FAQ

DojoTrack vs Zen Planner questions

Martial arts focus, pricing, and what changes day to day.

Is DojoTrack a good ZenPlanner alternative for martial arts schools?

Yes — especially if you want software built around how a dojo runs, not a generic gym. Zen Planner Studio serves gyms, CrossFit boxes, fitness studios, and martial arts schools with member management, billing, scheduling, and belt tracking. DojoTrack is martial arts CRM first: students, leads, classes, billing, belt progress, and AI student retention on Premium, starting at $0.

How does DojoTrack pricing compare to Zen Planner?

DojoTrack offers a permanent free plan (up to 50 students) and paid plans from $95/month for up to 100 students with full Premium. Zen Planner Studio starts at $99/month for 0–45 active members and scales by roster (for example about $189 for 76–100 and $289 for 251+). Website, Engage marketing (~$249/month), and a branded app (~$39/month) are often separate. Compare total cost at your roster size.

What is the difference between DojoTrack and Zen Planner?

Zen Planner is gym and studio management software used across fitness verticals — with martial arts belt tracking available as part of that broader platform. DojoTrack is purpose-built for martial arts schools: dojo CRM workflows, free plan to start, Premium AI retention, automatic payments, SMS, kiosks, POS, and a student app. Choose Zen Planner if you want a multi-vertical fitness suite; choose DojoTrack if the school is a martial arts studio first.

Is Zen Planner martial arts specific?

Not exclusively. Zen Planner markets Studio software to gyms, schools, and studios — including CrossFit and fitness businesses — and includes belt and skill tracking for martial arts programs. DojoTrack does not try to be general gym software; it focuses on martial arts school operations and retention.

Can I migrate my data from Zen Planner to DojoTrack?

Yes. Most studios can move student and school data from Zen Planner into DojoTrack. Depending on how much data you have, migration help may be included at no cost or offered as a paid service. Contact us and we will recommend the best path for your roster.

Does DojoTrack include AI features Zen Planner may not emphasize?

On paid plans, DojoTrack includes AI retention insights (flagging at-risk students from attendance and billing patterns) and AI lead scoring. Review each vendor’s current feature list and demo for what matters most to your school.

Which is better for a traditional martial arts school?

If your business is a martial arts academy — belts, family plans, trial leads, and retention on the mat — DojoTrack is designed for that workflow and starts free. If you run a hybrid fitness facility that also needs workout tracking and multi-studio gym tooling, Zen Planner’s broader fitness platform may fit — confirm current pricing and add-ons on their site.
