Skool review

Skool keeps pricing and product deliberately simple. Its pricing page lists just two plans. Hobby costs $9 a month and Pro costs $99 a month, and both include unlimited members, courses, videos and live calls, a custom URL and affiliates. The real difference is the transaction fee: 10% of each sale on Hobby against 2.9% on Pro, so a creator taking more than about $1,300 a month in sales pays less in total on Pro. Annual billing gives 2 months free. The product puts a community feed, a classroom of courses and live calls in one group, which keeps members coming back and is easy to learn for both owners and members. What Skool leaves out matters too. The pricing page lists no website builder, landing pages, funnels or marketing email, so creators usually need another tool to attract buyers, and the course area lacks the quizzes, certificates and drip controls found in Teachable or Thinkific.
