Best Free Martial Arts School Software for Small Dojos: Report Released

The Remona Report compares free martial arts school software, including DojoTrack, PushPress Core Free, SimplyBook.me, and HotGlue, outlining plan limits, best-fit use cases, and payment-processing costs small dojo owners should check before switching.

Erie, United States, November 5, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- The Remona Report has published a new guide comparing free martial arts school software options for owners who want to avoid a monthly subscription. The guide evaluates DojoTrack, PushPress Core Free, SimplyBook.me, and HotGlue based on each vendor's published features and limits, drawing a line between ongoing free plans and time-limited free trials; its conclusions rest on that published information rather than hands-on testing.

A no-cost plan does not guarantee a cost-free operation. Research points to payment-processing fees attached to a free plan as a cost that can add up quickly, so owners should weigh the full cost of running a dojo rather than the subscription line alone. Free tiers often leave out automated billing, advanced reporting, or marketing tools, which can make them workable mainly for newer schools with modest needs, since running a small dojo day to day depends on connecting student records, class scheduling, attendance tracking, and billing into a single workflow. Handling these tasks separately by hand tends to consume time and invite mistakes. Some martial arts software also ties attendance data to belt and rank progression, letting instructors keep a student's training history in one place.

Among the options reviewed, the guide notes that DojoTrack's free plan supports up to 50 students with student profiles, family links, membership tracking, and manual billing. Automatic payment collection and other premium features require upgrading to a paid plan, but the free tier provides a starting point for dojo-specific administration without added software cost.

PushPress Core Free carries no monthly software fee, though the guide notes it applies transaction fees of 4.99% plus $0.30 per credit-card payment and 2.89% plus $0.30 per ACH payment. The guide illustrates how those charges can accumulate into a meaningful monthly cost as a dojo's enrollment grows, the kind of hidden expense the company specializes in surfacing for studio owners.

SimplyBook.me takes a narrower approach: its free plan allows 50 bookings per month for a single provider, a structure the guide says fits a solo instructor's private lessons more than full dojo management. The guide encourages owners to test real workflows, such as managing multiple children under one family account or exporting attendance and billing records, before settling on a platform, and it recommends weighing software costs against payment-processing costs together, since the two combine to determine what a dojo actually pays to collect tuition.
