Revenue calculator
Estimate annual processing leakage plus platform fees at your monthly membership revenue. Maat handles SEPA payments via Stripe, so Stripe-style transaction fees can still apply; CompTeam does not need Stripe for SEPA because Blue Belt includes native SEPA export for direct bank upload. This uses CompTeam Blue Belt at €49/month against Maat at €49/month.
€3,600 Stripe-style SEPA fees + €588 Maat platform (€49/month).
€0 SEPA transaction fees + €588 CompTeam Blue Belt (€49/month), using native SEPA export.
At €30,000/month, CompTeam Blue saves about €3,600 per year after monthly platform fees.
€4,188 Maat annual cost - €588 CompTeam Blue annual cost.
Choose CompTeam when you need a complete operating system for a serious BJJ club or federation—not just the basics. Maat covers core gym administration; CompTeam goes materially further with AI-supported competition calendars and results, native SEPA bank-upload files with no CompTeam transaction fee, automated finance workflows, applied AI guidance, complete kids-programme workflows, association-wide training offerings and integrated lead acquisition. With Purple Belt discount codes for memberships, gear and seminars and Brown Belt HighLevel, lead sync and direct follow-up included, CompTeam is the much stronger choice for measurable growth with less administration.
Maat provides the foundation for running a martial-arts gym. The short version: CompTeam is the much more complete choice for BJJ clubs and federations. It adds AI-supported competition and results, native SEPA bank-upload files with no CompTeam transaction fee, automated bank clearing and finance workflows, complete kids workflows, weekly AI guidance, association-wide training offerings, and integrated lead acquisition through Instagram, email and public booking pages embedded in existing club websites.
Where CompTeam is stronger
Where Maat is stronger
Maat facts: martial-arts and gym management platform. It is GDPR-compliant and supports multiple payment methods including SEPA Direct Debit, BACS, and iDEAL via Stripe. Maat may offer CRM or marketing tools, but CompTeam's Brown Belt bundles managed HighLevel access, direct HighLevel sign-in, marketing pipelines, follow-up and lead sync into athlete management. Purple Belt also adds personal AI-supported goal planning, so athletes can save workout, schedule and general nutrition plans back into their CompTeam training calendar. Payments also still go through Stripe on Maat, meaning each membership charge can incur Stripe's per-transaction fees (0.8%–1.5% + fixed), unlike CompTeam's native SEPA XML file for direct bank upload.
