# MatFlow vs Kicksite

Canonical: https://yourmatflow.com/compare/matflow-vs-kicksite

**Kicksite starting price:** ~$199/mo

Martial arts software at $199/mo with setup fees — and still no automation.

## MatFlow wedge

Kicksite is MA software at $199/mo with setup fees on top. MatFlow starts at $99/mo, charges no setup fee, shows up in person for annual customers, and includes a voice receptionist and full digital presence that Kicksite doesn't have.

## Where MatFlow wins

### 24/7 voice receptionist

MatFlow Pro answers every call around the clock. Books trials. Takes messages. Kicksite has no inbound voice features — every missed call is a missed enrollment.

### Half the price — more features

Kicksite starts around $199/mo. MatFlow Standard covers full automation for $149/mo annual — $50 less per month, with features Kicksite doesn't offer at any tier.

### Full contact management

Every inquiry, trial, and member in one system. See where everyone is from first contact to paying member. Kicksite tracks enrolled members. MatFlow tracks everyone.

### SMS payment recovery

Payment fails, member gets a text, payment recovers automatically. Kicksite notifies you of failures. MatFlow eliminates them without a phone call.

### Your gym's digital presence — built right

Members get their own client portal. Pro annual customers get a custom website that holds the brand identity of their gym — not a template, not a cookie-cutter site. Kicksite doesn't offer either.

### No setup fee. We do it for you.

Every plan includes a migration call. Annual customers get an in-person setup — we show up and handle everything on-site. Your first month is one dollar. Kicksite charges setup fees before you're even live.
