Independent guides for executive coaches

Choose coaching technology with confidence

Practical reviews, comparisons and buying guides for the tools that run a coaching practice. Every tool is tested hands-on and scored against a published method.

Hands-on testing

We sign up, set up a practice and run real coaching workflows before we score anything.

Clear comparisons

Side-by-side pricing and features, with the date we last checked each one.

Confidentiality first

We check where client data is stored, who can see it and whether it trains AI models.

What we cover

Executive coaches run small, high-trust businesses. These are the categories of software that matter most to how that business runs and how clients experience it.

Practice management

Client records, contracts, scheduling, invoicing and session notes in one place.

AI note-takers

Transcription and session summaries, judged on accuracy and how they handle confidential conversations.

Scheduling and payments

Booking, reminders, packages and payment collection for one-to-one and group work.

Assessments and psychometrics

Leadership, personality and 360 tools that coaches use with senior clients.

AI practice and role-play

Tools that let clients rehearse difficult conversations between sessions.

Client portals and programs

Branded spaces for resources, goals, journaling and multi-session programs.

In progress

Our first guide: practice management software

We are testing the leading practice management platforms for independent and boutique executive coaching practices. Each one is scored on fit for executive work, data handling, pricing transparency, ease of use, integrations and support.
