KICKSITE VS PUSHPRESS

Kicksite offers fair and competitive pricing tiers that scale as your martial arts business scales. Newer and smaller schools with 0-25 students pay only $49/month. You’ll never pay more than $199/month for Kicksite’s martial arts software! Plus, there are no sneaky up-charges or premium tiers to unlock capabilities within the software – all pricing tiers have access to every feature in Kicksite.

PushPress does offer a free plan to customers, but it restricts access to numerous features that are gated behind their more expensive pricing tiers. PushPress’ lowest-cost paid plan is $159/month and to unlock all features within the software, customers can expect to pay at least $229/month.

Kicksite is proud to provide our customers with industry-leading Customer Support. Kicksite customers can take advantage of unlimited support and one-on-one trainings at no additional cost. New customers have the option to participate in a 60-day white glove onboarding process with a dedicated Onboarding Specialist to answer their questions and provide training and education. Our dedicated support team can be reached via email, voicemail, or our integrated ticketing system, with an average response time of 8 hours or less during regular business hours.

PushPress gates their customer service, offering varying levels of support based on what software tier you are paying for. Customers on the free plan can expect to rely mainly on support via self-services resources and “AI support.” If a customer using the free PushPress plan needs real human assistance, they will wait up to 48 hours for a human response. PushPress customers paying for their Max or Pro premium tiers can schedule video support calls with their team.

Kicksite’s preferred payment processing partner Basys offers a competitive 2.9% + $0.25 flat rate for all card transactions. This rate is available to all Kicksite customers regardless of pricing tier. Basys is A+ rated and accredited by the Better Business Bureau, with nearly 25 years of experience in the payment processing industry. The Kicksite and Basys headquarters are just a few miles apart in Kansas City, helping us build a strong working relationship.

PushPress‘ payment processing rates vary based on the plan customers are paying for. Payment Processing costs start as high as 4.19% + $0.30 on their Free plan and go as low as 2.75% + $0.30 on their Max plan.

Kicksite was born in a local Kansas City-area Taekwondo school nearly 20 years ago by an instructor who wanted an easier way to manage his school. Fast forward to present day and our mission is still deeply rooted in providing a martial arts software that makes our customers’ lives easier.

PushPress was originally built to be used by CrossFit gyms and other similar strength training fitness businesses. In recent years, PushPress recognized how quickly BJJ was growing in popularity and tried to capitalize on that popularity by expanding into the martial arts industry.

Kicksite is an independently-owned small business that partners with our customers to make their life easier and grow their business. Kicksite makes decisions with one goal in mind: helping our customers. We mean it when we say, We Make Businesses Better, and are working hard every day to improve our software and meet our customers’ needs.

PushPress is owned by a venture capital who’s top priority is turning a profit and planning for an exit strategy. Be wary of leadership that may now be making decisions to benefit their investors and shareholders first, customers second.
