The Practice alternative
Practice (practice.do) is a client-management tool for coaches, consultants and tutors: scheduling, a client portal, session notes, forms, packages and built-in invoicing and payments, with iOS and Android apps. Exantur is a EU-hosted, coaching-native alternative that goes deeper on the coaching work itself, structured notes, programs, goals, accountability and check-ins, rather than on booking and billing.
This is an honest comparison of where the two differ. Both manage clients well; the right choice depends on what you weigh most.
Where Exantur is different
Exantur stores all data in the EU (Frankfurt) under GDPR, with a DPA available. It is built around the coaching relationship: structured session notes across observations, insights, breakthroughs and action points, programs, goals with progress, accountability items and configurable check-ins between sessions. The depth is in coaching documentation, not business administration.
Where Practice is strong
Practice builds scheduling, invoicing and payments directly into the product, with native mobile apps. If you want booking and billing in the same tool that holds your client records, that all-in-one business admin is a genuine strength Exantur does not match.
An honest note
Exantur does not include native scheduling or payment processing; it focuses on the practice of coaching. If built-in booking and invoicing are central to your decision, Practice covers them and Exantur does not.
How to decide
Choose Exantur if EU data residency and deep, structured coaching documentation and accountability matter most, and you handle scheduling and payments elsewhere. Choose Practice if built-in scheduling, invoicing and mobile apps outweigh data-location and coaching-specific depth for you.
