Paperbell was built specifically for coaches, and it shows. Multical covers the same core: booking, payments, and packages, and goes further on calendar sync for coaches juggling more than one calendar. It's a fair comparison, with a few honest gaps noted below.

Multical connects to Stripe so clients pay when they book, and lets you create packages, like six sessions, that clients redeem one booking at a time. Paperbell built this well, and Multical matches it.
If coaching is one part of a bigger career, you likely have a coaching calendar plus a work or personal calendar. Multical reconciles availability across Google, Outlook, and Apple calendars so you're never double booked between roles.
Custom booking questions, self-serve reschedule and cancel, and Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams links added automatically.
Set up custom email and webhook workflows so confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups go out without you lifting a finger.
Paperbell includes client messaging, contract and document signing, and file uploads. Multical doesn't offer these yet. If those are core to how you run your coaching business today, Paperbell may be the better fit right now.

A note on fairness: Paperbell is purpose-built for coaches and includes client messaging, contracts, and file uploads that Multical doesn't offer yet, all in one $57/month tier with no feature gating. If those are essential to your practice today, Paperbell may be the better fit. Multical's edge is calendar sync for coaches balancing multiple roles, at roughly a tenth of the price.
