Hmm, I've been a user of this kind of thing for a long time and there's quite a few 'habit-tracking' apps out there (my personal choice being Loop Habit Tracker, I dig its minimalism). Is your key differentiator the accountability check in idea? $15 per month seems quite steep for that, that's like 1/4th of a weekly session with a personal trainer.

Totally understand that $15 per month seems like a hefty price tag for a new product, but it's the lowest we could go since we pay human coaches for check-in calls with users.

The average personal trainer charges $30-39 per session depending on whose data you check. Assuming 1 session per week, the price of a personal trainer is $120-156 per month and our combined software and 1:1 human solution is <1/10th of the price.
