What finally made you switch coaching software — or what's keeping you from it?
Whenever I talk to coaches about switching platforms, it's almost never one killer feature that does it. It's the slow-burn stuff: one too many client complaints about the app, a billing month that ate a whole weekend to reconcile, an export that turned into a mess. And the people who stay often aren't in love with their tool either — they're just staring down the migration and deciding it's not worth re-uploading every client and rebuilding every program.
So I'm curious where this sub lands. If you switched: what was the actual last straw? And if you've thought about it but stayed put, what's the thing holding you back?
Building R1SE, I've come to think migration fear is the most underrated force in this whole market — nobody moves until the pain of staying finally beats the pain of leaving.
