Coachivas vs Paperbell
A Paperbell alternative that also brings you clients
Paperbell is good software. It schedules sessions, sells packages, sends contracts and takes payment. It does not introduce you to a woman who has never heard of you. Coachivas lists you where women are already looking for a coach, and gives you bookings, My Clients, courses, and a link in bio in the same account.

The short answer
Is Coachivas a Paperbell alternative?
For most solo coaches, yes. Both give you scheduling, payment collection and a client-facing page. Coachivas costs nothing to list once your application is accepted, and it also puts you on Find a coach. Paperbell charges a monthly subscription and sends you no one.
Paperbell is the better choice if your practice depends on a legal e-sign certificate, deep invoicing, or heavy session notes. Those are its strengths.
If not enough people know you exist, software will not fix that. Scheduling features do not create a client who has never heard of you.

Where Paperbell wins
We are not the answer for everyone
If you need a legal e-sign certificate, deep invoicing, and structured notes on a heavy caseload, Paperbell does that better.
If you coach men, or coach both, Coachivas is not for you. This platform is women coaching women, on both sides.
You can use both. Plenty of coaches list here so women can find them, then run contracts and admin in software they already like. We do not ask for exclusivity.

What using Coachivas looks like
Apply, and we read every application. Review usually takes about two working days. We look at who you help, how you coach, and whether that matches the women on this site.
Once accepted you build your profile: photo, story, rate, credentials, and the areas you coach. Tag your specialties and you appear on the matching hubs.
Then choose how you take bookings in Manage Bookings. Paste your Calendly link and she books there. Coachivas takes 0% on Calendly and on Message me. When she pays on Coachivas, the money goes to your Stripe and Coachivas takes 12%. Stripe takes its card fee. A pay link from My Clients stays at 0%.
There is no export or migration to do. Your existing clients stay where they are.
