CombatScore vs GymDesk: the AI layer they don't have
A GymDesk alternative built for martial arts — add AI coaching on top of your current setup, or make CombatScore your home base.
GymDesk is a capable gym-management platform for billing, scheduling, and member CRM. CombatScore is a different category: an AI coaching layer built on your athletes' real training data. Because your members log their own sessions, CombatScore surfaces at-risk alerts, per-student reports, and class plans that attendance-and-billing tools can't — and it's designed to sit on top of what you already run, not force a migration.

CombatScore vs GymDesk — FAQ
Is CombatScore a full GymDesk replacement?
It can be — CombatScore does billing, memberships, attendance, and a branded gym site. But you don't have to switch: many gyms keep their existing billing and add CombatScore's AI coaching layer on top, since that's the part GymDesk doesn't do.
What does CombatScore do that GymDesk doesn't?
The AI layer built on athlete training data: at-risk member alerts, per-student AI reports (strengths, weaknesses, belt readiness), and an AI class planner seeded from your members' weaknesses — plus an athlete app your members actually use between classes.
Do I have to migrate my data?
No. CombatScore is built to work alongside your current tools — no forced import. Start free and add the pieces you want.
How much does CombatScore cost?
Gym plans run $99–$399/mo (plus a Custom tier); athletes start free. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
