Honest Comparison

Combat Control
vs
Wodify

CrossFit-rooted gym platform that expanded into martial arts, with strong programming and family-account features.

Wodify started in CrossFit and brings that DNA to its martial arts module. Strong on programming, performance tracking and family accounts. Pricing is now quote-based after historically tiered plans starting at $79/mo. Combat Control is BJJ-specific from day one and Australian-first.
