Podia adds weekly and 6-month billing and multi-payment coupons.
Podia now offers weekly and 6-month subscription billing alongside monthly, quarterly and yearly, with a separate price per option on the same plan. A day earlier, coupons gained a choice of how many subscription or installment payments they discount and a one-use-per-customer limit. Both follow per-business invoice numbering, custom checkout agreements, gifting and abandoned cart recovery.
An all-in-one endurance-coaching platform deepening device sync and coach business tools.
Training Tilt is an all-in-one platform for endurance coaches — workout planning, athlete analytics, and a built-in website/e-commerce layer for selling programs. Recent releases split between two fronts: expanding device integrations (Suunto, and now bidirectional Zwift sync) and sharpening coach-side tooling (reusable content snippets, managed redirect links, menu and product admin). It ships small, frequent, clearly documented updates.

Podia is filling standard store, pricing and bookkeeping gaps at a near-daily pace. The work targets creators running memberships and payment plans as a real business, with more pricing levers and cleaner records, rather than new product types.
Expect more checkout and pricing controls, such as trials or tiered discounts, given seven such releases in two weeks.

It ships small, frequent, clearly documented updates.
The product is thickening both sides of its two-sided model — the athlete-facing device ecosystem and the coach-facing business platform — without picking a single headline direction. Device work trends toward closing the loop (planned workouts out, completed data back in), while the commerce and content tools cut the manual overhead of running a coaching business. This is deliberate breadth, aimed at being the one tool a coach needs rather than the best at any one thing.
Expect more two-way device integrations and analytics comparing planned versus completed work, alongside continued small e-commerce and content-management conveniences for coaches.
