Comparison
Tyzra vs Kahunas
Of the platforms coaches ask us about, Kahunas is the closest match: UK-founded, physique-coach friendly, and built around a real check-in form builder rather than chat workarounds. The differences are in the details: what the check-in can contain, what reviewing at volume feels like, what nutrition coaching includes, and what you pay as your roster grows.
Kahunas details last verified August 2026 from their public pricing and documentation.

Frequently asked questions
Is Tyzra a good Kahunas alternative for physique coaches?
They are the two most directly comparable platforms here: both are built around structured check-in forms for online physique and strength coaches. Tyzra's edge is the review workflow (a dedicated queue with batch review and structured feedback), included meal planning, conditional check-in logic, automatic e1RM charts, and flat all-inclusive pricing with a free plan. Kahunas' edge is native and white-label apps, video check-ins, wearable data, and its automation and messaging stack.
How does Kahunas pricing compare to Tyzra?
Kahunas now prices in USD: $35/month (~£28) for up to 25 clients, $69/month (~£54) for up to 50, and $99/month (~£78) for unlimited, with no free plan (14-day trial) and features like automations, group messaging, Zapier, and the branded app gated to higher tiers. Tyzra is free for 5 clients, £19/month for 20, £39/month for 50, and £59/month unlimited, with every feature on every plan. Both take 0% commission on client payments.
Can clients send posing videos with their check-in?
On Kahunas, yes: their check-in forms accept video uploads. Tyzra check-ins collect up to 6 progress photos but not video today; coaches who need weekly posing videos usually have clients share a link in a text field. If video check-ins are central to your coaching, that is a genuine reason to pick Kahunas.
Which platform handles check-in review better?
Tyzra treats review as a workflow: pending check-ins land in one urgency-sorted inbox, open into a workspace showing answers, photo comparison, and metric trends together, and every review produces a client-visible summary, action items, and internal notes, with batch review and keyboard shortcuts for busy days. Kahunas documents strong form building and graphs metric answers over time, but does not publicly document an equivalent review queue.
Does Kahunas include meal planning?
Kahunas nutrition is strong on the client-logging side, with a 1.8M+ verified food database, barcode scanning, and macro targets with a TDEE calculator, but it has no coach-side meal plan and recipe builder; coaches typically attach meal-plan PDFs. Tyzra includes structured meal plans (7 days, swappable options per meal), a recipe builder, and built-in food logging on every plan.
We keep this page honest: Kahunas facts were checked against their public pricing and documentation in August 2026, and prices may have changed since. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we will fix it.
