Upliftt vs Kahunas

The Kahunas alternative with flat pricing and no feature gating

Kahunas now charges per client and unlocks features as your roster grows. Upliftt has three flat plans, and every one includes the full platform: recipes, lead capture, community, challenges and courses, from $29 a month.

No credit card needed. Every feature is on from day one.

Flat vs per seat

Your bill shouldn't grow every time you sign a client

Kahunas bills per seat, so every new client raises your monthly cost. Upliftt is one flat price per plan. Here is what each costs as your roster grows.

Monthly billing, USD. Kahunas prices as publicly reported in November 2026: per-seat pricing in bands, where team members also count as seats and a roster is billed at the next band up when that costs less. Upliftt annual billing lowers plans to $23, $39 and $69 a month. Stripe's standard processing fees apply on both platforms.

No feature gating

Every feature, from your first client

On Kahunas, features unlock as you add seats. On Upliftt, the $29 plan has everything the $79 plan has. The only difference is how many clients you can coach.

What changed

Kahunas moved to per-seat pricing in late 2026

Kahunas replaced its three flat plans with per-seat pricing. For most roster sizes, the same number of clients now costs more.

25 clients

$35→$62.50

Was Essentials

+79% per month

50 clients

$69→$100

Was Growth

+45% per month

100 clients

$99→$150

Was Ultimate, unlimited

+52% per month

Your own branded app

$99→$200

Was Ultimate

+102% per month

Monthly prices in USD. Earlier plan prices as publicly recorded in September 2026, current per-seat prices as reported in November 2026. The old and new plans don't include identical features. The smallest rosters (under about seven clients) pay less than before.

Honest fit

When Kahunas is the better choice

We'd rather you pick the right tool than switch twice. Kahunas may suit you better if:

You coach five clients or fewer.

Kahunas starts at $15 a month for three seats, so the smallest rosters pay a little less there.

You need wearable syncing today.

Kahunas connects to wearables. Upliftt doesn't yet.

You rely on Zapier or Make.

Kahunas offers both from 25 seats. On Upliftt they're coming soon.

You only need the basics.

If you never plan to use recipes, community, challenges or courses, the gating won't affect you.

Upliftt is the better fit if you want your costs to stay flat while your roster grows.

You get community, challenges, courses, recipes and lead capture from day one, not once you reach a seat count.

Switching

Try it alongside Kahunas first

You don't have to move everyone at once. Most coaches run two or three clients on Upliftt for a week, then bring the rest across.

    Bring the rest across
