The difference isn't just features. It's who your members belong to.
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 invite them into your 1:1 coaching.
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 can apply for 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.

Questions coaches ask about switching.
Is Trybe a marketplace?
No. Every coach gets a private, branded space. Your members see only you.
Do my members download a separate app?
They download the Trybe app and land in your space. Established coaches can apply for their own app in the App Store and Google Play.
Can I move my subscribers from Playbook?
Yes. We've helped many creators bulk-migrate their existing members. We set up your space first, then you announce the move to your audience. Our team helps you plan it when you're ready.
Who handles billing and support?
We do. Payments go to your Stripe account, and our team handles member billing questions and support.
Do I need to apply?
Yes. Trybe is by application today. It takes two minutes: tell us about your audience, your content and how you sell today. We read every application and reply either way.
What does it cost?
Free to start. We take a share of revenue when you earn. No monthly fee and no setup cost.
Your members. Your customers. Your space.
