FaceDojo has plans from US$ 39/month. Its five published monthly tiers include US$ 39 for up to 50 students and options for up to 100, 150, 200 or 350 students. All prices are in US dollars, and each tier offers monthly, six-month and annual billing. To evaluate martial arts software pricing, compare that subscription with the work your school needs to complete: registration, attendance, student follow-up and membership administration.

Start with the [current FaceDojo pricing](https://facedojo.net/en/pricing/) and a clear student count. Then test the workflows that prompted your search, with the people who will actually use them.

## What do the plans cost and how are they billed?

Choose a plan for up to 50, 100, 150, 200 or 350 students. The following table lists the monthly subscription prices in US dollars.

| Plan size | Monthly payment |
| --- | --- |
| Up to 50 students | US$ 39 |
| Up to 100 students | US$ 59 |
| Up to 150 students | US$ 79 |
| Up to 200 students | US$ 99 |
| Up to 350 students | US$ 149 |
| 350+ students | Contact us |

Six-month plans include one free month plus 5% off the five paid months. Annual plans include two free months plus 10% off the ten paid months. The pricing page shows the full amount charged and the equivalent per month for each option.

The annual plan is billed in one payment per year, with no installments. The six-month plan is billed in one payment every six months. The monthly equivalent helps compare costs; it is not an installment amount. Keep the software subscription separate from the membership dues your students pay to the school.

Build the student count from people, rather than adding every class roster together. A member who attends both morning and evening BJJ classes should be identifiable across those rosters. Set aside duplicate records and note students on a planned break before discussing the school’s requirements with the team.

If your school has more than 350 students, contact the team on WhatsApp for a proposal. Describe your requirements during the conversation: how many students train, which programs they attend and who manages the records. A concrete roster and timetable make it easier to assess the proposed setup.

## Which daily tasks should the subscription help you complete?

FaceDojo supports class-photo attendance through WhatsApp, student registration by link, attendance history, absence alerts and membership management. The [martial arts school software overview](https://facedojo.net/en/martial-arts-school-software/) connects those features to the work of instructors and school owners.

For attendance, the instructor takes a class photo and sends it to FaceDojo’s WhatsApp number. FaceDojo recognizes registered students and records their attendance. The instructor checks the result and records attendance manually when someone was outside the photo or left before it was taken.

That record becomes useful after class. An instructor can review participation before a student conversation, while the person handling membership administration can check payment status separately. A school owner can evaluate both tasks without assuming that someone who attended is also paid up.

Choose a short list of priorities. If missing attendance records are the main problem, start with a complete class. If follow-up is inconsistent, ask a staff member to find a student’s recent training history and explain what they would do next.

## How can you compare cost with the work you do now?

Write down where each record currently lives. A school may have attendance in a notebook, contact details on a registration form and membership questions scattered across messages. Pick a real task from each part of that routine and follow it through to the result.

| School task | What to inspect during a trial |
| --- | --- |
| Student registration | Can the student complete the registration link and provide a face photo? |
| Class attendance | Can an authorized instructor send the photo and review the recognized students? |
| An attendance correction | Can staff record a confirmed participant who was missing from the photo? |
| Absence follow-up | Can the person contacting a student find their recent classes first? |
| Membership review | Can the responsible staff member locate the student’s payment status? |
| Instructor cover | Can a substitute follow the same attendance procedure? |

Ask each person to complete their task, then retrieve the result later. A successful photo submission matters, but so does finding the right attendance record when a student asks about last week’s class.

If you want to compare time spent, measure your own operation. Observe similar classes before and during the trial, including the time required to correct exceptions. Keep initial training time separate from the routine that staff repeat after every class. This gives you an observation you can explain, without relying on a promised percentage saving.

## What should you ask about before subscribing?

Take the current price and student capacity into the discussion, along with your roster. Ask how to handle a growing school, what the renewal and cancellation terms are, and what information is needed to get started. Save the agreed answers with the proposal.

Discuss membership payments as a separate workflow. Explain who collects dues, who checks late payments and who speaks to the student. Ask how payment processing is charged and which arrangements apply to your school before putting a total operating cost into the budget.

If you already keep attendance or belt history elsewhere, show the team a representative sample. Identify the date range and which records you need to consult after the change. This allows the conversation to address your actual records without assuming that a particular import or integration exists.

Include equipment requirements in the same review. Describe the device, the task it performs and who uses it. A question about a named access-control device is more useful than a general request for “all integrations.”

## How should you prepare the team for a software change?

Map the responsibilities before the trial. Name the person who prepares student registration, the instructor who records attendance and the staff member who reviews missed classes. Where one person handles several roles, write down when each task happens so the follow-up does not disappear behind a busy teaching schedule.

Prepare the information each person needs. An instructor covering a class needs the timetable, an authorized WhatsApp number and a way to resolve an attendance exception. The person following up with absent students needs the completed class record and any earlier conversation about a break. Both should know whom to ask when a detail is unclear.

Choose a date for the new routine and identify where older information remains available. Keep existing records organized while the team learns to find new entries. A student asking about an earlier class should not be sent between staff members who each believe the other holds the record.

At the end of the trial, have someone who did not make the original entry retrieve it. Ask them to explain which student, class and date they found. That check shows whether the record is useful across the team, beyond the person who submitted the photo.

Include this preparation in the decision. A subscription has a published price, while the school also needs time to organize its own roster and responsibilities. Write down the remaining setup work and assign it before deciding when to extend the process to all classes.

## How do you run a useful trial at a martial arts school?

Choose one class and name the instructor responsible for attendance. Register its students, confirm the instructor’s WhatsApp number is authorized, and run the class-photo workflow. Then ask another team member to locate one student’s attendance history.

Include an exception your school needs to handle. A student may leave early, a face may be hidden, or a substitute may cover the session. The [paperless BJJ attendance guide](https://facedojo.net/en/blog/bjj-attendance-without-paper/) explains how to build those checks into the end of class.

Review the result with the team. Record what each person completed, where they needed help and which instruction resolved the problem. A question about finding a class calls for a different follow-up from a question about billing terms. Keep those open items with the proposal, then return to each one with the staff member who will own the task. The decision should reflect the routine the school has actually tried.

If retention is the main reason for evaluating software, use the [student follow-up workflow](https://facedojo.net/en/blog/martial-arts-student-retention/) to test the next step after an absence alert. If instructors need training records for promotion reviews, include the [belt history checklist](https://facedojo.net/en/blog/bjj-belt-promotion-tracking/).

Bring the price, student limit, commercial terms and completed tasks together before deciding. The [FaceDojo pricing page](https://facedojo.net/en/pricing/) gives the current offer; the trial shows how that offer fits the work of your school.
