Kicksite Review

Kicksite runs four published tiers: $49, $99, $149 and $199 a month, with a free trial to start. That transparent ladder is a real advantage in a category full of quote-only rivals, and it means you can size the plan to your school without a sales call. So how much Kicksite costs is a question you can answer from the page, which is more than many martial-arts platforms let you do.

Kicksite is management software built specifically for martial arts schools, the rank-based, attendance-driven end of the market. It handles the operational core and the belt tracking a dojo needs, and the four-tier pricing lets a small school start cheap and a larger academy step up as it grows.

The Verdict in One Screen

Kicksite is a martial-arts-focused platform with rare pricing transparency and solid rank and attendance tools. It is built for schools, not for remote coaching or general studios.

Two dates for the record. This review was first published 11 August 2026 and last checked on 12 August 2026. The four tiers were published cleanly, which is worth noting in a category where most rivals hide the price.

What Kicksite Actually Is

Kicksite is dojo software, organized around students, ranks and attendance. It handles memberships, billing and scheduling like any gym tool, but the rank management and student tracking are tuned for a school where members advance through belts. That specificity is the point: it does martial arts admin well and does not try to be a general studio platform.

What the platform covers, per its feature listing:

• Student and member management, with a client database
• Membership management, billing and online payments
• Attendance tracking, check-in and appointment reminders
• Class management, scheduling and online booking
• Rank management and contract management
• POS, marketing tools and mobile access

Rank management plus attendance is the core a martial arts school runs on: who showed up, who is ready to grade, who has advanced. Kicksite builds around that, and the appointment reminders and mobile access keep students engaged between classes. For a dojo, the feature fit is tight.

The Pricing: Four Tiers, Published

Here is the ladder, and it is refreshingly clear.

The honest read: Kicksite publishes all four tiers, which lets you size the plan to your school without a demo. The tiers differ by feature and student-count splits, and the price transparency itself is a genuine plus. So how do you pick the right tier? Start from your student count and the features you need, match them to the ladder, and use the free trial to test the fit. Because the tiers are public, you can budget the step up in advance, which a quote-only rival will not let you do.

Where Kicksite Falls Short

No platform is right for everyone, and Kicksite's edges are worth naming.

The fit is narrow by design. Kicksite is martial arts software, so a general fitness studio or a yoga business will find features and framing aimed past them. That focus is a strength for a dojo and a limit for anyone else.

The entry tier is lean. At $49 the lowest plan is sized for a small school, and larger academies climb quickly through the four bands as their student count and feature needs grow.

It does not fit online coaching. Like other school tools, Kicksite manages students and a facility, not remote one-to-one clients, so a coach programming individual workouts should look elsewhere.

And it is a single-vertical tool. A school that also runs unrelated fitness programs may find Kicksite's martial-arts framing constrains it, where a general platform would flex.

Who Should Actually Buy It

Line it up and the fit is clear. Kicksite is a strong choice for a martial arts school or academy that wants transparent, published pricing and tight rank, attendance and scheduling tools. The four-tier ladder makes it easy to size and budget, and the free trial lets you test the fit, which is more than most rivals in this niche allow.

It is a weaker choice for a general studio, a yoga business or an online coach, all of whom would find a broader or coaching-focused tool a better fit. Those buyers should look past a martial-arts-specific platform.

Our read: rare pricing transparency and a tight martial-arts feature set, held back only by a deliberately narrow, school-only fit. Start the free trial, and match your student count and features to the four tiers. Rated 7.8/10 on that balance of transparency and single-vertical focus.
