KICKSITE VS ZEN PLANNER

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, including lead management and prospecting tools.

Zen Planner offers pricing tiers that scale as your martial arts business scales. Schools with 0-45 students pay $99/month. Their scaled pricing tiers climb up to $289/month for schools with 251+ students. To unlock Zen Planner’s Engage product that features lead management and prospecting tools, customers will pay another $249/month on top of their monthly software fee.

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 our 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 and our integrated ticketing system, with an average response time of 8 hours or less during regular business hours.

Zen Planner offers customer support via phone, email and their online submission form. Recent reviews from users suggest a sharp decline in overall customer service with long response times and concerns not being adequately addressed.

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 martial arts software and business solutions that make our customers’ lives easier.

For Zen Planner, martial arts schools are only a fraction of the businesses they serve. Their software is a one-size-fits-all solution built for a number of gyms and schools including Fitness, Yoga, Pilates, Climbing, Dance, Gymnastics and more.

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.

Zen Planner’s parent company, Daxko, is owned by private equity firms Genstar Capital and GI Partners, whose 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.
