Free coaching scheduling app for life coaches

Is there a free coaching scheduling app for life coaches?

Yes. Riverd is a free coaching scheduling app for life coaches on the Brook plan, which covers up to 20 appointments a month with no card to start. Clients book from your practice page, a link you put in your Instagram bio or email signature, and choose between a complimentary discovery call and a paid session, each its own booking type with its own length and price. A reminder email goes out the day before every session on every plan, and on River and Fjord clients with a US or Canadian mobile number also get a text. Each client has a private note for goals and progress that the client never sees. Payment tracking records what each client paid, and card on file runs through your own Square account. Riverd has no package or subscription billing yet, so a coach selling a 12-week program records each payment as it comes in. Compared with coaching scheduling software priced per seat, Riverd's paid plans start at $39 a month billed annually.

ICF-certified coaches and independent practitioners operate under a clear professional distinction: coaching is forward-focused, goal-oriented work, not therapy. Riverd respects that distinction. Session notes are stored encrypted, clients never see them, and no other practitioner on Riverd can read them. Create separate booking types for complimentary discovery calls and paid engagements, set your availability, and let the platform handle scheduling and reminders so you can focus entirely on your clients' progress and goals.
