Honest Comparison

Combat Control
vs
Wodify

A CrossFit-rooted gym platform 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. Their pricing is now quote-based after historically tiered plans starting at $79/mo. Combat Control is BJJ-specific from day one and Australian-first. The honest read: Wodify is broader and deeper on programming/performance; Combat Control is sharper on BJJ-specific operations and AU billing.

  • ✓CrossFit/programming heritage — strong workout tracking and performance benchmarks.
  • ✓Mature family account management built for households with multiple students.
  • ✓Technique video library and resource sharing inside the student app.
  • ✓Inventory management for uniforms, gear, and merch sales.
  • ✓Larger feature surface across general fitness — useful if you also run conditioning or strength classes.
  • ✓Larger US/UK customer base with broad community of CrossFit and martial arts gyms.

Where Combat Control Wins

  • ✓Direct Stripe with no platform service fee — money goes straight to your account.
  • ✓Published tier pricing — no "contact for quote" friction.
