GoalMate
Booking Software for Coaches, With Clients Built In
Most coaching software gives you a booking page and leaves finding clients entirely to you. Most marketplaces send you clients and take a cut of every session. GoalMate is both, and takes no commission at all. You get the booking, payment and scheduling tools, and you get found by people already searching for a coach in your area.
What it costs
- Zero commission. You keep 100% of the session price you set. If you charge £40, you receive £40.
- No subscription. There is no monthly fee and no annual plan.
- Free to join. No setup cost and no card required to create a profile.
- How the platform is funded: the client pays a service fee on top of your price at checkout. A flat £1 on sessions up to £25, and 4% above that.
What you get
- Online booking against your real availability, so clients book a slot that actually exists
- Card payments up front through Stripe, which ends chasing bank transfers and absorbing no shows
- Automatic payouts straight to your bank account
- Google Calendar sync in both directions, so your diary stays in one place
- Client messaging without handing out your personal number
- A verified public profile that ranks for your sport and city
- Packages and group sessions as well as one to one, including multi week blocks with weekly recurrence
Getting set up
- Create your profile. Your sports, specialisms, qualifications, venues and rates.
- Connect Stripe. This is how you get paid, and it is what lets clients pay by card at the point of booking.
- Set your availability. The hours you actually want to work, including split days and multiple locations.
- Optionally sync your calendar. Existing commitments block out automatically.
Most coaches finish in 10 to 20 minutes. Nothing goes live until your identity and qualifications have been checked.
Which coaches GoalMate is for
Self employed and freelance coaches across golf, tennis, football, personal training, yoga, pilates and cricket, currently in the North West and the Midlands. It suits you if you are running your diary through messages and spreadsheets, taking payment by bank transfer, or spending more time on admin and marketing than you want to.
Common questions
Do I have to give up my existing clients?
No. You can bring existing clients onto the platform so their booking and payment runs through GoalMate too, or keep them entirely separate. It is your choice per client.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no notice period. You can stop taking bookings whenever you want.
What does verified mean?
Before a profile goes live we check identity, review coaching qualifications, and complete Stripe Connect onboarding. It is what lets clients book someone they have never met with confidence.
How quickly do I get paid?
Payouts are handled by Stripe and go directly to your bank account, so you are not waiting on an invoice or chasing anyone.
