Everything your community needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

1 login. 1 profile. 1 search. Skool replaces the stack of tools you're currently paying for separately.

Community

Your members discuss, share, and connect in a dedicated space. Posts, comments, polls, GIFs, real-time chat — all the engagement tools you need.

Engagement goes up. Members stay longer.

Classroom

Host your courses right inside your community. Unlimited video hosting, searchable transcripts, progress tracking — no separate platform needed.

Completion rates go up. Members get results.

Calendar

Schedule live calls, workshops, and events. Members see everything in their local timezone and get automatic reminder emails.

Attendance goes up. Community feels alive.

Gamification

Points, levels, and rewards make your community addictive. Unlock courses at higher levels to keep members progressing.

Retention goes up. Churn goes down.

Email Broadcasts

Write a post, click one button — it emails every member instantly. No lists, no segments, no formatting. It just works.

Reach goes up. Members stay informed.

Metrics

A single dashboard shows you growth, engagement, and member progress. Know exactly what's working and what needs attention.

Decisions get smarter. Growth gets faster.

Universal Search

One search box finds posts, course content, and members across your entire community. No more digging through folders.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start.

No. Many successful Skool communities started from zero. You can grow your audience and your community at the same time — Skool's discovery page helps new creators get found by people already looking for communities in your niche.
Yes. You can run a completely free community, a paid membership, or a mix of both. Many creators use a free community to attract members and upsell them into a paid tier or course.
Skool works for virtually any niche — fitness, business, music, cooking, investing, language learning, spirituality, and more. If you have knowledge or a passion that others want to learn from, there's a community for it.
Facebook Groups are free but give you zero revenue, zero data, and zero control. Skool lets you charge memberships, host courses, run events, and own your member list — all in one place. It's a real business, not just a group chat.
Yes. There's no long-term contract. You can cancel your Skool subscription at any time. Your 14-day free trial also requires no commitment — you won't be charged until the trial ends.
After your trial, you choose the Hobby plan ($9/month) or the Pro plan ($99/month). Both include all core features. The Pro plan removes the 10% transaction fee and adds a custom URL and advanced affiliate tools.
