Compare Martial Arts School Software

There is no universal answer — it turns on your school size and whether you need belt progression as a first-class concept or just a gym CRM. Kicksite is the cheapest purpose-built option at $49/month for up to 25 students. Zen Planner is the most established but starts at $99/month and reaches $348/month. Gymdesk sits between at $75/month for up to 50 members. MyDojo is free until 31 March 2027 during early access and treats rank progression as core rather than a custom field. Pricing verified against vendor sites, July–August 2026.

Published 2026 entry prices run from $49/month (Kicksite, up to 25 students) to $249/month (Spark Membership, flat rate). Most purpose-built platforms sit between $69 and $99/month for a school of about 50 students. Note that almost all of them price in US dollars, so UK schools should factor in the exchange rate and any card fees. Clubworx has a genuinely free tier for up to 20 active members, and MyDojo is free until 31 March 2027.

The dividing line is belt progression. Purpose-built platforms treat rank, grading eligibility and testing cycles as core objects; general gym software usually treats a belt as a custom field you maintain by hand. If you grade students, that difference shows up every testing cycle. If you run classes with no ranking system, general gym software will serve you perfectly well and is often cheaper.

Read it sceptically — we sell one of the products. What we offer instead of neutrality is verifiability: every competitor price on these pages comes from that vendor's own published pricing page and is dated, and we state plainly where a competitor is more established or better suited than we are. Where a vendor does not publish something, we say so rather than filling the gap. Check the figures yourself against the vendor sites.
