BJJChat Attendance System vs GymShakti

BJJChat Attendance System provides class scheduling, member check-in, and attendance tracking for Brazilian jiu-jitsu academies. Members can check in by QR code or optional hands-free face recognition; a tablet kiosk also supports manual member search, live attendee counts, and roster updates. Admins can create recurring or one-time classes, set capacity limits, and assign coaches. Attendance reporting includes daily, weekly, and monthly views, student streaks, multi-location management, coach-hour tracking, and a real-time occupancy dashboard. The free plan is listed at free, billed forever, with no tiers or per-member fees and unlimited coaches and students. It also includes over 20 training tools, curriculum and belt progression, AI coaching, scheduling and check-in, and a technique library with over 1000 techniques. With permission, the iOS app can write verified check-ins to Apple Health and add classes to iOS Calendar; Android can write exercise sessions to Health Connect. Billing, CRM, and SMS are on the roadmap rather than current features.

GymShakti is gym management software for Indian gym owners, combining member CRM, billing, attendance, and WhatsApp tools. Members can check in with a digital QR pass; the site describes scanning as under one second and offline-ready. Trainers can prepare weekly workout programs with sets, reps, rest intervals, YouTube links, and version history. WhatsApp dues reminders can be scheduled 7, 3, and 1 days before membership expiry, with a pre-filled payment link. Razorpay checkout supports UPI, card, and net banking renewals, with funds settling to the gym's bank account. Payments generate branded PDF receipts, and the monthly ledger can be exported. Members can add a branded PWA to their home screen for QR access, workout plans, check-in history, and receipts; installation uses Chrome on Android or Safari on iPhone without an app store. Staff have separate role-based logins, and the maker's team imports member data from Google Sheets, Excel, or CSV at no charge. GymShakti runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Annual plans include Starter at ₹3,299 a year, Growth at ₹5,499 a year, and Pro at ₹9,999 a year.
