Comparison
An honest, feature-by-feature comparison of CompTeam and Maat — for BJJ academies choosing between a competition-first European platform and a general-purpose gym management tool.
Maat facts: general-purpose gym and martial-arts management platform. It is GDPR-compliant and supports multiple payment methods including SEPA Direct Debit, BACS, and iDEAL via Stripe. However, payments still go through Stripe — meaning every membership charge incurs Stripe's per-transaction fees (0.8%–1.5% + fixed), unlike CompTeam's native SEPA XML file that you upload directly to your bank at zero processing cost. Maat also lacks BJJ-specific competition management, weight logs, and AI-assisted admin tools (bulk import, plain-English queries, bank clearing). Belt history and signed certificates are not part of the platform.

Maat facts: general-purpose gym and martial-arts management platform. It is GDPR-compliant and supports multiple payment methods including SEPA Direct Debit, BACS, and iDEAL via Stripe. While it covers European compliance basics, it lacks BJJ-specific competition management, native SEPA file generation for manual bank uploads (which eliminates transaction fees), and specialized features like belt history tracking or competition weight logs.
Cut Stripe fees with native SEPA, streamline your academy with AI, and manage every belt and competition detail. Built by BJJ for BJJ.
