MatFlow vs Kicksite

Pricing
MatFlow is free for students forever. Academies start with a 30-day free trial, then $49/mo (Basic) or $99/mo (Pro).
Kicksite starts at $49 per month for up to 25 students (as of July 2026, per kicksite.com/pricing) and scales up with student count and features.
Who it's for
MatFlow is built by people who train BJJ. Every feature, from the belt bar in the header to the roll log in the training section, is tuned for jiu jitsu culture. Students, instructors, and gym owners all work inside the same platform.
Kicksite serves martial arts schools across disciplines — karate, taekwondo, krav maga, and BJJ alike — with member management, attendance, and engagement tools. MatFlow focuses on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specifically.
The biggest difference
Kicksite centers on the school's back office. MatFlow is built student-first, with the owner console on the same platform: your students get a free training app, and your academy runs on the same data.
