The difference isn't just features. It's who your members belong to.

Trybe

Your own branded space

Your members see only you. No other coaches.

They are your customers, so the relationship grows over time. Next month you can offer them a challenge, a live workshop, or upsell to 1:1 training.

Playbook

A profile inside their marketplace

Your members subscribe to Playbook, not to you. One subscription opens their whole marketplace to your members.

The customer is Playbook's. Their attention is split across every coach they follow, and the relationship that should deepen with you spreads thin instead.

Four reasons coaches choose Trybe over Playbook

1. Your members see only you

Your members open your space and see your programs, your community and nothing else. Every minute they spend in the app, they spend with you.

On Playbook, your members are shown other coaches inside the same app. Every coach they follow takes a share of the attention you earned.

2. Keep selling to the people who already bought

Your members stay your customers. Launch a challenge, a new program or a live workshop, and you sell it straight to people who already trust you. Monthly members can upgrade to lifetime, with credit for what they've paid.

On Playbook, the subscriber is Playbook's. Your next launch competes with every other coach they follow.

3. Organize your content like Netflix

Arrange your programs, workouts and videos into tabs and rows, just like a streaming app. Members find the right workout fast, and see everything else you offer on the way.

On Playbook, your programs sit on a standard profile page, laid out like every other coach's.

4. Grow into your own app in the App Store

Established coaches get their own app in the App Store and Google Play, under their own name and icon. Fans who search your name find your app.

On Playbook, your members always download Playbook's app, under Playbook's name.

Your email list is yours.

Every member syncs to your own email list, tagged as paid, free or canceled.
