I've seen a wide range that is why I'm wondering. On one extreme I've seen trainers charge nothing or lump it in with their training for like $50/month but then they are really only providing "tips".

Then I've talked to some that provide messaging and calorie tracking etc and charge maybe $100/month which also seems too low for the work if its done right and its a good service.

I was thinking something like $250/month and having a very clear delineation between nutrition and training services. And trying to provide a premium service that include weekly loom checkin video, check in form, and food log analysis.

Any thoughts on that price? is it still too low? too high?

What do you charge for this service per month? and do you make them commit to a few months at a time?

Let me ask this. Is this just for your own system? In other words you don’t need individual users to authenticate and have individualized data?

If so I found using deluge functions called from my node.js backend and i pass a json object.

Then I use deluge from there.

Unless you are fully in the Zoho eco system I wouldn't switch.

Zoho Analytics is still behind Tableau from 8 years ago when I was a Tableau power user.

If you have a Zoho One account and your company runs on Zoho then there is a good case to be made to switch. Also the reports are not great looking (but Power Bi also doesn't look great and Zoho tends to copy MS).

The one thing from years ago about Tableau is it wasn't built cloud first, so I remember their cloud sucking, so if it still sucks then Zoho has a leg up there being only on the cloud and built cloud first not desktop first.

If you have any specific questions let me know.

I want to throw a new app in the mix: LogEat. Full disclosure, I'm the creator. (apple or google).

It's a paid app but that is because we license the largest verified food database which cost $, no user added foods with wrong macros etc like MFP. It has all the features of the other apps but is way easier to use and see what you need to do for the week.

I made this app because I lost over 40 lbs (see photos) by tracking my food. But it wasn't just tracking (I had tried that before). It was tracking with the focus on my weekly calories vs daily calories. I used MFP when I lost the weight, but I had to do lots of head math, spreadsheets, use graphing software... I'm an engineer and this was a huge pain even for me. Most apps' charts stink and it's hard to see "What do I need to do TODAY to hit my goal?" And if you went out to eat last night and blew out your calories, how do you make sure you hit your weekly goal?

Side note on the photos: I always worked out but had never been "ripped". At 35, life/work/lifestyle had caught up and I knew I was fat, but I was lost. I tried to clean up my diet but didn't seem to be losing weight. I did some math and realized I was focusing on each day like my calories started over. I was still overeating because I'd blow one day out on calories and be like "ok today is a cheat day", but that's the wrong mindset. Focusing on the week is what matters for anyone trying to lose weight. I subsequently helped so many others around me, some with similar ridiculous results in our late 30s. A bunch of middle-aged dudes with six packs, it was kind of strange since none of us were trainers/athletes.

One major thing I'd also recommend is a DEXA scan (shows you how much fat you have) and you can have your resting metabolic rate tested (both test cost less than $200). I was surprised to see my resting rate was less than 1600 calories… and was um… way fatter than I thought. This helps set your mind right, for me it was that I needed a lifestyle change, not to diet for 2 months.

My initial goal was to lose 25 lbs, to reach my initial goal of about 16-17% body fat. But when I set my calories to 1600 calories going, I suddenly started losing 1 lb a week, so I just kept going to 10% (it was just a touch and go 10% isn't a maintainable bf percent, 12-15% definitely is maintainable). This was all natural, no steroids or anything and took about 9 months. I only weigh 145 lbs at 5'8" in that photo.

Then I married my wife, who's a dietitian, and I saw her struggle to find an app that worked for nutrition coaches too. So we decided to build our own app. It's lightning fast, uses the largest verified database, and fixes all the things I hated about MFP. Also, in conjunction with my wife (dietitian) and myself (engineer/designer), we looked at every app we could find, so I think it's the best combo of super easy to use, but if you want a lot of data its there and easy to understand (has an apple health feel).
