The Nudge Coach alternative

Nudge Coach closed in April 2025 and its users were prompted to export their data. If you relied on it for between-session engagement, habit trackers, messaging and a branded client app, you need a replacement that will still be here next year.

The abrupt part of any shutdown is not just losing a tool, it is losing the continuity your clients were used to. The priority when choosing a successor is therefore twofold: cover the features you actually used, and pick something stable and clear about where it stores your data, so you are not repeating this migration in a year. Exantur is EU-hosted under GDPR with a DPA available, and you remain the data controller for your clients.

Several things Nudge Coach users valued have a home in Exantur: native habit-trackers with streaks and configurable check-ins, a coachee portal for the client-side experience, programs that run over weeks, and an optional white-label add-on so the portal carries your brand. On top of that, Exantur adds structured session documentation, accountability and a client-facing AI companion that Nudge Coach did not focus on.

For a former Nudge Coach user, the day-to-day rhythm can look familiar: clients check in, streaks build, and you see engagement at a glance. The difference is that each check-in and habit now sits against a full client record, next to the goals you set, the notes you keep and the accountability you track, so the engagement data means something in the context of the coaching rather than living in a separate app.

Exantur is coaching practice management with habit-tracking built in, not a consumer habit-tracking app. It is centered on the coaching relationship and its documentation as much as on daily streaks and push notifications. If your entire model was consumer-style habit tracking through a native app, weigh that difference honestly.

Concretely, that means Exantur's client experience is a branded web portal (white-label add-on) rather than a separate downloadable consumer app in the app stores. Coaches who mainly wanted a habit app with their logo on it should factor that in; coaches who wanted the habit-tracking as one part of a documented, accountable coaching relationship will find the trade a good one.

Beyond replacing what you lost, moving to Exantur adds the parts of running a practice that a pure engagement app never covered. Booking with automatic reminders and two-way Google and Outlook calendar sync handle the scheduling; client invoicing through your own connected Stripe account (Stripe Connect, 0% platform fee, with iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA and card and EU-valid VAT invoices, from the Starter plan up) handles getting paid; and structured session notes plus goals with dated coach and coachee ratings handle the documentation. So the migration is not just finding a like-for-like, it is a chance to consolidate the tools that used to sit around Nudge Coach into one workspace.
