Coach.me

Coach.me pairs a habit tracker with coaching for personal goals, health, productivity, and business growth. It suits people who want free habit support or are ready to pay for direct coaching. Its strongest case is the choice between community encouragement and one-on-one guidance; its public-facing profile and Q&A limits make it a poor fit for sensitive goals.

Overview

The free tracker supports unlimited habits, progress tracking, reminders, step-by-step plans, and community participation. Weekly and monthly progress trends help users see how routines are developing, while community Q&A and encouragement add a social element. Those tools make Coach.me useful even without a paid coach, though users should account for the visibility of goal discussions before posting personal information.

Key features

Habit tracking and coaching

Users can track habits, set custom reminders, follow plans, and review weekly or monthly trends. One-on-one Habit Coaching adds daily support through private in-app chat. Coach.me lets users browse coaches by specialty and reviews or use CoachMatch to find a match based on goals, personality, and preferred coaching style. That choice is useful for people who want a coach aligned with their needs, but coaching is priced separately by coach.

Privacy and support

Making a goal private hides its check-ins and notes from the user’s profile, but posts in that goal’s Q&A remain public. Coach.me has no private-profile option and no way to lock the phone app, so it is not a strong choice for users who need broad privacy controls. Chats are private between the user and coach, though anonymized transcripts may be reviewed by staff for coach certification. Coach.me says account deletion removes user data and that it uses reasonable protective measures, including encryption, while acknowledging it cannot guarantee security. A searchable support center and a getting-started guide that directs users to [email protected] provide help routes.

Pricing

The free Habit Tracker / Self-coaching with Community Support plan costs nothing and includes unlimited habits, community Q&A, and props. The separate Self-coaching with Community Support plan also includes habit tracking, Q&A, and encouragement, but has no published price. These community options are best for people who want structure and peer support without daily personal coaching.

Habit Coaching costs $87 a month, billed $87/month, for daily private-chat coaching; each coach is priced separately. It fits users seeking regular individual support, but the ongoing monthly charge is a meaningful step up from the free tracker. Leadership Coaching costs $150 a month, billed $150/month, and includes twice-monthly live lessons, a peer lab, and weekly leadership lessons, making it the more focused option for leadership development.

Phone consultations use a one-time charge, with rates varying by coach, and include an in-depth phone consultation. Custom Individual & Group Coaching has custom pricing set by individual coaches, shown on each coach’s profile. These options suit users seeking a particular coach or format, but costs depend on the coach.

Platforms

Coach.me is available on web, iOS, and Android. The habit tracker page also lists an iPhone Today widget and Apple Watch check-ins and reminders, useful for users who want habit prompts and logging close at hand.

Who it's for

Coach.me serves individuals, entrepreneurs, coaches, teams, and leaders. It is most compelling for individuals who want unlimited free habit tracking with a path to coaching, and for leaders interested in structured lessons and peer learning. Users who need private profiles, private goal discussions, or an app lock should look elsewhere for sensitive goals.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Unlimited habits on the free tracker make it practical for people building several routines without a subscription.
• Pro: Users can combine reminders, progress trends, plans, and community encouragement, or move to daily one-on-one chat coaching.
• Pro: Coach browsing and CoachMatch give users two ways to find support suited to their specialty and coaching preferences.
• Con: Private goals do not make Q&A posts private, and there is no private-profile setting or phone-app lock.
• Con: Habit Coaching is $87/month and priced separately by coach, while Leadership Coaching costs $150/month.
• Con: Anonymized chat transcripts may be reviewed by staff, a relevant limitation for users expecting coach conversations to remain wholly unseen.

Verdict

Choose Coach.me if you want unlimited free habit tracking with community support and the option to add individual or leadership coaching. Its main drawback is privacy: goal Q&A stays public even when a goal is private, and profile-level controls are limited. For confidential goals, or if you need an app lock, look elsewhere.
