Why Coaches Leave Practice Better
Common pain points that drive solo coaches to look for alternatives — sourced from G2 and community reviews.
"Practice Better raised prices again. I'm a solo coach with 18 clients — I don't need enterprise features. I just need it to work."
"Practice Better is powerful but overwhelming. I spent 3 weeks trying to set it up properly. I coach people, I don't want to manage software."
"I'm paying for telehealth, AI charting, group programs, supplement integrations — and I use exactly none of them. Just give me client tracking."
