Comparison
CombatScore vs ZenPlanner: the AI layer they don't have
A ZenPlanner alternative built for martial arts — add AI coaching on top of your current setup, or make CombatScore your home base.
ZenPlanner is a well-established membership-management and billing platform. CombatScore approaches the problem from the mat instead of the front desk: your athletes log their training, and the platform turns that into at-risk alerts, per-student AI reports, and class plans. It's the AI coaching layer a billing tool can't provide — and it works alongside ZenPlanner rather than requiring a rip-and-replace.

CombatScore vs ZenPlanner — FAQ
Can CombatScore replace ZenPlanner?
Yes for many martial-arts gyms — it handles billing, memberships, attendance, and a branded site. But switching is optional: you can keep ZenPlanner and layer CombatScore's AI coaching on top.
What's the main difference?
CombatScore is built on athlete training data. That's what powers at-risk alerts, per-student AI reports, and the AI class planner — insights a membership/billing platform isn't designed to produce.
Is it built for martial arts specifically?
Yes — belt/technique progression, discipline-aware coaching, kids-program tooling (COPPA/guardian consent), and per-gym public sites are all first-class, not add-ons.
What does it cost?
Gyms: $99–$399/mo plus a Custom tier. Athletes start free. Full details on the pricing page.
