When setting up your coaching offers in Delenta, you can choose between Subscription Packages and Standard Packages.
Both allow you to sell your coaching services, attach sessions, and bundle courses — but they are designed for very different coaching delivery models.
This guide will help you choose the right one for your coaching business.
1. Subscription Packages (Recurring Coaching)
Best for: Ongoing, long-term, one-to-one coaching relationships.
Subscriptions are recurring billing plans where clients are charged automatically at regular intervals (monthly, quarterly, etc.). They are ideal for coaches who offer continuous support and want clients to stay engaged over time.
Key Characteristics
Designed for One-to-One Coaching
Subscriptions are available only for individual clients. They cannot be used for group or team coaching.
Recurring Payments
Clients are billed automatically based on the billing cycle you set.
Flexible for Clients
Subscriptions allow clients to upgrade or downgrade without cancelling their plan.
Multi-Tier Option (Highly Flexible)
You can create multiple tiers inside a single subscription package.
For example:
Basic Tier – 2 sessions/month
Pro Tier – 4 sessions/month + course access
Premium Tier – Weekly sessions + priority support
Clients can move between these tiers easily.
Standard (Single-Tier) Option
If you prefer simplicity, you can create a flat subscription with one price but still include:
Session plans
Courses
When to Use Subscriptions
Use subscriptions if you:
Offer ongoing monthly coaching
Want predictable recurring income
Allow clients to scale their support level
Focus on long-term client relationships
2. Standard Packages (Fixed Coaching Programs)
Best for: Structured programs with a clear start and end.
Packages are fixed-term coaching offers built around a specific set of sessions or a defined outcome.
Key Characteristics
Can Be Individual or Group Coaching
Unlike subscriptions, packages allow you to:
Run group coaching programs
Offer traditional one-to-one coaching
Fixed Structure
A package is built around one session plan with a clear number of sessions.
There are no tiers and no movement between plans.
Flexible Payment Options
You can offer:
Pay in full
Installment plans
Course Bundling
You can attach a specific course to support the coaching journey.
When to Use Standard Packages
Use packages if you:
Run group programs or cohorts
Offer a 6-week / 12-week / fixed transformation program
Sell outcome-based coaching
Don’t need clients to switch plans mid-way

How to Decide
Ask yourself:
Do I want clients to stay with me long-term? → Subscription
Do I run group coaching programs? → Standard Package
Do I offer a fixed transformation program? → Standard Package
Do I want clients to change their level of support easily? → Subscription
Many coaches use both:
Subscriptions for ongoing clients
Packages for short-term programs or group coaching
This gives you flexibility while meeting different client needs.
