Zen Planner vs RhinoFit
Two platforms that both court martial arts schools and functional-fitness gyms, with opposite pricing philosophies. Zen Planner now publishes tiers by active member — Studio runs $99–$289/mo before add-ons such as its $39/mo branded app; RhinoFit publishes one flat $57/mo for unlimited members and a $0 start-up tier.

The verdict
Pick Zen Planner if belt-and-rank management is the heart of your martial arts school and you want Daxko’s full-service billing to own receivables — and you accept a bill that climbs with your active roster. Pick RhinoFit if you want the bill published, flat and low, with a human on the phone and POS, waivers and belt tracking already included.
Choose Zen Planner if…
- You run a BJJ/MMA school where rank testing and belt tracking drive retention
- You want SugarWOD workout tracking native to the platform
- You want done-for-you migration and a dedicated onboarding specialist included
Choose RhinoFit if…
- You want one published price that never scales with members
- You are starting out — the $0 tier covers up to 20 active users
- You value phone support answered by real people (Google 4.8/201)
