Comparing Kalisport and Paak for your club? Both are French club-management platforms. The difference is simple: Kalisport is a broad administration platform; Paak adds a real sport engine and a European stack named provider by provider. Here, factually, is what Paak brings on top.
An engine that truly speaks your sport
Paak does not stop at administration: it tracks the sport itself.
- live match tracking, with scoring adapted to each discipline, including combat sports;
- grading and belt history for martial arts;
- session passes, training groups and waiting lists.
A judo, boxing or karate club finds its own sporting logic in Paak, not just an address book and a website.
A European stack, named provider by provider
Many tools say “hosted in France.” Paak goes further: it names every provider, and you can verify them all.
| Service | Provider | Country |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | OVHcloud | France |
| Payments | Mollie | Netherlands |
| Authentication | Hanko | Germany |
| Brevo | France |
No US giant in the chain. For a club responsible for minors’ data, knowing exactly who hosts and processes it is not a detail. Full explainer: digital sovereignty for sports clubs.
Compliance built in
Paak includes coach background-check tracking (France’s loi du 8 mars 2024), designed to inform without ever blocking a volunteer. Dues run on a real payment engine (Mollie) with SEPA mandates and automatic reminders.
