Yes, Practice.do is closing down. If you received that email from the Practice team, you’re probably feeling a mix of frustration, worry, and urgency about what to do next. We get it—your coaching platform isn’t just software, it’s the foundation of your business.
The good news? You don’t have to start from scratch or piece together multiple tools again. Paperbell offers everything you need to keep your coaching business running smoothly, and we’re here to help you make the transition as painless as possible.
Why Practice.do Coaches Are Moving to Paperbell
Practice.do raised $10 million in venture capital funding but ultimately couldn’t sustain a profitable business model. Here at Paperbell, we took a different approach. We’re a bootstrapped, profitable company that’s been serving coaches for five years. We have thousands of active paying coaches who have collectively processed over $40 million through our platform—and we’re not going anywhere.
When you’re choosing where to build your coaching business, stability matters. You need to know your platform will be there for you next month, next year, and beyond.
Everything You Relied on in Practice.do, All in Paperbell
If you loved how Practice.do consolidated your coaching tools, you’ll feel right at home with Paperbell. Here’s what we offer:
Client scheduling that syncs with Google Calendar, iCal and Outlook, complete with automatic time zone detection and buffer times between sessions. Your clients can self-book, and you’ll never worry about double-booking again.
Complete client management with detailed profiles showing purchase history, session notes, signed contracts, and remaining appointments—all in one place.
Forms and contracts built right into your client onboarding flow. Clients sign contracts and complete intake surveys as part of scheduling and payment, so you never have to chase anyone down.
Flexible payment options including one-time payments, payment plans, and ongoing subscriptions. Accept credit cards through Stripe or PayPal, and Paperbell handles all the billing automatically.
Video call integration with Zoom and Google Meet. Each appointment automatically includes the meeting link in both calendars, so your clients always know how to connect with you.
File and content delivery for any digital resources you want to share with clients—PDFs, videos, worksheets, you name it.
Client portal where your clients can access everything they need: book sessions, view notes, access materials, and communicate with you.
Professional website included with every account. Unlike Practice.do’s approach, Paperbell gives you a complete coaching website that looks polished and converts visitors into clients—no additional website builder needed.

Practice’s Official Shutdown Announcement
“We’re writing today to share some unfortunate news. Our company was in the process of being acquired, but unfortunately, that acquisition has fallen through. Because we have been preparing for a transition, we are unable to pivot quickly enough to keep operations running independently and thus will be closing our doors.
We know this is abrupt, and our leadership team is truly sorry for the disruption this may cause you, your customers, and your business. This is not the outcome we had hoped for, and our team deeply regrets that we weren’t able to provide more notice or continuity.
Serving you over the last four years has been a privilege, and we want to thank you sincerely for your trust and support.
Next, we highly suggest that you export your Practice data at your earliest convenience. To export your data, please follow these steps:
- Access your settings: app.practice.do/settings
- Connect your Google Drive to Practice
- Navigate to your Google Drive integration
- Start the export process, and it will run for a brief period of time in the background
If you have any questions or technical difficulties, please email us at [REDACTED]
With gratitude and regret,
Julien Smith
CEO & Co-Founder of Practice”
