The Practice (getpractice.io) alternative

Practice (getpractice.io, later practice.do) was a well-funded all-in-one platform for coaches and consultants, with a loyal base of solo practitioners. On 3 November 2025 its founder announced the company would close after an acquisition process fell through. There was no buyer, no pivot and no read-only archive: the app simply went offline.

What survived the shutdown lives outside Practice. If you exported your client list as a CSV before the closure, you still have it. Payment history stays in your own Stripe dashboard, and any appointments synced to Google Calendar or iCal remain in those calendars. Anything held only inside Practice, notes, forms and contracts, is most likely unrecoverable.

Because Practice is gone, this is a rebuild rather than a live-tool migration. The pieces you kept map cleanly onto Exantur: import your exported client CSV, reconnect the same Stripe account for invoicing, and reconnect Google or Outlook so your calendar stays in sync. Most coaches bring their active clients across first and recreate their programs and note structure before adding the rest.

One practical difference: in Exantur everything lives on a single record per client, the coaching relationship, with its programs, sessions, goals, accountability and documents in one place, rather than spread across a hub, a scheduler and a billing tab. That is the workflow you are rebuilding, and it is the organizing idea of the product.

Where Practice was built around the business admin of coaching, the client hub, billing and contracts, Exantur is built around the coaching itself and keeps every record in the EU under the GDPR, with a Data Processing Agreement on request. It still covers the admin you had: online self-booking with reminders, and client invoicing through your own connected Stripe account, so European clients pay by iDEAL, Bancontact, SEPA or card with valid EU VAT. On top of that it adds structured session notes, accountability tracked across sessions, check-ins, habit tracking, goals, assessments and a coachee portal.

Exantur is a strong fit if you want your client data in the EU under the GDPR, and if the coaching work, notes, accountability, goals and a client portal, matters as much to you as the admin around it. It suits solo coaches and small practices that ran their whole business on Practice and want one workspace again.

It may be less of a match if what you valued most in Practice was the lightweight, commerce-first checkout for selling and packaging sessions, with little need for structured coaching documentation. In that case a commerce-first tool may feel more familiar; our best coaching software shortlist lays out the trade-offs honestly.
