QuickKicks vs Martialytics. Honestly.
Martialytics is one of the few products that, like us, puts progression first, and it's good. If you've outgrown the grading book and want billing, leads, and a parent app around that same core, here's how the two actually differ. No hot takes.
Credit where it's due
What Martialytics does well
Martialytics is a good product built by people who teach. If these are what matter most to you, you should weigh them seriously.
Built by instructors
Martialytics was made by people who run martial arts schools, and it shows. If you want a tool that thinks like a dojo, they earned that reputation.
A genuinely great grading engine
Marking attendance, logging progression, and reporting on belt-readiness is fast and well designed. This is their core strength, and it's a real one.
Honest, no-percentage pricing
No cut of your revenue and no payment markup, and they don't charge you for inactive or trial members. That's the right way to price, and we agree with it.

| How it works | QuickKicks | Martialytics |
|---|---|---|
| Built around | Belt and rank progression as the spine of the whole business | Attendance and grading, with a strong progression core |
| Belt eligibility and grading | Calculated from attendance, skills, and instructor signoff | A strength: fast grading and well-designed belt-readiness reporting |
| Recurring billing | Autopay, card and ACH, with automatic failed-payment recovery | Billing is available, with lighter dunning and recovery automation |
| Lead and trial pipeline | Trials with auto follow-up tasks, built in | Lighter lead and CRM tooling by comparison |
| Parent experience | Portal plus a branded app: progress, schedule, and invoices | A more limited parent-facing experience today |
| Owner reporting | Retention cohorts, at-risk members, trial conversion, and MRR | Strong on attendance and grading reports, lighter on the financial picture |
| Pricing model | Flat $30, $60, or $90 per location, no percentage payment fee | Tiered by active student count, no percentage payment fee |
| Inactive and trial members | Priced per location, so inactive members never add to your bill | Doesn't charge for inactive or trial members either |
| Migration | Free, done by us, from a Martialytics export or a spreadsheet | Self-serve export, your team imports elsewhere |
| Contract | Month to month, cancel anytime | Month to month, no lock-in |

What's actually different
Where QuickKicks goes further
The whole business, not just the grading book
Martialytics nails attendance and grading. QuickKicks wraps that same progression core in billing that chases failed payments for you, a lead pipeline that follows up on trials, and a parent app, so the entire school runs in one place instead of two or three.
Leads and retention, built in
Capturing inquiries, following up on trials, and spotting at-risk members before they quit are first-class parts of QuickKicks. If your school is growing and you feel the gap between a great grading tool and a full operating system, that gap is what we fill.
Progress that parents actually see
Families watch belt progress, check the schedule, and pay from a portal or your branded app. Keeping parents engaged is one of the strongest retention levers a kids' program has, so we made it central.
