My long-cherished dream
Best of all I liked the library and the timetable/calendar functions. The marketing option for coaches is a little bit unclear because some coaches are not really psychologists or psychoanalysts but language trainers, edutainment tutors, accent coaches, teaching professionals and so on. Besides, many coaches are multilingual or bilingual and they may need to be advertised in their mother tongue. What's more, it would be better if the service could become more customisable. If each coach could choose which options they need and which are not necessary for them, it would be perfect. For instance, I am really desperate about 70% of the options, but 30% of the other options are just useless for me, but I cannot turn them off and have to pay up the full package. What a waste!
PROSIt is just amazing! Splendid. Effective. Powerful. Smart. Adorable. I started TOEFL Coaching in 2011. I was looking for such a tool since that year. I used different kinds of LMS, Moodle, Teaching Platforms, I even tried to implement a physical dedicated server and create my own classroom and blackboards. It was so tiresome, time-consuming and effortful that I almost betrayed my idea of having a good coaching environment. After years of long, painstaking and wasteful struggle for finding out something really suitable for my needs, I discovered Coaching Loft. I cannot describe how happy I was when I registered, tried out, checked up and activated my first billing plan for this precious thing. It has everything which I have been desperate about: Calendar with my own Timetable, Notes, Coachees, Messages, Appointments, Feedback and even a Coaching Library (I am using Performance Coaching Library which is best for my needs). I can upload files to Coaching Loft (I have not tried out sharing functions yet). It is has some personal virtual cloud. I can create my pages of coaching products and packages. I can even use this thing as my personally branded page and advertise by using this tool. It has really changed my life! I could not imagine that such an adorable, applicable, effortless, effective and practical tool exists! It is not just user-friendly, it is amazingly user-friendly. Thank you very much, guys. I am so grateful. I wish I would have had the software years ago.
CONSWell, the billing for Master Membership Level is a little bit over the top. If we consider how many coaches nowadays are desperate about such software and how much some average coach can earn per hour, having 1-2 sessions per day (which is a maximum for any normal coach), we can conclude that the price is a little bit too high for coaches who is not a super star in their field. But it is understandable because the software is really splendid.
Reason for choosing Coaching Loft
Sometimes JitsiMeet servers are unstable. But JitsiMeet is a good alternative as a free, limited option for those who are not ready to pay up for expensive products.
Reasons for switching to Coaching Loft
As boring as hell, ineffective, unsuitable for my needs, effortful, inflexible, outdated. Just horrible! I wasted so much energy, time and money to adjust this LMS for my needs that I was almost ready to change my profession. It is easier to deal with a rebellious youngster, grow an apple tree and build a wooden house than customize this old-fashioned, free, old, open-source LMS for the needs of any modern coach.

Frustrated at first, now Very Happy with my decision to stick with them.
This app has allowed me to house my coaching practice in one organized place. There are no additional features I can think to add to improve on the product, it is well thought out and built as is!
PROSThis platform comes loaded with many tools for Coaches and allows them the ability to organize there service offerings professionally, along with the ability to use the platform for increased viability as a coach. Useful tools for coaches, Assessments, a list of 100's of questions, goals and actions, file storage, agreements can be sent, scheduling, invoices and feedback.
CONSExperienced a few issues at first from my lack of understanding. Everything has since been addressed, only negative I can convey is Coaching Loft seems to be a lean team and given the time zone difference I found difficulty in aligning schedules to address perceived issues.
Reason for choosing Coaching Loft
A multitude of reason. The decision was based on the testing of the other two apps listed in the review. Coaching Loft shared the core desired functionalities of the other apps had better pricing and I had the best experience on the free trial of Coaching Loft. All these decisions lead to my final purchase decision!
Reasons for switching to Coaching Loft
A few reasons, one being I was having a few issues with functionality. I assumed this was because I was running a free version. I also picked coachlogix initially because of the app. I didn't have the best experience so decided to try another competitor before making a purchase decision. I decided to test coaching Loft's free platform which I had a better user experience with, in addition to that the price point was almost double for the same if not less functionality
Vendor Response
Thank you for this feedback. We are in the process of hiring more people in different time zone to accommodate everyone.

No integrations
I contacted the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and never responded, so I guess there is no interest at all.
PROSI like the features even though they are still very confusing, but it is a complete tool.
CONSIt doesn't integrate with anything viable, we usually have other apps already and this software doesn't integrate with any of those.
Reason for choosing Coaching Loft
It's the only product that was made specifically for coaching processes.
Vendor Response
Hello Monica, we certainly do have a number of integrations already running which include MailChimp, PayPal, LeadFeeder, and Quickbooks. You can find these and activate them under your picture, top right corner, once you are logged-in to your account. Here is a quick link for you to use: https://www.coachingloft.com/coach/integrations The team is also currently on integrating HubSpot, Zoom, and other platforms. We are also working on hooking up to Zapier, which will give you access to over 2,000 Apps and software integrations. Zapier is taking the longest, due to the complexity of the integration connections needed. We do have a record with you asking about Zoho from earlier this month, and unfortunately we had to pull it from Spam just now, hence why no one responded to it. In the future, if you need a question answered I would strongly suggest that the safest way is to leave a message in the Chat Box or Speak with a Live Customer Service Agent on Chat if someone is online.

Coaches best tools
This platform provides Coaches with a combination of sources, enabling them to offer their services streamlined and professionally while also expanding their business prospects. Examinations, a bank of questions numbering in the hundreds, a set of objectives and a plan of action, document control, and the ability to submit contracts, appointments, bills, and comments are valuable tools for coaches.
CONSSome early difficulties can be attributed to my incomprehension. The only criticism I have now is that it was hard for me to coordinate my schedule with Coaching Loft's because of the different time zones, but that's been fixed.

An all in one solution
There is nothing I dislike about this software. I am saying that honestly. It is probably one of the best kept secrets in the life coaching industry. I would love to see and on the go iPhone app version of the software. That would be a game changer
PROSI am able to schedule my clients, and their appointments show up automatically on my connected iPhone calendar. In addition, I can upload my own resources, have each client have a profile, have video conferencing with the client, and have other built in guides and features including invoicing that makes billing and agreements and contracts seamless
