Academy software alternatives

Gymdesk is good software, but it costs $75/month minimum. MatGoat offers the features your BJJ academy actually needs for €35/month. That's less than half, plus a free tablet.

Kicksite charges more as you grow: from $49 to $199+ based on student count. Plus 1.5% on every payment. With MatGoat, pricing is fixed: €35 or €50/month, whether you have 20 or 200 students.

Kombat Evolve is good software, but it operates from the US: charges in dollars, support is in a different timezone, no tablet included. MatGoat is in Europe, with euro pricing, Spanish support, and a free tablet for your academy.

Martialytics tries to serve all martial arts, but ends up not being ideal for any. MatGoat is built by BJJ practitioners who know exactly what you need: belt tracking, graduations, and an interface you can set up in minutes.

MojoDojo charges €39/month and doesn't include a tablet or video library. MatGoat costs €35/month, gives you a free tablet for attendance check-in, and lets you upload private videos for your students. Better price, more features.

PushPress is excellent for CrossFit boxes, but it costs $159/month and doesn't understand BJJ needs. MatGoat has belt tracking, graduation history, and costs 4x less.

Virtuagym is designed for fitness gyms with machines and spinning classes. It lacks belt tracking, graduations, and everything your BJJ academy needs. And its price scales significantly with advanced features. MatGoat is simple: €35/month with everything included.

Wodify is excellent at what it does: managing CrossFit boxes. But it doesn't have belt tracking, graduation history, or anything BJJ-specific. And it charges $99/month plus 1% commission. MatGoat does everything you need for €35/month.

If you run a BJJ academy, you need software that understands your sport. Zen Planner is designed for generic fitness gyms and charges you 1% extra on every payment. MatGoat is different.

BJJLink is good software, but it's in the US: charges in dollars, support works American hours, no tablet included. MatGoat is here, with euro pricing, Spanish support when you need it, and a free tablet.

If you're not part of the Gracie Barra network, GB App isn't an option. But even if you were, GB App doesn't include payment management or a tablet. MatGoat works for any academy, with automated billing and a free tablet for attendance check-in.

MAAT charges a 1% commission on every payment you process. MatGoat has 0% commission, we give you a free tablet to track attendance, and we're a European team that understands your needs.
