BJJChat Attendance System vs ManageYourGym

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.

ManageYourGym combines member, attendance, payment, trainer and multi-branch management for independent neighborhood gyms and fitness chains, particularly in India. Members can check in and out with QR codes without extra biometric hardware. The system tracks UPI, cash, card and bank-transfer payments and generates GST invoices. Its member app supports QR self check-in, live occupancy, class booking and dues or renewal payments. A trainer app shows schedules, client rosters, completed sessions, performance information and payslips. Gyms can connect their own Razorpay account for in-app UPI or card payments that settle to the gym’s bank. The platform runs on Android, iOS and the web, with API support. Plans are $79.00 per month for Starter, $169.00 per month for Professional and $349.00 per month for Enterprise. A 14-day trial does not require a credit card. Security descriptions include TLS/SSL, encryption at rest, bcrypt hashing and role-based access controls.
