Where FightKit is different

Built for martial arts schools

TeamUp serves gyms, studios and boxes across yoga, CrossFit, Pilates, group fitness and more. FightKit is built only for martial arts schools: ranks, curricula and grading sessions are part of how it works.

A fixed price for your plan

TeamUp's price adjusts every month with your number of active customers — anyone who registers or buys something that month. FightKit's price is fixed for your plan, with every feature included:

Up to 20 students: $29 a month
Up to 100 students: $79 a month
Up to 250 students: $119 a month
Unlimited students: $199 a month

At the price TeamUp shows on its pricing page — $189 a month for 101–200 active customers — FightKit costs $119.

From enquiry to paying member in one place

FightKit takes people from first enquiry to paying member:

Enquiry and trial booking forms on your website, so people can book a trial class themselves
Two-way email conversations — every email with a lead shows up in one thread inside FightKit
Automated follow-ups when someone enquires, books a trial, or doesn't turn up
Pre-filled registration links — their details are already in, so they just pick a membership and pay

When TeamUp might suit you better

FightKit isn't the right fit for every school. TeamUp may suit you better if:

You rely on text messages. TeamUp sends email and text messages. FightKit only sends email for now.
You sell in person. TeamUp includes a point of sale, an online store and gift cards.
You want your setup done for you. TeamUp offers free data migration and one-to-one onboarding. With FightKit you import your students and memberships yourself — and if you'd like a walkthrough, we're happy to give you a demo.
You want an app in your own branding. TeamUp offers a custom branded app for $99 a month.
You run more than martial arts. If you also run yoga, Pilates or fitness classes, TeamUp covers those too.

Switching from TeamUp

Moving to FightKit doesn't mean starting again. Export your students from TeamUp and import them into FightKit in bulk from a CSV file. Then set up your memberships and timetable.

Payment details are held by TeamUp's payment processor, so ask TeamUp whether they can transfer them. If not, send members a registration link with their details already filled in — they just confirm their membership and add a payment method.

Frequently asked questions

Is FightKit cheaper than TeamUp?

At the price TeamUp shows on its pricing page — $189 a month for 101–200 active customers — FightKit costs $119 a month for up to 250 students. TeamUp's price adjusts each month with your number of active customers, while FightKit's price is fixed for your plan: $29 up to 20 students, $79 up to 100, $119 up to 250 and $199 unlimited.

How does TeamUp count customers?

TeamUp counts someone as an active customer if they register for something or buy something from your business during the month, and your price adjusts automatically. FightKit's price depends on which plan you're on, which sets the maximum number of students.

Does FightKit track belts and gradings?

Yes. FightKit tracks each student's rank, lets you set out the curriculum for every rank, and groups gradings into grading sessions — it's built for martial arts schools.

Can I move my students from TeamUp to FightKit?

Yes. Export your students from TeamUp and import them into FightKit in bulk from a CSV file. Payment details are held by TeamUp's payment processor, so ask TeamUp whether they can be transferred — otherwise members set up their payment again using a registration link with their details already filled in.

Does FightKit send text messages?

Not yet — FightKit messages students and leads by email. If texting is central to how you run your school, TeamUp includes it.
