Mentoring Page vs Payhip

Mentoring Page runs your coaching practice end-to-end. Payhip is a clean digital-product storefront — but coaching uses Calendly + Zoom externally, and 0% transaction fees only kick in at the $99/month Pro tier.

Three things we do better than Payhip for coaches.

Where Mentoring Page is the obvious pick — by design.

Native coaching workflow, not 'connect Calendly'

Payhip's coaching product literally tells you to plug in Calendly and Zoom. That means three tools to manage and no native calendar sync from your storefront. Mentoring Page has booking built in: availability, timezones, ICS feeds, automated reminders, intake forms, and a magic-link client portal — no external scheduler required.

0% fees from day one — without paying $99/month

Payhip charges 5% on Free, 2% on the $29 Plus plan, and only reaches 0% on the $99 Pro plan. At $1,500/month of sales, Payhip Plus costs $29 + $30 = $59/month; Mentoring Page is $37/month with 0% fees. To match our flat-fee model on Payhip, you'd need to pay $99/month for Pro.

Native email broadcasts and automation sequences

Payhip's email marketing is basic — most sellers connect an external ESP like Mailchimp or ConvertKit, which is another subscription. Mentoring Page Coach Pro at $37/month includes broadcasts, automation sequences, lead magnets with first-class email capture, and cart abandonment, so you grow your list inside the same tool that takes payments.

Choose according to your business and workflow.

Both tools are good at what they're built for. The honest question: which job is yours?

TL;DR

Pick Payhip if

  • You sell digital downloads, courses, or physical products — coaching is a side offer
  • Course quizzes, assignments, certificates, and EU / UK VAT handling matter to your business
  • You want a free tier to start and don't mind 2–5% transaction fees until you reach $99/month Pro
TL;DR

Pick Mentoring Page if

  • Coaching sessions, packages, and programs are core — and you want native booking, calendar sync, and reminders, not Calendly + Zoom on the side
  • You want native email broadcasts AND automation sequences from day one — not basic ESP integration
  • You'd rather pay $37/month flat with 0% fees than 2% on $29 Plus or $99 for fee-free Pro
