    ASF Payment Solutions

    ASF does not publish pricing: you get a sales quote plus a percentage of every payment collected, so your cost rises with revenue. Dojo Champ is a transparent $199/month for unlimited students, staff and locations.

    Ask Dojo & Dojo Master AI

    Ask Dojo answers questions about your school by voice, and Dojo Master acts as an AI business coach that reads your real numbers and tells you what to fix next. ASF has nothing like it.

    Churn Analysis & Prevention

    Dojo Champ scores every student for churn risk and triggers automated win-back workflows before they quit. ASF offers no predictive retention engine.

    Websites, Landing Pages & Auto Lead Capture

    Your homepage, event pages, class registration pages and promotion certificates are built in β€” and every form automatically creates a scored lead in your CRM. ASF makes you bolt this on.

    Complete Solution

    Payments plus full student management, scheduling, marketing, and AI retention in one platform. No need for multiple disconnected systems.

    Martial Arts Features

    Belt tracking, tournament management, program management, and martial arts analytics. ASF doesn't offer school management.

    Integrated Billing

    Billing connected to student management, attendance, and marketing. ASF payments are isolated from your other systems.

    Marketing Automation

    Complete workflows for trial conversion, retention, and win-back campaigns. ASF focuses only on processing payments.

    Simpler Operations

    ASF takes a cut of collections on top of a quoted platform fee, so success costs you more. Dojo Champ is a predictable $199/month no matter how much you bill.
