Kicksite has been serving martial arts schools for close to two decades and is a genuinely focused product — this is a closer comparison than most.
Both are built for martial arts specifically, rather than adapted from gym software. Kicksite has the longer history and a well-regarded flat-feature pricing model. Axion Dojo is newer, and differs most in where your tuition lands and in how it connects to the website you already have.

| Where tuition lands | Your own Stripe account, straight to your bank | Integrated billing and processing |
| Website | Connects to the site you already have, via API and embeddable forms | Website development offered as a service |

Kicksite has been doing this for close to twenty years across thousands of schools. If a long track record and a large base of schools that have already been through every edge case is what you weigh most heavily, that is a real argument and Axion Dojo cannot match it yet.
If you want your website built and hosted by the same company that runs your management software, Kicksite offers that as a service. Axion Dojo takes the opposite position: keep your website, and we will connect to it.
Tuition runs through your own Stripe account to your own bank, rather than through the vendor. And the Website API plus embeddable sign-up forms are built for schools that already have a site they like on WordPress, Squarespace or Google Sites, and want their live schedule and their lead capture to come from their school data.
This page is the summary. The guide is the manual — written for people running a school, not for people shopping for software. Read how the Website API and sign-up forms work, or start at the contents page.
Kicksite publishes its rates; Axion Dojo's are not published yet, so an honest comparison is not possible here. Both charge a single monthly subscription tiered by student count with no gated features.
Yes. Both are martial-arts-specific products with real rank tracking, which is exactly why this comparison comes down to billing structure and website approach rather than to core features.
