OnMat Review

OnMat prices by how many students you teach: $79 a month for up to 75 students, $119 for up to 150, and $179 for unlimited, with a 30-day free trial to open on. So how much OnMat costs tracks your roster, and a small dojo runs the full platform for well under a hundred dollars a month.

OnMat is management software built for martial arts schools, the rank-and-attendance world of karate, taekwondo and BJJ. Formerly known as JIBASoft, it handles memberships, billing and the belt tracking a dojo needs, and the three student-count tiers make the price easy to place yourself in.

The Verdict in One Screen

OnMat is a martial-arts-focused platform with clean, student-based tiers topping out in an unlimited plan. It is built for schools, not for gyms or online coaches.

Two dates for the record. This review was first published 11 August 2026 and last checked on 12 August 2026. The tier you pick tracks your student count, so read the band your active roster lands in.

What OnMat Actually Is

OnMat is dojo software, organized around students, ranks and attendance. It handles memberships and scheduling like any school tool, and the rank management and student tracking are tuned for a school where members grade through belts. That focus is the whole point: it does martial arts admin and does not try to be a general platform.

What the platform covers, per its feature listing:

• Student management and attendance
• Class management and scheduling
• Rank management
• Membership and billing

Rank management plus attendance is the core a martial arts school runs on: who trained, who is ready to grade, who has advanced. OnMat builds around that, and the unlimited-student top tier means a large academy pays a flat $179 rather than climbing forever.

The Pricing: Three Student Bands

Here is the ladder.

The bands are simple: you pay for the student count you carry, and the top tier removes the cap at $179. So how do you pick your tier? Count your active students and read the band, and if you are near a threshold, watch it the way any headcount pricing demands. The 30-day trial lets you load your school and see your real rate before you pay, and the unlimited tier means a growing academy never faces a surprise per-student bill.

Where OnMat Falls Short

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

The fit is martial-arts-only. Built for schools that grade through ranks, OnMat aims its features past a gym, a yoga studio or an online coach, so only a rank-based school gets the full value.

The bands step up. Crossing from one student band to the next adds a fixed jump until your roster grows into it, so a school near a threshold should watch its active count.

It is a smaller, rebranded name. Formerly JIBASoft, OnMat is a focused tool that lacks the scale and integration reach of a general platform, so a school that later diversifies may outgrow it.

And the feature set is tight. Built for martial arts essentials, it is leaner on marketing automation and a rich branded app than a general studio suite.

Who Should Actually Buy It

Line it up and the fit is clear. OnMat is a strong choice for a martial arts school that wants simple, student-based pricing and the rank and attendance tools a dojo runs on. A small school starts under $80, and the unlimited tier means a large academy pays a predictable flat rate.

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

Our read: clean student-based tiers and genuine rank tracking, held back only by a martial-arts-only fit. Start the 30-day trial, count your students, and read the band your school lands in. Rated 7.7/10 on that balance of simple pricing and single-vertical focus.
