Comparison
Retention OS vs. Kicksite
Kicksite is a strong billing and member management tool built for martial arts schools. Retention OS is built for the piece Kicksite leaves to you — knowing which students are about to quit before they do, and keeping parents connected after every class.
Most schools that use Retention OS keep their existing Kicksite subscription. The two tools do different jobs.

Choose Kicksite if…

- You want instructors to log recognition and behavioral observations during live class without slowing down
- You already have billing handled and need a retention layer on top
