BJJ Gym Software Cost Savings Calculator

There are two separate gaps inside the number the calculator gives you, and they behave very differently. The first is the subscription gap — the difference between a flat monthly price and a price that steps up as you add students. The second is the card-rate spread, the difference between the percentage each platform takes off every membership payment you collect.

At a small academy the subscription gap is what you notice, because it is a bigger share of a small bill. Past roughly sixty students the arithmetic flips: processing volume grows with every member you sign, so a fraction of a percentage point on the card rate quietly becomes the dominant line. That is why a cheap-looking subscription attached to a high processing rate can end up costing more than a more expensive plan with a better rate.

So read both halves of the result, not just the total, and sanity-check it against your own statements. Whoever you end up choosing, ask for your processing percentage and per-transaction fee in writing before you sign.

Two guides go deeper on each half:

• BJJ billing software and payment processing — how the card-rate spread actually plays out on real membership volume.
• The best BJJ school management software — the full market comparison, with every published subscription tier side by side.
