The Key Differences
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!
Wodify starts at $179/month for their Essentials Plan and has two higher tiered plans, Accelerate and Ultimate, that do not have prices listed online – you must book a demo with their team to get that pricing information.
At Kicksite 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. A school with 20 active students can utilize the same lead management, rank and belt tracking and family management features (plus so many more!) that a school with 500 active students can use.
Wodify locks several core features behind higher priced premium tiers. Customers on the Essentials plan will not have access to their lead management and prospecting board, rank and belt tracking feature, family management, or the media library. To access these features, customers will have to upgrade to the Accelerate or Ultimate plans.
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.
Wodify was originally built to be used by CrossFit gyms and other similar strength training fitness businesses. In recent years, Wodify recognized how quickly BJJ was growing in popularity and tried to capitalize on that popularity by expanding into the martial arts industry. Now, Wodify attempts to be a one-size-fits-all software provider for a variety of fitness businesses including CrossFit, HYROX, Yoga, Pilates, Martial Arts and more.
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.
Wodify partners with Stripe for payment processing and their rates vary based on the plan customers are paying for. They advertise rates as low as 2.6% + $0.25, but do not specify what plan or other requirements must be in place to receive this rate. Customers not on Wodify’s premium plan (Ultimate) will likely pay a higher payment processing rate.
The Final Verdict
Kicksite
With Kicksite's more affordable pricing tiers, universal availability of all software features, and our Better Business Bureau accredited, flat-rate payment processing partner (Basys), Kicksite is the preferred software provider for martial arts schools. Plus, Kicksite was built by martial artists and has been dedicated to the martial arts industry for nearly 20 years. At Kicksite, your martial arts school will have a partner, not just a product.
Wodify
Wodify was built as a CrossFit-focused software system (WOD is a staple CrossFit term) that has only recently expanded into the martial arts industry. They primarily serve strength and fitness gyms, which means some schools could find features lacking or not fully accommodating to martial arts-specific needs. Similar to Kicksite, Wodify receives high marks from users on the quality of their customer service and support. However, Wodify may not be a great choice for schools looking for an affordable software solution, as their $179/month starting price is one of the highest in the industry. Additionally, several core features of the software are not available at Wodify's starting price - meaning customers will have to pay even more to unlock the full capabilities of the software.
