Is Phaserr a full replacement for TrueCoach?

Not for everything. TrueCoach also covers habit coaching, nutrition delivery, video form review, and client billing — Phaserr doesn't try to. If the core of your coaching is periodized strength programming, Phaserr replaces the programming side and goes much deeper on it.

Does TrueCoach support %1RM or RPE-based programming?

Not natively. TrueCoach can log a 1RM as a tracked metric, but nothing prescribes from it — there are no percentage-of-1RM prescriptions and no RPE prescription fields; loads are absolute weights per exercise, and cycles are built by copying weeks. That gap is the main reason strength coaches look for an alternative.

How much does Phaserr cost compared to TrueCoach?

Phaserr is free. TrueCoach has no free tier: Starter is $29.98/mo for up to 5 active clients, Standard $69.98/mo for 20, Pro $164.98/mo for 50, with custom pricing above that — plus a flat 5% platform fee on payments processed through the platform since January 2026.

Can I move my TrueCoach clients to Phaserr?

There is no automated importer. In practice you rebuild your program structure as blocks (the AI assistant speeds this up), enter each athlete's current maxes, and invite them to log in Phaserr — most coaches migrate a roster over a week of sessions.

Alternatives

A TrueCoach alternative with periodization built in

TrueCoach is one of the most polished remote-coaching platforms around — easy to use, great client engagement, and a workout builder coaches genuinely like. But that builder is a free-form list: multi-week cycles are made by copying weeks and editing them by hand, and there are no percentage or RPE tools at all.

Phaserr starts where TrueCoach stops: block periodization is the core object, loads are prescribed as %1RM or RPE and computed from each athlete's 1RM history, and every logged set feeds the next session's working weights.

What TrueCoach does well

TrueCoach by Xplor is a mature remote personal-training platform rated 4.8/5 on Capterra across ~830 reviews. It shines at the coaching relationship: a 3,500+ exercise video library, async video form review, in-app messaging, habit coaching, compliance dashboards at 7/30/90 days, wearable integrations (Apple Health, Garmin, WHOOP, OURA), a MyFitnessPal integration, and integrated Stripe payments.

Phaserr vs TrueCoach at a glance

	Phaserr	TrueCoach
Built for	Strength and S&C coaches writing periodized programs (powerlifting, weightlifting, combat, team sport).	Personal trainers and online coaches of all kinds — general fitness, CrossFit, nutrition coaching, rehab professionals.
Program building	Block periodization is the core object: plan the macrocycle, phase the blocks, build sessions inside them — with an AI assistant that understands periodization.	Free-form drag-and-drop workout builder with templates; multi-week cycles are built by copying whole weeks and editing them by hand.
Loading methods	Percent-based and RPE-based prescriptions built in. A dated 1RM history feeds percentage loads automatically — a new max updates tomorrow's working sets.	Loads are entered as absolute weights per exercise. A 1RM can be logged as a tracked metric, but nothing prescribes from it — no percentage-of-1RM loading and no RPE/RIR prescription fields.
Logging & progress	Set-by-set actuals, AMRAPs and test days captured; logging feeds directly into the next session's loads.	Reps, weights, and heart rate logged in-app; async video form review; compliance rates at 7, 30, and 90 days; wearable data from Apple Health, Garmin, WHOOP, and OURA.
Nutrition & habits	Not a focus — Phaserr stays a training-programming tool.	Habit coaching built in; MyFitnessPal integration for macro tracking; meal plans deliverable as documents.
Payments & business	None — Phaserr is a programming tool, not a billing platform.	Stripe-based recurring payments (US, UK, Canada, Australia) with a flat 5% platform fee per transaction since January 2026, on top of Stripe's own fees.
Pricing	Free.	No free tier; 14-day trial. By active clients: Starter $29.98/mo (5), Standard $69.98/mo (20), Pro $164.98/mo (50), custom above that. Annual billing is discounted.

Which one is for you

Choose TrueCoach if…

Your coaching leans on engagement — messaging, video form review, habits — more than on structured loading.
You bill clients through the platform and want payments, docs, and delivery in one place.
Your programming is general fitness where absolute weights per exercise are enough.

Choose Phaserr if…

You write periodized blocks and are tired of rebuilding them by copy-pasting weeks.
You prescribe %1RM or RPE and currently keep the actual math in spreadsheets next to TrueCoach.
You want a new tested max to update every downstream working weight automatically.

Moving from TrueCoach to Phaserr

There is no importer between the platforms, but the part TrueCoach doesn't model — your periodization — is exactly what you'd be re-entering anyway, so the move is a few evenings of structured setup.

Open your current TrueCoach programs and write down the cycle behind the copied weeks: phases, weekly split, and how you progress loads.
Rebuild that structure in Phaserr as blocks — the AI assistant drafts mesocycles from your split and goals, and you adjust from there.
Enter each athlete's current maxes (or a recent AMRAP result) so percentage-based prescriptions compute working weights automatically.
Invite your athletes and start logging — from the first session, actuals feed the loads Phaserr suggests next.
