## Summary

Practice Better pricing, features and who should pick it, against FitConnect for dietitians, nutrition coaches and trainers. Verified October 2026.

> **QUICK ANSWER**
>
> Practice Better costs $0 to $155 a month (as of October 2026) and is built for clinical practice: HIPAA positioning, insurance superbills, telehealth and charting. FitConnect has none of those, and is the better fit for nutrition coaches who share clients with a trainer, want training and diet plans in one place and need EU-hosted data, from EUR 0.

## Practice Better pricing in 2026

Prices below come from [practicebetter.io/pricing](https://practicebetter.io/pricing), checked in October 2026, in US dollars. Annual billing is cheaper per month.

| Plan | Monthly | Billed annually (per month) | Clients |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Sprout | Free | Free | 3 |
| Starter | $35 | $25 | 10 |
| Professional | $69 | $59 | 300 |
| Plus | $99 | $89 | Unlimited |
| Team | $155 | $145 | Unlimited, 2+ practitioners |

Paid plans carry a 14-day trial and Team a 30-day trial. Many extras are separate charges: AI charting from $10 a month per practitioner, ePrescribe at $49 a month plus a one-time fee, SMS beyond the included amount at 5 cents each, faxing at 10 cents a page, and an additional practitioner on Team at $50 a month. Payments run through Stripe; the page does not state the processing fee.

## What Practice Better does that FitConnect does not

Being plain about this saves you a trial. Practice Better lists HIPAA compliance, superbills and a Claim.MD integration for insurance, built-in telehealth video from the Starter plan, intake forms and note templates, fax, e-prescribing and 20+ integrations. FitConnect has no HIPAA business associate agreement, no insurance billing and no clinical charting or telehealth system. If a US payer or a HIPAA requirement is part of your practice, FitConnect is not the right tool.

## Where FitConnect fits better

- You coach on nutrition and training together. FitConnect has periodised training plans, an exercise library, diet plans with macros and recipes, check-ins and chat in one client record.
- A client works with more than one professional. A trainer and a nutrition professional can each work with the same client on one platform, with their own plans.
- You are in the EU or serve EU clients. Data is hosted in the EU and the product is GDPR-first, priced in euros, with a Spanish-language version.
- You want a low entry price. Paid plans start at EUR 14.99 a month for 15 clients, and the Unlimited tier is EUR 49.99 a month.
- You want an AI draft you review. Pro and Unlimited include an AI assistant that drafts plans for the professional to review and edit; it does not decide anything on its own.

## Who should pick which

Pick Practice Better if you are a US practitioner who bills insurance, needs HIPAA documentation, runs telehealth sessions or wants a free tier to test with three clients. Pick FitConnect if you run a coaching business, work alongside a trainer or sell nutrition and training together, and do not need clinical compliance features. If you are comparing Practice Better and Healthie, the two are closer to each other than either is to FitConnect.

## Moving from Practice Better to FitConnect

1. Export your client list and any documents you want to keep from Practice Better.
2. Create a free FitConnect account and add one client to test your normal workflow.
3. Build one diet plan and one training plan, run a check-in and send a chat message.
4. Move the rest of your clients in batches within your plan limit, and keep Practice Better until your clients are settled.
5. Cancel the old plan once your clients are settled. If you are in Spain or the EU with a VIES-validated VAT number you can then collect client payments in EUR through FitConnect (10% commission plus 21% Spanish IVA on it); if you are in the US or UK, keep collecting payments in your current tool, because FitConnect cannot process them for you today.
