There comes a pivotal moment in every growing coaching practice when the tools you started with no longer match the team you've become. The focus shifts from individual management to collective success, from "my clients" to "our clients," and from "my calendar" to "our shared availability."
This transition is the most critical step in your scaling journey. It requires a partner that understands the unique dynamics of a multi-coach environment; one where alignment, consistency, and shared visibility are built into the core of the experience.
If your current setup is creating more work than it saves, it's time to discover a platform designed for the way you work now and the practice you're building for the future.
Before we dive into features, let's frame the key philosophical difference.
This fundamental difference shapes every aspect of the user experience.
We recently spoke with an executive coach who was in the exact same position as you. They had trialed both SimplyCoach and Delenta. Here’s what swayed their decision:
Paul’s story is a powerful case study in what matters when choosing a coaching platform. While both platforms offered similar core features (scheduling, session packages, client portals), the deciding factors came down to three key areas:
When asked what the "big difference" was, Paul didn't first mention a specific tool. He said:
"The big difference for me was user experience. I'm not a coder. I'm not a programmer. I didn't have the time or the interest to go in and do what was required for SimplyCoach... Whereas the way that you guys have set up the user experience, user interface was really simple, really intuitive."
This is the core differentiator. Both platforms offer scheduling, payments, and client management. But how easy and enjoyable are they to use—for you and your clients?
Paul’s primary concern wasn't just his own ease of use, but the impression the platform would make on his clients. This is where Delenta’s client-centric design truly shone for him.
"I was thinking about the user experience for my coaches, my clients. I want them to have a nice, sleek, pleasant experience... SimplyCoach's solution was not that. It was a technical solution, it wasn't a client-centric solution. Whereas your portal and your app felt much more client-centric. For me, that made a massive difference."
A clunky, technical-feeling portal can subconsciously undermine your professionalism. A sleek, intuitive interface, on the other hand, builds trust and reinforces the quality of your service from the first interaction.
A platform is only as good as the team behind it. Paul’s experience highlights a stark contrast in customer support approaches. He shared a telling example about calendar integration, a common hurdle for coaches.
With SimplyCoach, when he faced an issue integrating his Microsoft Outlook calendar, the support response was sharp and unhelpful: "Oh, well, you're using the free version of Outlook that doesn't integrate. You've got to use the paid version."
Compare this to his experience with Delenta:
"With you guys, it was the same answer, but someone talked me through it and said, 'Right, this is what you need to do and these are the options available.' That's all I needed. Just someone to hold my hand... And as soon as I did that, the integrations were great."
This is the difference between being just another ticket and being a valued partner. We believe in providing supportive, hands-on guidance to ensure you can get the most out of the platform, no matter your technical skill level.
This feedback highlights a crucial point: the best choice isn't just about the features you need now, but about the platform that will empower your growth for the next 2-3 years.
