That’s why we have unique features, like delivering digital downloads with your coaching sessions, facilitating group coaching, the ability to create payment plans, pay-in-full discounts, and much more. Learn more about the 17Hats™ alternative that is custom-built just for your coaching business!
Stop Using a Generic Tool and Start Using a Platform Just for Coaches
17Hats™ is a generic tool that is missing features that many coaches need. Try to sell a group coaching session or a multi-session package with 17Hats™, and you’ll see what we mean.
Paperbell lets you sell multi-session packages, subscriptions, group coaching and more, PLUS scheduling is fully integrated into your client onboarding process. We handle your contract signing, your client notes, and everything else you need for your client admin.
Plus, Paperbell can sell and deliver complex packages. Want to do a group coaching package that also includes a one-hour 1:1 intro call and a 90 minute 1:1 wrap-up? Paperbell can do that.
Why Coaches are Looking for an Alternative to 17Hats™
for Their CRM, Billing & Scheduling
You Don't Want a Complicated Set-Up
17Hats™ requires you to create a “workflow” to do some simple things that Paperbell does automatically, like send an appointment reminder email or include an intake survey for your package.
You Sell More than Just Single Appointments
We’re designed for coaches to sell coaching packages. That means multiple sessions, different call lengths in the same session, combining group and 1:1 sessions, and more. Payment and scheduling for any kind of package, simple or complex, is fully integrated.
You ❤️ Beautiful, Modern Design
Paperbell lets you impress your customers with a gorgeous and up-to-date scheduling and checkout experience. And Paperbell is a pleasure for you to use, too – clean and simple, with an intuitive, elegant interface.
You Need to Track How Many Sessions Are Left
No more hacked-together systems for figuring out how many sessions you have left with a client. You and your client can both see how many sessions you have left and when it’s time to purchase more. Plus, create client notes and questionnaires.
You're Into Elegant and Simple
We are NOT about adding another headache to your to-do list! Most of our customers require zero support to set up Paperbell on their own and find they can easily do it in under and hour. Of course if you do need us, we offer support that one review described as “on par with Disney!”
You Live in Google Calendar
Paperbell automatically sends a Google Calendar invite out with the meeting link included (along with a lot of other helpful scheduling features). Unlike 17Hats™, we assume that you want to use Google as your main calendar, and everything is reflected there.
