CoachCore vs TeachMe.to
TeachMe.to is a discovery platform — it helps new students find you. CoachCore is where you run your business once they do. Use TeachMe.to to get found. Use CoachCore to handle all repeat bookings, payments, and student management without fees added at checkout.
The Real Cost of "Free for Coaches"
TeachMe.to markets itself as free for coaches. But when students see a higher price at checkout, coaches face a choice: hold their rate and lose bookings to cheaper coaches on the same platform, or lower their rate to stay competitive.
A coach charging $80/session who drops to $65 to offset the student-facing fee loses $15 per lesson. At 20 lessons a month, that's $300/month — $3,600/year in lost revenue.
CoachCore costs $59/month as a founding coach. The math is straightforward.
What Students Experience on TeachMe.to
"I signed up for their free trial lesson for golf... right after the lesson, I canceled my subscription. A few days later, they charged my credit card $370 for lessons I never booked. No email, no notification, nothing. THEN a month later, they charged me ANOTHER $370."

When students have bad billing experiences, they don't come back — and they don't book with the coaches on that platform either.
Use TeachMe.to to Get Found. Use CoachCore to Get Paid.
TeachMe.to is a discovery marketplace — it puts you in front of beginners looking to try a new sport. That has real value, especially early in your coaching career. CoachCore doesn't replace that.
What CoachCore replaces is processing repeat bookings through a platform that adds fees at checkout. Once a student finds you on TeachMe.to and completes their first lesson, bring them to your CoachCore page for all future bookings. You own the relationship, they pay exactly what you charge plus Stripe's standard processing fee (2.9% + $0.30) — no platform markup, no surprise fees.
A coach doing 20 repeat lessons a month with established students has no reason to route those through a discovery platform. That's where CoachCore pays for itself — fast.
