Team account or Two single accounts?
I got a simple but illustrative question the other day:
Hi John,
I referred my friend Garrett to CoachAccountable and we’re debating on the pros and cons of two single user accounts vs a team account.
Could you help us understand the differences?
I call this an illustrative question because this is a nice lens by which to contrast Team with Basic account. Here’s the answer I gave that sums it up tidily:
The answer ultimately comes down to if you guys plan to/would benefit from being able to collaborate more tightly.
A pair of single accounts are two completely separate silos: no sharing of clients, no sharing of resources (like templates, files or courses), no visibility/oversight/collaboration of one coach into the work of the other.
Team Edition, by contrast, allows all of these things. Rather than complete separation, you can work jointly in coaching a given client or group of clients.
Team Edition offers these things but is generally more expensive for a given client count. If you’ll be working largely independently, a pair of single accounts should do fine.
I hope that helps!
