Simply.Coach is an established client engagement platform for coaches and coaching teams: goals, forms, assessments, and digital agreements. Slide Practice is the system of record for a one-to-one practice, whether you coach, consult, tutor, train, or work in nutrition, and it is built around one job: the session, and everything that should happen after it. Here is a fair look at where each one leads.

Simply.Coach is a structured client engagement platform. It gives you a place to set goals, send forms and assessments, handle digital agreements, run programs, and watch client progress on dashboards. It also supports coaching teams and associate coaches, which most tools for a single practitioner do not. It has been around long enough to build a deep library of templates and workflows, and that maturity shows.
Slide Practice is narrower on purpose, and it is not a coaching only tool. It is the system of record for any one-to-one practice: coaches, consultants, tutors, trainers, and nutritionists all run on it. The one thing it is built around is the session recap. Record or upload a session, and Slide Practice drafts the recap, the action items, and a follow up email in about a minute, in your practice's language. You review it, edit anything you want, and it is delivered to your client through a private portal. From there the commitments and goals are tracked across sessions, so you can see what your work is changing, and recorded sessions build an ICF coaching hours log for the coaches who need one. Around that it adds booking on one shared link, sliding scale rates, identity verification, and a public profile in the Slide Practice directory. It is live and new, so it does not match a mature platform feature for feature.
This is a fair comparison, so it is worth being clear about where Simply.Coach leads today.
Slide Practice is not trying to be a bigger platform. It is trying to remove the most tedious part of the week, and to make you findable and trustworthy to people who have never met you.
A fair table names strengths on both sides. This one does, and Slide Practice does not win every row.

Everything on this page about Simply.Coach was last checked in July 2026, from its public site. Prices and features move, so read Simply.Coach's own pricing page before you decide.
Neither Slide Practice nor Simply.Coach is a payment processor, so in both cases you collect payments your own way, with PayPal or something similar. The difference is what happens around the session: Slide Practice writes it up, delivers it, keeps the record, verifies you, and lists you. Simply.Coach gives you a deeper set of structured engagement tools and supports a team.
Slide Practice is live. Founding access is open now. The founding group is capped at 30 practitioners, who get Pro at $19 a month for their first 12 months, then $29.99. It is built and run by a small team based in Manila, who come from a business and software background, not from a one-to-one practice. That shapes the honest pitch: it is early, it is focused, and it will not serve a team.
Slide Practice is a flat monthly price. Every new practitioner starts with a 7-day Pro trial, no card. When the trial ends you choose a paid plan: Starter at $14.99 a month, Pro at $29.99 a month (the best value tier), or Max at $49.99 a month. Founding practitioners keep Pro at $19 a month for their first 12 months. Recording a session with Auto Join is $1.99 per session, and extra recaps beyond your plan are $0.99 each. There is no Team plan, and Slide takes no commission, ever, on any plan. Subscriptions are billed through Paddle, our merchant of record, and Slide never touches the money your clients pay you. Every plan is for one practitioner, because there is no team plan. We do not quote Simply.Coach's exact prices here, because they change and we would rather not get them wrong. You can see the full pricing in one place.
Pick Simply.Coach if structured goals, forms, and digital agreements sit at the center of how you work, if you value a proven platform with a long track record, or if you have or plan to add associate coaches. Slide Practice has no team plan and will not serve a team.
Look at Slide Practice if you work with one person at a time, in any field, and the recap and follow up are your biggest time sink. It drafts them for you, delivers them to a private portal, keeps the commitments and goals as a record you can show, verifies who you are, and lists you where new clients look, with booking and sliding scale rates around it. Just know it is new, live, and lighter on structured engagement tooling than Simply.Coach. If you decide to switch, there is a guide on moving from Simply.Coach.
It depends on what you need. If you want structured client engagement with goals, forms, digital agreements, and dashboards, and you may add associate coaches later, Simply.Coach is the more established and more complete choice. If the job you most want done is writing your session recap and follow up, and being findable and verified to people who have not met you, Slide Practice is built around that and stays simpler.
Slide takes no commission, ever, on any plan. Simply.Coach is a software subscription rather than a percentage fee on your work, but you should confirm its current terms directly. Neither tool is a payment processor, so in both cases you collect payments your own way for now.
No, and it is not trying to. Simply.Coach has years of work in structured engagement tooling and team features that Slide Practice does not match. Slide Practice covers booking, a private client portal, sliding scale rates, identity verification, and a public profile, and it adds AI session recaps that draft your summary, action items, and follow up, then keep the commitments and goals across sessions. If you rely heavily on detailed forms and agreement workflows, Simply.Coach is stronger there today.
No. One account is one practitioner. Every new practitioner starts with a 7-day Pro trial, no card, and there is nothing free after it. When the trial ends you choose a paid plan: Starter at $14.99 a month, Pro at $29.99 a month, or Max at $49.99 a month, each for a single practitioner. If you run a coaching team or use associate coaches, Simply.Coach is the better fit.
No. Slide Practice is the system of record for any one-to-one practice: coaches, consultants, tutors, trainers, nutritionists, and anyone else who sits with one person at a time. Simply.Coach is aimed at coaching. The ICF coaching hours log in Slide Practice is there for the coaches who need it, and nothing else in the product assumes you are one.
