CustomCoach vs Paperbell
Delivery against checkout
The short version
Paperbell owns the commercial mechanics — buy, sign, book. Homework stops at forms. There is no client app and it is not HIPAA compliant.
CustomCoach does not take package payments or run your calendar. It runs the engagement after the person is already a client.
Where each one fits
Reach for Paperbell when the bottleneck is selling and scheduling packages, and you want one checkout. Keep Zoom and a separate delivery tool if the work between sessions matters.
Reach for CustomCoach when the bottleneck is the work itself: instruments, programmes, 360, sponsor intake without an account. Keep Calendly and Stripe if you sell packages.
| CustomCoach | Paperbell | |
|---|---|---|
| Best at | Coaching delivery and measurement | Packages, booking, contracts, payments |
| Checkout | Not built in | Stripe and PayPal, packages and subscriptions |
| Scheduling | Session records, not a booking page | Built in, time-zone aware |
| Homework / instruments | Scored toolkit and interactive programmes | Forms and surveys |
| Portal for non-clients | Single-use links for sponsors and peers | Client portal for people who have bought |
| Price | £49 / £129 / £349 a month | $57/month unlimited clients (or $570/year) |
The honest trade-off
Do not buy CustomCoach to replace Paperbell’s shop. Do not buy Paperbell to replace a scored toolkit. Many serious practices will keep both, or keep Calendly next to CustomCoach.
