Growing your academy
shouldn't grow
your software bill.

Nest takes a percentage of everything you collect. The better your academy does, the more they take — that's not a partner, that's a tax on your success.

Nest's own published pricing charges 1.98–6% of your collections. Sign 20 more students, run a grading, grow your revenue — and Nest's cut grows right along with you. ClubRight is a flat monthly fee, whatever you collect. Grow your academy and keep what you earn.

Why academies switch

With Nest, your software costs grow
every time your academy does.

A percentage-of-revenue model sounds reasonable when you're small. But it creates a hidden penalty for success. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Flat fee
not a revenue tax

Your success shouldn't cost you more

When your academy collects more each month, Nest's cut grows with it — their published pricing runs 1.98–6% of everything you take. ClubRight charges a flat monthly fee whether you have 50 students or 500. Grow your academy, keep your profit.

Predictable
costs every month

Budget with confidence

Revenue-based pricing creates unpredictable monthly costs — a strong intake month quietly inflates your software bill along with it. ClubRight is a flat monthly fee, always. Plan your finances without surprises.

Full features
including martial arts tools

Everything Nest has, at a flat rate

Belt and grading tracking, attendance, class booking, automated grading notifications, a student app, Direct Debit collections, a free website — all included, with nothing skimmed off the top.

Run the numbers

What does Nest's revenue cut
actually cost a growing academy?

Questions people ask before
switching from Nest.

Does ClubRight work for boxing clubs too?
Yes. Nest is martial arts only, but ClubRight also serves boxing clubs, gyms, and multi-site operators — useful if your academy ever expands into a wider fitness offering.
Does ClubRight track belts and gradings?
Yes. Belt and grading tracking, attendance, class structures, and parent communications are all built in — the same martial arts workflows you'd expect from Nest, without the percentage fee.
I'm still in a contract with Nest — can I still switch?
Yes. We'll help you understand your options and can time the switch for when your contract allows. Many academies find the savings on the percentage fee alone offset what's left of the contract.
Will my students notice the switch?
Barely. Existing Direct Debit mandates transfer across, so students and parents don't sign anything new. Many academies use the moment to launch a new branded app or website instead.
How long does the whole process take?
Most academies are live within days of their data being received, with payments switching over in the background without a gap in collections.
