Our verdict on Kanri
Kanri is cloud-based management software for martial arts schools and fitness studios. It brings together member profiles, linked parent or guardian accounts, belt and rank progression, recurring billing, class scheduling, attendance tracking, communications, reporting, portals, and mobile access. Its feature set is suited to individual schools, growing multi-location organizations, and franchise networks, particularly where staff permissions and repeatable workflows matter.
Pricing is structured across three monthly plans. Starter costs $99 per month and includes member management, recurring billing, class scheduling and attendance, parent and student portals, and mobile app access. Professional costs $199 per month and adds custom reporting, advanced staff management, API and integration access, and 250 GB of file and photo storage. Enterprise costs $249 per month and is positioned for large operations, with advanced staff management, custom reporting, API and integration access, and 500 GB of storage. Kanri also connects with Stripe, Zapier, QuickBooks, and Xero, while supporting web, iOS, Android, and API access.
The platform’s breadth is its main distinction: schools can manage subscriptions, class packs, invoices, payments, recurring classes, per-session attendance, online booking, kiosk check-in, mobile check-in, messaging templates, group broadcasts, documents, and member communications in one system. That scope should appeal to organizations coordinating multiple staff roles or locations. Smaller schools focused on basic scheduling and billing may find the $99 starting price difficult to justify, especially without a free plan. Kanri is the stronger fit for larger schools that need permissions, workflows, rank tracking, and connected operations; schools seeking only core administration may prefer a narrower tool.
