BJJLINK vs Kicksite

BJJLINK is paid academy-management software for Jiu-Jitsu schools, combining student records, scheduling, billing, curriculum and marketing on Android, iOS and the web. Students can reserve classes, track attendance and follow belt progress, while scheduling also covers seminars, belt tests and competitions. Academy tools handle membership renewals, check-ins, waivers and documents, plus recurring payments, family billing, in-app purchases and failed-payment recovery. The marketing suite supports website lead capture, automated email follow-ups, referrals, and embedded forms for leads and class signups. Instructors can build structured lesson plans, customizable syllabi, technique flowcharts and video libraries. BJJLINK Connect adds schedules, announcements, attendance, belt tracking and training history for grapplers. The BLACK plan costs $49 a month billed monthly plus a 1% service fee; CORAL costs $149 a month billed monthly with no service fee. A 30-day trial, guided onboarding, migration assistance and 24/7 setup support are advertised.

Kicksite is a management platform for martial arts schools, including academies, dojos, and gyms. It brings student and family profiles, memberships, enrollment details, records, and class scheduling into one service. Schools can manage recurring and one-time charges, inventory sales, overdue invoices, and integrated card payments. Attendance options include PIN or barcode kiosk check-in, bulk check-ins, a live feed, and filterable history. For belt programs, staff can customize rank curricula, schedule testing, review promotion eligibility, and promote students with one click. Lead tools cover landing pages, forms, online signups, shortlinks, and QR codes; communication includes texts, emails, alerts, and prospect nurturing. Students and guardians can use the mobile web portal to view announcements, achievements, classes, and events, check in by barcode, and manage payment methods. Kicksite runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Monthly plans start at $49 a month for 0–25 active students, with all features included; a free plan is not offered.
