Why coaches switch
Why coaches move to Hubabble
Your sessions, in your own video room
When a client books, the video room is already there inside Hubabble, private to the two of you. No connecting Zoom, no pasting links, no separate app open in another tab. Paperbell sends clients to an outside tool you set up and manage yourself.
More of your practice in one place
Scheduling, client notes, agreements, your video room, and your website all live in one login, with client payments on the way. Most coaches come to Hubabble to stop stitching a calendar, a document signer, a website, and a video app together.
Built for coaches, not a generic CRM
Every confirmation and reminder sounds like you, not corporate template language. The whole workspace is shaped around coaching sessions and the relationship, down to the words on the page.
Feature by feature
A fair, plain look at each piece
Paperbell is a good tool. Where it matches or leads Hubabble, we say so. Where Hubabble pulls ahead, we show you why.
- Scheduling
- Both Hubabble and Paperbell let clients self-book, translate time zones, and send reminders on their own. This is table stakes, and both do it well.
- Video sessions
- This is the clearest difference. Hubabble includes your own private video room, built in. Paperbell has no video of its own. It attaches a link from a Zoom or Google Meet account you connect and manage yourself. If most of your sessions happen over video, having the room in the same place as the booking and the notes saves a real amount of weekly friction.
- Client management
- Both keep client records, notes, and history. Hubabble puts everything about a client on one page next to the calendar: recent sessions, agreements, action items, and your private notes.
- Coaching agreements and e-sign
- Both include e-signed agreements. Send a coaching agreement, get it back signed, with no PDFs flying around your inbox. This is a real strength of Paperbell too, so call it a tie.
- Payments
- Paperbell lets you sell coaching packages and single sessions today, with no platform fee on top. Client payments in Hubabble are on the way. When they open, we will take no cut of your coaching revenue either, only the standard processing fee. For now, Paperbell leads here.
- Your coaching website
- Hubabble includes a coach website, so new clients can read about you, book a discovery call, and reach out. Paperbell focuses on booking and sales pages for your offers. Those work well for selling a package, and they are lighter than a full site.
Pricing
Pricing, in plain language
Paperbell keeps pricing refreshingly simple, and Hubabble plans open soon. The difference is what comes bundled.
Hubabble
Plans open soon
Three flat plans, each a complete practice, and never a per-client fee. When client payments arrive, Hubabble takes no cut. The free Hubabble Community is open now.
Paperbell
$57 / month
One plan with all features, about $47.50 a month if you pay yearly. There is a free plan for a single client to try it out, and no platform fee on client payments.
The headline difference is what is bundled. Hubabble folds in your video room and a full coach website. Paperbell asks you to bring your own video and leans on booking and sales pages, and it takes client payments today.

Common questions
Questions coaches ask
Still deciding? Send a note to hello@hubabble.com. A real person answers.
Is Hubabble a good alternative to Paperbell?
It can be. Hubabble is an all-in-one platform built for life coaches. It bundles scheduling, your own video room, client notes, e-signed agreements, and a coach website in one login, with client payments on the way. Paperbell covers scheduling, agreements, and payments well, but sends your sessions to an outside tool like Zoom or Google Meet. If you want your video sessions in the same place as everything else, Hubabble is the closer fit.
Does Hubabble have built-in video sessions?
Yes. Every session opens in your own private video room, with no separate app or link to manage. Paperbell does not include video and instead attaches a link from a tool you connect yourself.
How does Hubabble pricing compare to Paperbell?
Paperbell has one plan at $57 a month. Hubabble plans open soon, with more built in: your own video room, a full coach website, and the tools that help new clients find you. Paperbell takes no cut of the payments your clients make to you, and when Hubabble's client payments open, neither will we.
Can I move my coaching practice from Paperbell to Hubabble?
Yes. Importing your client list is on the way. Until then, email hello@hubabble.com and we will help you plan the move: what to export from Paperbell, what to set up first, and how to keep Paperbell running while you settle in, so nothing goes dark on your clients.
Who is Hubabble best for?
Life coaches launching or growing a practice who want scheduling, video, client notes, and agreements working together instead of stitched across several apps. It is an especially natural fit for coaches who run most of their sessions over video.
