When Soap Notes is the better choice
If documenting sessions matters to how you coach, Soap Notes is built for it: structured SOAP notes with reusable templates, alongside scheduling, invoicing, and a client portal, and it starts free. Satori keeps only basic coaching logs, so if you want proper session documentation, or simply a free way to begin, Soap Notes is the better fit.
When Satori is the better choice
If your business runs on selling and onboarding programs, Satori is excellent: polished client discovery, packages, contracts, and payments in one place. For a coach whose main need is enrolling clients into structured programs rather than writing detailed session notes, Satori's onboarding depth is worth the cost.
