A Wodify alternative for martial arts schools
Wodify lists Essentials at $199, Accelerate at $299, and Ultimate at $499 a month, and belt progressions and family billing aren't on its entry plan. CornerDesk includes both in one flat price.
The Wodify trade-offs
- 1
Built for the CrossFit box first
Wodify made its name programming workouts for CrossFit and boutique fitness. Martial arts schools get a solution page, but the platform's centre of gravity is the WOD.
- 2
Belts and families cost more
On Wodify's published pricing, belt progressions and family groups with shared payments aren't part of Essentials (wodify.com/pricing, October 2026).
- 3
Fees on top of fees
Wodify lists an onboarding fee (amount not published) and add-ons like a branded app, while reviewers flag the monthly price and processing fees as heavy for a small gym.

Asked and answered
01How does Wodify pricing compare?
Wodify's pricing page lists Essentials at $199/mo, Accelerate at $299/mo, and Ultimate at $499/mo, with a $100 discount for new customers who booked a demo by October 31, 2026, plus an onboarding fee it doesn't publish. CornerDesk is $99 CAD/mo flat with no setup fee.
02Does CornerDesk do family billing?
Yes, for every gym. Link kids to a parent, bill them all to the parent's card, and payment messages go to the parent.
03Can CornerDesk program workouts?
No — and that's deliberate. CornerDesk runs the front desk of a fight gym: classes, check-in, trials, ranks, and money. Your coaches run the training.
04Is there a contract?
No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime, and everything exports to CSV — even after you cancel.
