Your coaching hours, counted as you coach
Every completed session you host is added up and shown against the ICF thresholds for ACC, PCC and MCC. No spreadsheet, and no reconstructing two years of calls the week before you apply.

The hours are real. The log almost never is.
Most coaches rebuild an ICF log from a calendar the week they apply, and quietly guess at half of it.
The spreadsheet years
- A spreadsheet you update when you remember, which is rarely
- Scrolling two years of calendar to work out what actually ran
- Counting one ninety minute group call six times, once per person
- No idea whether you are short on hours or short on clients
With CoachfulCounted as it happens
- Completed sessions you hosted are totalled while you work
- Hours and distinct clients shown against ACC, PCC and MCC
- Group time counted once, and no-shows left out of the total
- A client coaching log you export with paid and pro bono minutes
Counted as you coach, not rebuilt the week you apply.
It counts what you already do
Sessions you run in Coachful are counted automatically. One-to-one calls, cohort and group sessions and intake calls all add up, and the panel shows hours and distinct clients against each credential threshold.
What the counter takes
This weekLog the sessions that happened elsewhere
Most coaches arrive with history. You can log a past session by hand from the client page, with its date, time and duration, and it counts in credential progress like any other completed session.

Maya OrtizPrivate feedback on your own coaching
If you turn it on, each session summary can include a private review of your coaching against ICF Core Competencies three to eight. It is a development aid you control, not an assessment.

Your talk share
Paid or pro bono, settled in one fixed order
The ICF log splits your hours into paid and pro bono, and guessing at that split is what makes most logs unusable. Coachful decides it with one precedence chain, the same way every time, and tells you which rule fired for each session.

The panel that keeps the count.
A running banner for total hours and sessions, then progress against each credential. Nothing to reconcile, because the count is the sessions.

What the count takes, and what it throws away.
Ninety minutes,
counted once.
A group call is one block of coaching time, not one per head.

The panel and the export cannot disagree.
Your progress panel and your exported log come from the same builder.
Both gates, or nothing
A level needs both hours and distinct clients, and the panel shows which is short.
Session review
Only youPrivate feedback, off until you ask.
Your own sessions scored against ICF competencies, never shown to the client.
Six competencies, not eight
Competencies 1 and 2 stay out; the ICF does not assess them from recordings.
Everything in ICF hour tracking.
No asterisks and no add-on pricing. This is what you get.

Loved by the coaches who actually use it.
“This really is an amazing tool. I've been a full-time coach for seven years, and this is the first coaching tool that has everything I have wanted — the most comprehensive I have used. Support is also incredible.”
James Wallace
Founder, Fountainhead Coaching
“Coachful brings scheduling, payments, client communication, programs, habit tracking and accountability together. Instead of managing several different apps, everything feels more organized and professional — for the coach and the client.”
Margie Wilson
Wounded to Warrior Recovery Coaching
“The platform we've all been waiting for. I have tried just about every coaching, booking and learning platform out there. Coachful does it all. The support is unmatched and the updates are consistent.”
Elizabeth Gentzkow
Founder, Thrive West
Coachful tracks progress toward ICF credentials from the sessions a coach already runs.
Completed one-to-one, cohort, group and intake sessions are totalled into hours and distinct clients and shown against the ACC, PCC and MCC thresholds, with group time counted once rather than per participant. Coaches can log past sessions by hand for work done before Coachful, and export a client coaching log covering paid and pro bono hours. Optional private feedback scores a coach own sessions against ICF Core Competencies three to eight.

What it does
- Counts completed coaching hours and distinct clients against ACC, PCC and MCC thresholds.
- Includes one-to-one, cohort, group and intake sessions in the total.
- Counts group session time once rather than once per attendee.
- Lets a coach log a past session by hand so earlier work counts.
- Exports a client coaching log with paid and pro bono hours.
- Scores a coach own sessions privately against ICF Core Competencies three to eight when switched on.
Good to know
- It does not know when coach training started, or how many mentor coaching hours a coach has.
- Its competency feedback is not an ICF assessment and does not replace mentor coaching.
- It does not submit anything to the ICF; the coach keeps and files the log.
- It is not HIPAA-certified. It is GDPR-ready with full data export.
- The client app carries your branding but ships under the Coachful listing, not your own App Store account.

ICF hour tracking questions coaches ask
Yes, for sessions that happen in Coachful. Every completed one-to-one, cohort, group or intake session you hosted is added up and shown against the ACC, PCC and MCC hour and client thresholds on the Coach development panel.
Yes. Open the client page, choose to log a past session, and enter the title, date, time and duration. Once saved it counts in credential progress like any other completed session.
Group time is counted once rather than once per participant, which is how the ICF counts it. A ninety-minute group session is one and a half hours.
Yes. Coachful exports a client coaching log covering your hours, including paid and pro bono time, so you have a document to keep and to produce if your application is audited.
No. You keep your log and submit your own application. Coachful gives you the count, the client list and the export, which is the part coaches normally reconstruct by hand.
If you turn it on, each session summary includes a private review of your coaching scored against Core Competencies three to eight. It is a self-development aid, never shown to the client, and it is not an ICF assessment or a replacement for mentor coaching.
