Why choose Coachli over Paperbell
Paperbell is a solid coaching platform built specifically for managing 1-on-1 and group coaching. It handles booking, payments, contracts and client intake — making it a favourite among coaches who want a streamlined workflow. Plans start at $57 per month.
The biggest difference is video. Paperbell requires Zoom for all video sessions. Coachli has built-in video calls for both 1-on-1 sessions and live events — your clients just click a link, no app downloads needed. Sessions and events are recorded automatically, so you can share replays or review coaching conversations later.
Coachli also lets you sell digital products — ebooks, courses, templates and more — alongside your coaching sessions. Paperbell is session-only. This means coaches using Paperbell need a separate platform to sell digital products, while Coachli handles everything in one place.
For coaches in Africa, Paperbell only supports Stripe. Coachli integrates with Paystack and Flutterwave for accepting payments in Naira, Cedis and other local currencies. And Coachli is free — no monthly fees, just a small transaction fee when you make a sale.
