Your client is working on setting boundaries. A few days after your session, your client says no to an extra project for the first time, and that same day writes down what happened, right in the method. You can read it and respond.

  • Captured while the experience is still fresh
  • Linked to the method

“My heart was pounding” easily becomes “it went fine” three weeks later.

Said no to the extra project this morning, for the first time. My heart was pounding, but I stayed calm and explained why. It felt assertive, not rude.

How a coaching client portal works

“
I had coaching myself. Valuable conversations, but most of what was said has faded. That’s why I built FocusCoachee: so that what emerges in a session stays.

Sebastiaan, lifecoach & founder of FocusCoachee

Not built by a software company, but by a coach who knew exactly what was missing. From daily practice, for every coach who wants to be truly present.

FocusCoachee has one free plan and two paid plans with a flat monthly price. You never pay per session or per client inside your plan.

Best coaching software for life coaches

What is coaching software?

Coaching software is a digital workspace where a coach manages clients, sessions and goals, and where the client can follow their own progress between sessions. It replaces the mix of notes, spreadsheets, email and calendar links that most coaches start with.

Good coaching software does three things: it keeps every session connected to the client's goals, it gives the client a place to reflect and act between sessions, and it makes progress visible to both coach and client.

How to choose coaching software

Most coaches compare on features first. These criteria matter more in daily practice:

  • Session continuity: can you see what happened last time and what the client did since?
  • Client engagement: does the client have a place to reflect and act between sessions?
  • Privacy: where is client data stored, is there a DPA, and can clients have their data deleted?
  • Pricing model: does the price grow with every client, or is it flat?
  • Methods: can you use and adapt proven coaching methods inside the tool?
  • Switching: can you start small and move existing clients over gradually?

Frequently asked questions

What is the best coaching software?

It depends on how you coach. For coaches who work in programs with several sessions and want clients engaged between sessions, a dedicated workspace like FocusCoachee fits best. Coaches who mainly sell courses often prefer course platforms, and coaches who need invoicing first often choose all-in-one business tools.

Is there free coaching software?

Yes. FocusCoachee Starter is free with no time limit and includes the full methods library and the client portal for up to 3 clients at a time. Practice Better also offers a free plan for up to three clients.

How much does coaching software cost?

Most coaching software costs between €20 and €120 per month. Some tools charge per client, so the price rises as your practice grows. FocusCoachee uses flat prices: free, €47 (founding rate €29) or €87 (founding rate €57) per month.

How does FocusCoachee handle GDPR?

FocusCoachee takes care of the platform side: client data is stored in the Netherlands, a Data Processing Agreement is included, data is encrypted, two-factor authentication is available and clients give or withdraw AI consent per program. As a coach you remain responsible for your own part, such as informing your clients and deciding what you record.

Can my clients use FocusCoachee too?

Yes. Every client gets their own secure portal to see goals, sessions, actions and reflections.
