Why coaches switch
Three reasons coaches move to Hubabble
Your sessions, in your own video room
When a client books, the video room is already there inside Hubabble with your name on it. 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.
Everything in one place
Scheduling, client notes, agreements, payments, and your website all live in one login. Most coaches come to Hubabble to stop stitching a calendar, a document signer, a payment page, and a video app together.
Built for coaches, not a generic CRM
Every confirmation, reminder, and receipt 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 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 branded 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, payments, and your private notes.
- Coaching agreements and e-sign
- Both include e-signed agreements in the base price. 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
- Both let you sell coaching packages and single sessions, and neither takes a cut of your coaching revenue. You pay only the standard processing fee from the payments partner. Another tie.
- 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
Both keep pricing refreshingly simple. The difference is the monthly number and what comes bundled with it.
Hubabble
From $59 / month
Three plans from $59 to $299 a month, each a complete practice. Three months free to start, no card, and CTEDU certificants get those three months automatically. Never a per-client fee or a cut of your coaching revenue.
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.
Honest fit
Who each one is best for
We would rather you land in the right place than just sign up. Here is the honest version.
Hubabble is a great fit if
- Most of your sessions happen over video.
- You want one login instead of five browser tabs.
- You want confirmations, reminders, and your site to sound like you.
- You are launching or growing a one-to-one coaching practice.
Paperbell might fit better if
- You already run sessions on a Zoom or Meet setup you love and would rather keep it separate.
- You sell a lot of self-paced content or run cohort and group programs.
- You want the longest track record on the market today.
