The NEST Management alternative for UK clubs.
NEST Management is a UK martial arts club platform bundling software with fee collection and business consultancy, priced as a percentage of collections with a monthly minimum. OurClub works differently. There is no monthly fee, just one all-in percentage of what you process, card fees included, with every feature and the member app in the box.
You pay nothing until your club takes money.
At a glance.
- OurClub
- UK-built club management for any sport: memberships, payments, class scheduling, attendance, safeguarding and a native member app, plus gradings and licensing where the sport uses them. You pay a single rate from 4.25% of what you process, tapering as your volume grows, with no fixed monthly cost.
- NEST Management
- Fees from 1.98%–6% of collections with a £50 minimum. Their published band averages: 25–50 students £77.94/month, 50–100 students £149.67/month, 100–250 students £349.05/month; 250+ is a bespoke quote. Collection is included in their percentage - like OurClub, an all-in model.

Switching questions.
How does OurClub pricing compare with NEST Management?
Both are percentage models with fees included, so the comparison is direct: NEST publishes band averages of £149.67/month for 50–100 students and £349.05/month for 100–250; a 100-student club at £30 a head works out around £91 on OurClub’s founding ladder (£121 standard) - and there is no £50 monthly minimum.
NEST includes business consultancy - does OurClub?
No, and that's part of the price difference. OurClub is the software platform: memberships, payments, scheduling, gradings, safeguarding and the member app. If bundled consultancy is what you want, NEST's model may suit you; if you want the platform without paying for consultancy, that's us.
Can I move my club from NEST to OurClub?
Yes. Export your member and class data and our structured importer brings it across. Members securely set up their payments at first login, and there is no minimum fee while you transition - you pay only on what you process.
