What a coach website costs: Pludor and the alternatives
The real difference between builders is not the website - it is whether taking orders, bookings and payments is included or costs a monthly plan. Here is what each one charges, from its own pricing page.

|---|---|---|---|
| Pludor | $0 a month. 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order; card processing is charged separately by the processor. | Coaches who want the website, booking and payments in one place, without a monthly bill | A fee on each paid online order; past the free monthly amounts, usage is pay as you go; your own domain is paid to your registrar |

| Durable | Free plan on a durable.site address; Launch $25/mo ($22 yearly) | Quick AI site with a light CRM | Payments and programmes need other tools |

Questions coaches ask about websites
What is the best website builder for coaches?
For a coach starting out, one that includes booking and payments without a big monthly fee. Pludor does both with no monthly fee (the first 30 bookings each month are free, then 2 credits per booking; 4.99% + $0.90 on paid online orders); Kajabi is powerful but starts at $143/mo billed yearly.
Do coaches need a website or is Instagram enough?
A website turns interest into booked calls and payments, ranks on Google and works for clients who never use Instagram. Use Instagram to send people to it.
How do I get coaching clients from my website?
Lead with the result you get people, offer a free discovery call, show outcome-based testimonials and make booking one tap.
Can I sell a coaching programme on my website?
Yes - add it as a priced offer clients pay for by card. Courses with lessons are also available on Pludor.
Should I show my coaching prices?
Showing at least starting prices filters out poor fits and makes discovery calls more productive.
Can clients book across time zones?
Yes, online booking shows your available times so clients anywhere can pick a slot.
How much does a coaching website cost?
$0 to start on Pludor; general builders run $17-40 a month; all-in-one coaching platforms often $100+ a month.
Can I collect emails for a newsletter?
Yes, collect emails and message clients from the same dashboard.
Is there a monthly fee for the coach website?
No. Building, previewing and publishing the website is free, and there is no monthly fee for the website. Pludor charges 4.99% + $0.90 only when a customer pays online for a paid booking, and card processing is charged separately by the processor.
Do I have to pay for hosting or a domain name?
No - hosting is included free at your own Pludor address. A domain name is optional and is paid to your registrar (usually $10-20 a year) when you want yourname.com instead; you can connect one at any time.
Is the free coach website really free - what is the catch?
There is no catch and no card to start: the website, hosting and online booking are free. Pludor earns 4.99% + $0.90 when a customer pays online, and AI features beyond the free monthly amounts use credits (1 credit = 1 cent).
Can I edit my coach website myself after it is built?
Yes. Open it in the builder and tap any text, photo, price or button to change it, or just say what you want ("put my phone number at the top"). Changes show on the live site straight away - no developer and no support ticket.
Does the website work on phones?
Yes - it is built mobile first. Most local searches happen on a phone, so the layout, the tap-to-call button and the booking flow are designed for a small screen before anything else.
What do I need ready before I start?
Your coach name and one sentence about what you do - that is enough for the first version. Prices, photos, hours and your area can be added straight after; the AI writes the pages from what you give it.
Can I add or change my prices later?
Yes. Prices, services, packages and availability are edited from your phone in seconds and the website updates at once.
Will my coach website show up when people ask ChatGPT or Google for a coach?
The pages are clean HTML with your services, prices and area as real text, plus structured data and a sitemap, which is what Google and AI assistants read. Publish it, add the link to your Google Business Profile, and collect reviews - those three do most of the work.
What happens to my website if I stop using Pludor?
Your words and photos are yours - copy them out at any time. The free Pludor address and hosting stop when the account is closed; if you connected your own domain, point it at your new host. That is why we suggest connecting a domain once the site is earning.
How do I add photos from my phone?
Take the photo with your phone and add it in the builder, or upload the ones you already have - iPhone (HEIC) and newer Android photos included, they are converted for the web automatically. AI can tidy the background and light so phone photos look like product shots.
I designed my website but did not publish it - is it saved?
Yes. Your design is kept: open the website builder again while signed in and it is there, ready to check. Press "Make it live - free" to publish it, or tap anything to change it first.
Can customers pay me with mobile money or cash?
Yes. Next to card payments you can show MoMo, M-Pesa, Vodafone Cash, PayPal, Cash App, a bank transfer or cash on delivery at checkout. The customer pays you directly and you mark the booking paid when the money arrives.
Will prices show in my own currency?
Yes. Your coach sells in your own currency - it is set from the country you open in, and you can change it in Settings at any time.
