For your setup, I’d shortlist CoachVantage first, with CoachAccountable as the stronger-but-heavier alternative.

My pick: coachvantage.com

It fits a two-coach boutique agency with uneven revenue unusually well:

• 1:1: supports packages, pay-as-you-go/session-by-session coaching, scheduling, payments, contracts, and client portals. CoachVantage
• Groups: supports group programs and cohorts, so you can run a cohort alongside individual coaching. CoachVantage
• Irregular cash flow: you can charge one-time, installment, or recurring monthly payments through Stripe/PayPal rather than committing clients to a single upfront payment. CoachVantage
• Low fixed cost: the Aha! plan is currently $49/month ($44/month annually) and includes unlimited group programs and 1:1 program sales pages. CoachVantage
• No platform commission: CoachVantage says it doesn't charge commissions on sales; you pay the normal payment-processor fees. CoachVantage

The catch: revenue splitting

This is the one place I'd not assume the platform does what you mean.

If by "simple revenue split" you mean something like:

Client pays $2,000 → Coach A gets 60%, Coach B gets 40%

CoachVantage doesn't appear to have native automated coach payouts/split payments. I'd instead use one business Stripe account + a simple monthly coach-compensation report.

If you want the platform to help administer a genuine multi-coach practice, coachaccountable.com is worth a look. Its Team Edition supports multiple coaches, client-to-coach assignment, team reporting, and coach-hour reports. It explicitly says it doesn't move money from the business to coaches, though, so the actual revenue split still happens outside the platform. CoachAccountable CoachAccountable

What I'd choose

I would start with CoachVantage, keep all client revenue flowing through the agency, and calculate the two coaches' shares monthly. That avoids paying for a heavyweight enterprise system before your cash flow warrants it.

One important distinction: Paperbell is arguably even simpler and cheaper for 1:1 + small groups ($57/month), but it's fundamentally oriented toward individual coaches rather than a two-coach agency with shared revenue. Paperbell Paperbell

If your revenue split is specifically "the coach who delivers the session gets X%, agency keeps Y%", I can also recommend the cleanest platform + Stripe + bookkeeping workflow for that model.

For a 2-coach boutique coaching agency with uneven monthly revenue, I’d prioritize low fixed cost + multi-coach support + ability to split payouts cleanly. You probably don’t need a heavyweight enterprise LMS yet.

My top recommendation:

Best fit: Practice.do + Stripe Connect (or manual coach payouts)

Why it fits

• Built around coaching delivery rather than just courses
• Supports client management, notes, packages, scheduling, and recurring coaching relationships
• Better suited to a two-coach team than solo-coach tools
• Lets you keep your own brand/client relationship

Tradeoff: it’s more of a coaching operations platform than a “sell a group cohort with community” platform, so you may still want a community/course layer later. www.coachli.co

If your priority is cash-flow flexibility: Talkspresso

This is worth looking at because your revenue is irregular:

• No large upfront commitment
• Supports 1:1 sessions, group programs, workshops, booking, video, and payments
• Uses a transaction-based model rather than forcing a large monthly subscription talkspresso.com

Best for: a boutique agency still testing offers and volume.

Potential issue: revenue splitting between two internal coaches may require checking whether their payout model matches your desired arrangement.

If group programs are becoming your main offer: Kajabi

Good for:

• Cohort programs
• Courses
• Membership/community
• Email marketing funnels
• Higher-ticket offers

Less ideal for:

• Simple two-person revenue splits
• Lean operations during slow months

Many coaching businesses use it once they have predictable sales volume. coachtoolery.com

What I would avoid for your situation

• Enterprise coaching CRMs: too much overhead for two coaches.
• Pure scheduling tools (Calendly + Zoom + Stripe): cheap, but you’ll end up stitching together client records, programs, and group delivery.
• Course-first platforms if most revenue still comes from human coaching.

My suggested setup for your agency

Stage 1 (now: irregular revenue)

• Coaching platform with transaction-friendly pricing
• Stripe for payments
• Simple coach split rule:
  • Agency keeps X%
  • Delivering coach receives Y%
  • Shared costs deducted before split

Stage 2 (predictable cohorts)

• Move group programs into a stronger community/course platform
• Keep 1:1 delivery separate if needed

If I were choosing for a two-coach boutique today, I’d shortlist:

1. Talkspresso — lowest risk while revenue fluctuates
2. Practice.do — strongest coaching-business foundation
3. Kajabi — when group programs become a major revenue stream

The deciding question is: are your two coaches independent contractors who need automatic payouts, or are they partners/employees where you just need internal revenue tracking? That changes the best choice quite a bit.

For a two-coach boutique agency with irregular cash flow, I’d shortlist CoachAccountable first.

My pick: CoachAccountable

CoachAccountable is unusually well matched to your setup because it covers:

• 1:1 coaching: scheduling, recurring appointments, session notes, client plans, reminders, and Zoom integration.
• Group programs: group sessions, shared resources, metrics, assignments, and discussion.
• Programs/courses: useful if your group offering becomes a repeatable cohort.
• Two coaches: its Team Edition supports multiple coaches without charging extra per team member; you can pair individual clients with the appropriate coach. CoachAccountable CoachAccountable
• Irregular cash flow: pricing is based on active clients rather than requiring a large fixed enterprise commitment. Its current pricing information also says there are no extra charges for team members. CoachAccountable CoachAccountable
• Revenue split: this is the important caveat—it doesn't actually split/move revenue between coaches. It can report appointment hours/activity, giving you the numbers to calculate your agreed split, but payroll/coach payouts remain outside the platform. CoachAccountable

So I'd use a simple model such as:

Client pays agency → CoachAccountable tracks the engagement → monthly report shows each coach's sessions/revenue → agency calculates the agreed percentage → coaches are paid through your normal accounting/payroll process.

That is probably cleaner for a two-person agency than introducing a platform whose main selling point is marketplace-style revenue sharing.

Runner-up: Kajabi

Kajabi is stronger if selling and marketing group programs is becoming a major part of the business. It supports both 1:1 and group coaching, built-in scheduling/payments, recurring or one-time offers, community, email automation, and live group sessions. Kajabi

The tradeoff: it's more of an all-in-one business/marketing platform than a lean coaching-operations platform. For two coaches with uneven revenue, I wouldn't pay for all that infrastructure unless you're actually going to use it.

What I'd choose

Bottom line: Start with CoachAccountable. It gives you the coaching infrastructure you actually need without forcing a small two-coach agency into a heavyweight marketing stack. Keep the revenue split outside the platform—e.g., 60/40 per delivered session or a percentage of collected revenue—and use its activity reports to reconcile it monthly.

If by “revenue split” you specifically mean the platform should automatically collect a client's payment and send Coach A 60% / Coach B 40%, that's a different requirement. In that case, I'd evaluate payment platforms specifically around Stripe Connect-style split payouts, rather than choosing purely from coaching software.

For a 2-coach boutique coaching agency with irregular cash flow, I’d prioritize platforms that:

1. Don’t lock you into a large monthly commitment
2. Let each coach run their own sessions/programs
3. Handle payments automatically
4. Make revenue sharing easy (coach split, agency fee, or payout rules)

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your specific situation

I’d choose one of these two setups:

Option A — Lowest risk while cash flow is uneven

Talkspresso or Lokul

• Minimal upfront cost
• Payments collected at booking
• Easier when revenue fluctuates
• Less admin around splitting money between two coaches talkspresso.comlokul.app

Good if:

• You’re still validating offers
• Each coach has separate clients
• You want money flow automated

Option B — Build a more valuable agency asset

Practice Better + Stripe + bookkeeping split

• Agency owns the client experience
• Coaches deliver sessions
• You can pay coaches 60/40, 70/30, flat fee, etc.
• Better long-term if you plan to add coaches

How I’d structure revenue splits internally

For a two-coach boutique agency, keep it simple:

1:1 clients

• Coach who delivers: 60–75%
• Agency: 25–40% (marketing, admin, platform, sales)

Group programs

• Lead coach: 40–50%
• Supporting coach: 20–30%
• Agency: 20–40%

Agency-generated leads

• Higher agency share

Coach-owned leads

• Higher coach share

I would avoid choosing a platform purely because it “splits revenue.” A platform taking 10–20% of every transaction can become expensive once you’re doing consistent volume. For a small agency, owning the payment flow and doing your own split often gives you more control.

If you expect under ~$10k/month revenue for the next year, I’d lean toward a low-fixed-cost tool. If you expect to scale to multiple coaches and cohorts, I’d build around a practice-management platform instead.

For a 2-coach boutique agency with irregular cash flow, I’d shortlist these:

1. Best fit: CoachAccountable

CoachAccountable

This is probably the strongest fit if your priority is coaching operations rather than marketing.

• Supports 1:1 coaching, groups, courses, recurring billing, packages, scheduling, notes, and client portals. www.coachaccountable.com
• Pricing starts at $20/month for 2 active clients, then scales with active clients rather than requiring a large fixed subscription. That's particularly attractive with irregular cash flow. www.coachaccountable.com
• Doesn't take a percentage of your coaching revenue; payment processing fees come from Stripe, Square, or PayPal. www.coachaccountable.com
• Its team edition lets you pair clients with particular coaches and gives you reporting on coach activity/hours—useful for calculating your internal revenue split. www.coachaccountable.com

Caveat: it doesn't actually distribute money to coaches. You'd use its reports to calculate, say, a 60/40 split and pay the coach separately. www.coachaccountable.com

2. Best if you want true automated revenue splitting: Better Coaching

Better Coaching

This is unusually well aligned with your two-coach agency + revenue split requirement. It uses Stripe Connect so each coach can connect their own Stripe account, while the agency keeps a configurable platform fee from each transaction. bettercoachapp.comwww.coachaccountable.com

It also supports:

• 1:1 booking and live sessions
• Group webinars/programs
• Payments
• Coach-specific payouts
• Your own branded domain
• No per-coach seat charge

So, for example, you could structure a $1,000 program as 70% to the delivering coach / 30% agency, with the platform handling the underlying payout flow.

Caveat: it's a newer/nicher platform, so I'd pilot it with a small program before making it your core system.

3. Kajabi — best if marketing is becoming the bigger problem

Kajabi

Kajabi is much more of an all-in-one business platform. It supports both 1:1 and group coaching, scheduling, recurring/one-time payments, community, email automation, checkout, and program delivery. bettercoachapp.comwww.kajabi.comwww.coachaccountable.com

I'd choose it if you expect to sell group cohorts + courses + memberships + coaching and want marketing infrastructure in the same system.

But for your current situation, I wouldn't pay for Kajabi's broader ecosystem unless you actually need it.

My recommendation

For a two-person agency, I'd start with Better Coaching if automated splits are a must-have; otherwise, CoachAccountable is the safer, more established operational choice.

One important distinction: “revenue split” can mean two different things. If you mean “the platform should automatically send 70% to Coach A and 30% to the agency”, Better Coaching is the standout. If you simply mean “track each coach's revenue so we can settle up monthly”, CoachAccountable is likely the better value. bettercoachapp.comwww.coachaccountable.com

For a two-coach boutique agency with uneven revenue, I’d shortlist CoachAccountable and Paperbell, with CoachAccountable as the better agency fit.

My pick: CoachAccountable.

It specifically supports a coaching team without charging extra per team member, lets you pair coaches with particular clients, and provides reporting on appointment activity. That makes it much easier to calculate something like “Coach A gets 40% of collected revenue from these clients; Coach B gets 50% from those programs.” It doesn't actually transfer the money between your agency and coaches, though—you'd use the reports to calculate payouts and handle them through payroll/accounting. www.coachaccountable.com

It also handles 1:1 sessions, group coaching, courses/programs, scheduling, invoicing, and payments through Stripe/Square/PayPal. Importantly for irregular cash flow, its subscription is based on active clients, so you can deactivate clients during slow periods rather than paying based on seats or a large fixed enterprise plan. www.coachaccountable.com

When I'd choose Paperbell instead

Paperbell is the better choice if simplicity is more important than agency accounting. It's currently $57/month, with unlimited clients/sessions and no additional transaction fee from Paperbell. It supports 1:1 packages, subscriptions, payment plans, group programs, and even packages mixing group and 1:1 sessions. paperbell.com

The catch is your revenue split: Paperbell sends payments directly to the coach's Stripe/PayPal account rather than holding the funds, so it's not really designed as a central agency → coach commission system. www.coachaccountable.comwww.coachaccountable.compaperbell.com

Bottom line:

• Agency with two coaches + evolving revenue-share arrangements → CoachAccountable
• Very lean operation where one person mostly administers everything → Paperbell
• I would not overbuy an enterprise/creator platform yet given your irregular cash flow.

If your split is something specific like 50/50 on 1:1, 30/70 on group programs, and the agency keeps payment-processing fees, CoachAccountable is the one I'd investigate first.

For a 2-coach boutique agency with uneven cash flow, I’d prioritize a platform that has:

1. Low fixed cost (so slow months don’t hurt)
2. Built-in payments (collect before sessions)
3. Support for both private coaching and cohorts
4. Simple coach payout/revenue sharing (avoid manual spreadsheets)

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your exact setup

Start with Talkspresso or Paperbell.

• Choose Talkspresso if your priority is:
  • minimizing monthly overhead
  • getting paid upfront
  • running both 1:1 and group sessions without assembling tools

agiled.apptalkspresso.com

• Choose Paperbell if your priority is:
  • premium coaching packages
  • client agreements
  • a polished purchase → contract → booking workflow

agiled.app

For a two-coach agency, I’d probably structure revenue internally like this:

• Agency account owns all offers and payments
• Each program has a coach assignment
• Split rules:
  • 1:1 sessions: e.g., 60–75% coach / 25–40% agency
  • Group programs: e.g., 40–60% delivery pool / remainder for marketing, admin, platform, sales
  • Lead generation bonus: extra percentage if one coach brings the client

I would avoid a platform that forces you into a marketplace split unless you specifically want lead generation. For an established boutique agency, keeping the customer relationship and controlling your margins is usually more valuable.

If you tell me:

• your monthly client volume,
• average 1:1 price,
• group program price,
• whether both coaches are contractors or partners,

I can narrow this to one platform and a payout model.

For a 2-coach boutique agency with uneven monthly revenue, I’d prioritize:

1. Low fixed cost (avoid paying for unused capacity)
2. Client payments before delivery (reduce cash-flow swings)
3. Both private + cohort delivery
4. Simple coach payout tracking (especially if one coach owns delivery and you split revenue)

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your specific setup

Best overall: Mentoring Page + Stripe

• Create offers:
  • Coach A 1:1 package
  • Coach B 1:1 package
  • Joint group program
  • Premium hybrid package (group + private sessions)
• Each coach can receive their own revenue stream, or you can reconcile a shared pool.
• Lower risk during slow months because you are not paying a large SaaS bill. mentoringpage.com

Best if cash flow is very unpredictable: Talkspresso

• The transaction-based model is attractive when you have months with few clients because costs rise only when revenue comes in. talkspresso.com

Best if your agency is becoming a “program business”: Practice Better or Ruzuku

• Choose these if your value is in a repeatable framework, curriculum, worksheets, milestones, and cohorts rather than just calls. www.ruzuku.com

For your revenue split, I’d avoid relying on the platform

Most coaching platforms are built for one coach → one business, not a two-coach agency. A simple internal model usually works better:

• 1:1 sessions: coach keeps 70–80%, agency keeps 20–30% for marketing/admin
• Group programs: split after expenses (e.g., 50/50 if both coaches deliver; 60/40 if one leads)
• Lead ownership: define whether inbound leads belong to the agency or the individual coach

For a two-person boutique agency, I would not overbuild this. A lightweight platform plus a clear monthly payout spreadsheet is usually enough until you have several coaches or a large client base.

For a two-coach boutique agency with irregular cash flow, I’d prioritize low fixed cost + 1:1/group support + easy payment collection over a feature-heavy enterprise platform.

My top pick: Paperbell

Paperbell is probably the best fit if by “revenue split” you mean you want to sell through one agency account and then divide revenue between the two coaches yourselves.

Why:

• Supports 1:1 packages, group coaching, and mixed 1:1 + group packages. paperbell.com
• Handles payments, payment plans, contracts, scheduling and client onboarding in one place. paperbell.com
• Its relatively simple model is better suited to a small agency than a heavyweight coaching CRM.
• Most importantly for irregular cash flow, you're not buying a huge infrastructure stack just to support two coaches.

Caveat: Paperbell doesn't appear to provide a native “Coach A gets 60%, Coach B gets 40%” payout mechanism. I'd treat the agency as the merchant of record and pay coaches from the agency's collected revenue.

If automated revenue splitting is the priority

Take a look at ArkHub. It supports both 1:1 services and group/cohort programs and uses a revenue-share model rather than a subscription. It says 1:1 service revenue is split 85% to the educator / 15% to ArkHub, while programs are 75% / 25%. arkhub.com

That's attractive for irregular cash flow because you're paying the platform when you earn rather than carrying another monthly SaaS bill. The tradeoff is that it's more of an educator marketplace/platform model than a polished private agency operating system.

What I'd choose for your agency

If your “revenue split” means “Client pays $2,000 → automatically send 60% to Coach A and 40% to Coach B”, that's the one requirement that changes my recommendation. In that case, I'd look specifically for a Stripe Connect-style platform with multi-party payouts, rather than a conventional coaching platform.

For your size, I'd favor simple agency-controlled accounting over paying a platform a percentage of every sale unless automated payouts are worth the tradeoff.

For a 2-coach boutique agency with uneven monthly revenue, I’d shortlist these:

1. Practice Better — best overall fit

This is the one I’d pick if you want one system for both coaches, rather than stitching together scheduling + payments + group-program software.

• 1:1 coaching: scheduling, video sessions, payments, client portal, packages.
• Group programs: group scheduling/chat, fixed-date programs, evergreen programs, memberships, and payment plans. practicebetter.io
• Two coaches: the Team plan starts at $155/month and includes 2 practitioner licenses. practicebetter.iopracticebetter.io
• Revenue split: this is where it gets interesting. You can either have the agency centrally collect payments through managed billing, or let each coach connect their own payment processor. Practice Better also supports shared packages and joint programs. practicebetter.io

Why it fits your irregular cash flow: you can keep fixed software overhead relatively predictable while handling coach compensation separately. For example, the agency could collect all revenue, then pay Coach A/B their agreed percentage each month.

Downside: $155/month is a meaningful fixed cost when revenue is lumpy, and Practice Better is somewhat more "practice management" oriented than a pure coaching-sales platform.

2. Paperbell — best if simplicity matters most

Paperbell is much simpler: $57/month, unlimited clients/sessions, packages, scheduling, payments, contracts, and client portal, with no additional transaction fee. paperbell.com

I'd consider it if your group programs are relatively straightforward and you don't need sophisticated team management.

The catch for your use case is the two-coach/revenue-split model. Paperbell is fundamentally designed around individual coaches, so you'd likely need an agreed internal process for allocating revenue rather than getting the kind of team billing controls Practice Better provides.

My recommendation

Choose Practice Better Team if your business model is:

Agency sells → client pays agency → revenue gets allocated between the two coaches.

It gives you the cleanest foundation for 1:1 + cohorts/group programs + two coaches + centralized finances. The Team plan explicitly supports both centralized managed billing and independent practitioner billing, which is unusually useful for a small agency. practicebetter.iopracticebetter.io

If your priority is instead "keep our fixed costs as low as possible and don't over-engineer this," I'd go with Paperbell.

One important distinction: neither platform appears to provide a native "automatically split every $1 received 60/40 between Coach A and Coach B" model. I'd therefore define the revenue split contractually (e.g., 60% coach / 40% agency after payment processing) and use the platform's reporting/payment data to settle it monthly. Practice Better is considerably better suited to that arrangement because of its team/managed-billing functionality. practicebetter.io

If you tell me your typical monthly revenue, average 1:1 price, group-program price, and desired coach/agency split, I can compare the economics of these two for you.

For a two-coach boutique agency with uneven revenue, I’d prioritize low fixed cost, flexible payment collection, and—crucially—easy handling of coach payouts.

My top pick: Better Coaching

Better Coaching is the closest match to your requirements.

• 1:1: booking, payment, calendar invites, live video, and recordings are built in.
• Groups: supports group webinars/live coaching.
• Two coaches: it is explicitly designed for multi-coach businesses.
• Revenue split: Stripe Connect lets each coach connect their own Stripe account, while your agency takes a configurable platform fee from each transaction. Payouts go directly to the coach. bettercoachapp.com
• Irregular cash flow: the economics are transaction-oriented rather than requiring a large per-coach SaaS commitment, which is attractive when some months are quiet.

The big advantage is that you can structure something like agency 20% / coach 80% without manually reconciling every session. Stripe Connect supports configurable splits and payout timing as well. stripe.com

Runner-up: Paperbell — if you don't need automated splitting

Paperbell is probably the simplest coaching-specific platform. It handles 1:1 packages, group programs, mixed 1:1 + group packages, subscriptions, payment plans, scheduling, contracts and client management. It's currently $57/month, with unlimited clients/sessions/packages. paperbell.com

But there's a major catch for you: Paperbell is designed for one coach per account. Each coach receives payments into their own Stripe/PayPal account, so it doesn't natively function as an agency with automatic revenue splitting. paperbell.com

You could run two Paperbell accounts and reconcile the agency share manually, but I'd avoid that if revenue splitting is an important part of your operating model.

What I'd choose

Recommendation: start with Better Coaching if the agency wants to own the client relationship and automatically retain a percentage of every sale. If each coach is effectively an independent business and you're comfortable settling the split manually, Paperbell is the simpler and more mature-feeling choice.

One caveat: Better Coaching is a newer/smaller platform than Paperbell, so I'd test the client checkout, Stripe Connect onboarding, refunds, and group-program workflow with a real $1 transaction before migrating your whole operation.

For a two-coach boutique agency with irregular cash flow, I’d lean toward Kajabi if you want one system that can handle both delivery and revenue collection.

Best fit: Kajabi

It supports 1:1 coaching, group/cohort programs, scheduling, client access, payments, and communities in one platform. www.kajabi.com

The biggest advantage for your situation is that you can sell either one-off/recurring coaching or structured group programs without stitching together several tools. Kajabi also says its platform has no revenue-sharing fee; you pay the subscription plus payment-processing fees. www.kajabi.comwww.kajabi.com

For two coaches, the current Basic plan includes 2 admin users, which is a particularly good fit for your team size. www.kajabi.com

One caveat: if by “simple revenue split” you mean automatically splitting each client's payment between Coach A and Coach B, I would not assume Kajabi does that natively. Its payments system handles payouts, but you may need to calculate the coach split internally and pay coaches separately. www.kajabi.comwww.kajabi.com

Alternative: HoneyBook

If your priority is cash-flow flexibility and straightforward financial administration rather than a sophisticated coaching experience, HoneyBook is worth considering. It supports deposits, installments, recurring payments, invoices, and payment schedules, which can be useful when revenue is uneven. help.honeybook.com

But I'd choose Kajabi if group programs are a meaningful part of your business, because its coaching/group-program and community capabilities are much more central to the product.

My recommendation: Kajabi for the client-facing platform + a very simple internal coach-compensation spreadsheet/process for the revenue split. That keeps your fixed software stack small while accommodating irregular revenue.

For a two-coach boutique agency with irregular cash flow, I’d shortlist these:

Best fit: Paperbell

Paperbell is probably the best match if you want simple operations rather than a giant all-in-one platform. It supports 1:1 packages, group coaching, payment plans/subscriptions, and even packages that mix 1:1 and group sessions. paperbell.com

Why I’d choose it: low operational overhead, flexible packaging, and good fit for uneven revenue.

Caveat: its revenue-split/team functionality isn't as strong a match as a platform specifically designed around multiple coaches.

Best for your revenue-split requirement: Better Coaching

This is particularly interesting for your agency because it explicitly supports multiple coaches with Stripe Connect: each coach connects their own Stripe account, payments can go directly to them, and the platform keeps a configurable platform fee. It also handles branded 1:1 booking and group webinars. bettercoachapp.com

That makes it the most directly aligned with a "client pays → coach gets their share → agency gets its share" model.

Best if you're building a bigger coaching business: Kajabi Coaching

Kajabi supports both 1:1 and group coaching, structured programs, payments, scheduling, community, and marketing. www.kajabi.com

I'd pick it if you expect to develop courses, memberships, funnels, and a larger content business. For just two coaches with irregular cash flow, though, it may be more platform than you need.

My recommendation

Start by evaluating Better Coaching and Paperbell side-by-side.

• Need clean coach/agency revenue splitting: Better Coaching
• Need the simplest possible coaching business admin: Paperbell
• Need marketing + courses + community + coaching in one ecosystem: Kajabi

One important distinction: if by “revenue split” you mean the platform automatically calculates and distributes, say, 60% to Coach A and 40% to the agency, Better Coaching is the strongest fit of these options because its Stripe Connect model is explicitly built for multi-coach payouts. bettercoachapp.com

If you tell me roughly monthly revenue, typical session price, and your desired coach/agency split, I can narrow this to the most economical setup.

For a 2-coach boutique coaching agency with uneven monthly revenue, I’d prioritize:

1. Low fixed cost (avoid a big SaaS bill during slow months)
2. Built-in payments (reduce chasing invoices)
3. Separate coach attribution (know who earned what)
4. 1:1 + cohort/group delivery in the same system
5. Simple split rules (e.g., Coach A gets 60%, agency keeps 40%)

My shortlist:

My recommendation for your situation

Best overall: HoneyBook + a simple payout process
For a two-person agency, I would avoid overbuilding. Use:

• HoneyBook for:
  • discovery calls
  • contracts
  • client onboarding
  • invoices/payment plans
  • package sales

• A scheduling/video tool your coaches already like for delivery

• A monthly revenue spreadsheet or accounting rule:
  • Revenue received
  • Payment processing fees
  • Agency percentage
  • Coach percentage
  • Coach payout date

This is usually cleaner than forcing a platform to manage splits.

If you want everything in one place:

I’d look at Talkspresso or similar lightweight coaching platforms first because your cash flow is irregular and they avoid a large monthly commitment. Talkspresso specifically positions itself around booking, video, payments, and group coaching with transaction-based pricing. talkspresso.com

If your group programs are becoming your main revenue:

Use Ruzuku or Kajabi for the program layer, then keep coach compensation separate. Group coaching platforms are generally stronger at curriculum/community than at agency-style commission accounting. www.ruzuku.com

A simple split structure I’d use for a two-coach agency:

• Agency-generated lead: 50/50 or 60/40 agency/coach
• Coach-generated lead: 20–30% agency fee
• Group program delivery: split by teaching hours or enrollment ownership

One question changes the recommendation quite a bit: do you need the platform to automatically pay each coach their share, or is a monthly internal payout process acceptable?
