Black Belt CRM review
A web-based CRM combining billing, attendance, belt progression, and retention reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Black Belt CRM is membership management software for martial arts schools and other recurring-member businesses. It is designed for organizations that need household records, recurring and attendance-based billing, class-linked check-in, belt rank tracking, promotion management, lead and trial tracking, scheduling, communications, point of sale, inventory, and multi-location administration. Its feature set suits schools ranging from small studios to larger organizations managing multiple locations, with particular value for operators focused on billing workflows and member retention.
Pricing is structured across six monthly plans: Starter at $39, Studio at $59, Club at $85, Center at $125, Institute at $155, and Enterprise at $195. Each plan includes every feature, with no setup fee, no per-staff charge, and no contract. A 30-day free trial is available, and the starting price is $39 per month. The plan structure keeps the feature list consistent across tiers, so the main pricing decision is the monthly level that fits the school’s operation rather than access to different product modules. Additional locations, payment processing, and text messaging are optional extras.
The strongest operational depth is in the connection between attendance, billing, rank progression, and retention reporting. Schools can tie check-ins to classes and programs, bill testing fees, generate belt order reports, configure martial arts rank structures, and review churn reporting based on member history. That focus makes Black Belt CRM a practical choice for schools wanting one system for administrative and retention work. It is less suitable for organizations that require a student portal, a branded mobile app, or integrations with other software. Its web-only coverage also favors desktop-based administration over mobile-first member access.
