Payments Matter

Fewer Separate Charges
No separate PCI, non-PCI, regulatory, or minimum fees on the published SIXPAC payment option.
No Extra Gateway Layer
Process through SIXPAC without a separate third-party gateway taking an additional cut between the software and processor.

Why Compare
Why martial arts schools compare Kicksite and SIXPAC
Both platforms cover important school-management workflows. The better fit depends on whether your priority is specialized martial arts progression tools or a wider operating system with flat software pricing as enrollment grows.
Pricing scales differently
Kicksite publishes member-count tiers from $49 to $199 per month. SIXPAC starts at $36 and does not price software by customer count.
Specialization vs. breadth
Kicksite emphasizes martial arts attendance, belt progression, prospecting, and communication. SIXPAC emphasizes connected business operations across sales, documents, products, and payments.
Retail and back-office work
Schools selling gear, issuing invoices, collecting signed documents, managing products, or running varied services should compare the complete workflow, not only class management.

Honest Fit
Kicksite may be the better fit when rank progression is central
Kicksite is built only for martial arts and publicly emphasizes belt tracking, promotion criteria, prospect automation, unlimited texting, and martial arts website services. SIXPAC should not be positioned as a replacement for specialized rank or curriculum management it does not provide.
- Choose Kicksite when specialized belt, rank, curriculum, or martial-arts-only workflows drive the decision.
- Compare SIXPAC when invoicing, documents, products, POS, inventory, and broad customer operations matter more.
- Keep a specialized progression tool alongside SIXPAC when that combination serves the school best.
