Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: easy2coach at 92% against The Coaching Manual's 46%. easy2coach also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). The Coaching Manual's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. easy2coach sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. The Coaching Manual asks for nothing beyond the download.
The Coaching Manual holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Coaching Manual has 706 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of easy2coach's written reviews are positive against 46% of The Coaching Manual's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
easy2coach ships an update every 4 days, The Coaching Manual every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
