FAQ
Questions coaches ask
What is the best nutrition tracking app for coaches?
It depends on what you sell. If nutrition is your main service, goCaju shows every client’s meals on one screen. For training plus nutrition in one place, ABC Trainerize. For clinical detail, Cronometer Pro.
Which apps calculate macros from a meal photo?
goCaju (on every plan, Free included), Everfit (paid plans) and Cronometer (Gold, free for Cronometer Pro clients). MyFitnessPal needs Premium. Trainerize lets clients attach a photo, but doesn’t calculate macros from it.
How much does a nutrition app cost for 10 clients?
In October 2026, with monthly billing: goCaju €19, Everfit $29, Cronometer Pro $39.99, Trainerize $50 (Pro 15) and TrueCoach $69.98 (20-client plan). MyFitnessPal is free for you, but each client pays Premium for photo, voice and barcode.
Do my clients have to pay anything?
Not with goCaju: clients log for free. With MyFitnessPal, photo, voice and barcode logging need Premium, paid by each client. Cronometer Pro includes Gold for your clients.
Is there a free nutrition app for coaches?
goCaju is free for your first client, with full nutrition tracking. Everfit is free for up to 5 clients but is training-first. Trainerize Basic is free for 1 client, without meal tracking.
Can I coach nutrition with MyFitnessPal?
Yes, if each client shares their diary with you. There is no coach dashboard, so you check clients one by one, and scanning features need Premium.
Can I use goCaju with my current training app?
Yes. goCaju only does nutrition, so many coaches keep Trainerize, TrueCoach or Everfit for workouts and use goCaju for meals.
How did you compare these apps?
We checked each vendor’s public pricing and feature pages in October 2026. A cross in the table means the feature isn’t listed there. goCaju is our app; tell us at nicolas@gocaju.com if something has changed.
