Skool pricing and review

What Skool actually costs
The monthly figure at that many members, which is what Skool charges by, including its own cut of $2,000 a month of sales where the plan takes one. Same engine the shortlist quiz uses, so these cannot disagree with it.

Every published plan
Read off Skool’s own pricing page, last checked 14 Oct 2026.
Two plans, unlimited members and courses on both. Hobby takes 10% of what you sell, Pro takes 2.9%, so the cheaper plan stops being cheaper at about $1,270 a month of sales. Two months free on yearly billing; the page shows no yearly figures.
| Plan | Per month | Includes | Over that |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | $9 | unlimited members | plus 10% of sales |
| Pro | $99 | unlimited members | plus 2.9% of sales |

I have used this one
I reviewed Skool on my channel in 2024. It is a hands-on walkthrough, not a feature list read aloud.
Watch the Skool reviewWhat I found when I used it
A simple, distraction-free community and course platform that brings everything together in one place, though video hosting requires external tools.
What I like about Skool versus say a Facebook group is it's all in one place, you control the members inside of your group and then obviously you can have more of like a distraction free community.3:06
What stood out
- I love the simplicity of Skool and the user interface, how easy it is to use. 2:11
- What I like versus a Facebook group is it's all in one place, you control the members, and it's distraction-free. 3:06
- The classroom is linked all in one place with the community, so people can come back and interact with each other. 4:14
- The leaderboard adds gamification to your community, letting members level up and unlock courses as they engage. 7:11
- You can have as many conversations with members as you like without getting blocked, unlike Facebook groups. 9:28
What I flagged
- You can't upload videos directly to Skool; you have to host them on Loom, Vimeo, Wistia or YouTube first. 5:10
- Members have to create a username, profile and bio to join, which adds a bit more friction. 3:43
- You can't live stream directly into Skool; you have to use Zoom or Google Meet which takes people out of the platform. 6:07
Who I said it suits: Coaches and experts wanting to run free or paid communities alongside courses in one distraction-free platform
Watch out for: Videos must be hosted elsewhere before uploading, as direct video uploads are not yet supported
From my review of Skool, March 2024. Watch it. Every line above links to the second I said it. Prices change, so the figures on this page come from their pricing page this week, not from the video.
