is the closest like-for-like alternative: it covers the same core workflow and adds a no-code branded website, AI session planning, and on-demand video sales on the Studio plan. My PT Hub is a cheaper option if nutrition tracking matters most. Trainerize suits online-first coaches who want a client app with deep nutrition. The right pick depends on whether your price pain is client-count tiers (PT Suite), nutrition (My PT Hub, Trainerize), or programming depth (TrueCoach).
- How do I move my clients from PTminder to PT Suite?
- In PTminder, go to Reports > General and run the Client List report with the fields you need, then export it as CSV or Excel. Run the Packages & Memberships report too so you have each client's remaining credits. Start a PT Suite trial, open Onboarding > Import clients, choose PTminder, and upload the file; the PT Suite team loads it for you, and full migration is done free on every plan. Keep PTminder running in parallel until your clients have rebooked.
- Will my clients have to re-enter their card details?
- Usually yes, for recurring card payments. PTminder connects to your own Stripe account and PT Suite creates its own connected Stripe account, so saved cards and live subscriptions do not transfer automatically. Your Stripe payment history stays in your existing Stripe dashboard. The cleanest approach is to set up each client's package or membership in PT Suite, send them the booking link, and let them add a card at their next payment date, then cancel the matching PTminder recurring payment.
- Does PTminder include a website?
- PTminder gives clients an online portal and booking pages where they can view your schedule, book, and pay, but it is not a full no-code website builder. Most PTminder trainers run a separate site on Squarespace, Wix, or WordPress and link to the booking portal. PT Suite includes a branded website with your own domain, service pages, pricing, timetable, and checkout in one place.
- Is PTminder good for growing personal trainers?
- PTminder is solid software, and every feature is on every plan. The catch for a growing trainer is the pricing model: crossing 50, 100, 150, and 200 active clients each moves you up a tier, so a business going from 45 to 120 clients goes from $59 to $119/month. If you expect your client list to grow, a flat-price platform like PT Suite removes that variable cost entirely.
