Your own Skool community for just $9!?
Big news for everyone who’s been waiting to start their own Skool community: You can now get started for just $9/month! 🎉 I basically summed up their video content with ChatGPT because it's the best way to show you what's possible and what not. It also takes away the fear a little bit to jump into an investment of $99 to only get the experience and see if it makes sense for you. Here we go: They call it the Hobby Plan, and it gives you access to all the essentials you need to build and grow a thriving group. Here’s what you get for just $9/month: ✅ Unlimited members ✅ Unlimited courses ✅ Native video hosting ✅ Community + classroom in one ✅ Ability to charge money and earn ✅ Basic plugins (like membership questions, chat, and posting controls) Perfect if you’re just getting started or want to build a fun, passion-driven group without a big commitment. 🆚 What’s different from the $99 Pro Plan? The Hobby Plan is incredibly powerful — but there are a few limitations compared to the Pro Plan: 🔸 Admins: Hobby = 1 admin (you) | Pro = Unlimited admins 🔸 Transaction fees: Hobby = 10% | Pro = 2.9% 🔸 URL & Branding: Hobby doesn’t allow a custom URL and shows suggested communities in your sidebar (with a little “powered by Skool” badge). 🔸 Affiliate features: Hobby doesn’t include auto-affiliate attribution (but you can still use your affiliate link). 🔸 Pro Plugins: Some advanced plugins are locked on the Hobby Plan. 🔸 Leaderboard customization: Hobby shows suggested communities instead of a leaderboard. Why did Skool do this? The team’s mission is to help a billion people find community. They realized the $99/month plan was a barrier for many hobbyists and passion projects — so they created the Hobby Plan to lower the entry point without compromising the core experience. You still get all the fundamental tools to create and grow — and you can always upgrade later when you’re ready. What’s next? Skool is already planning even more exciting features — all of which will also be available on the Hobby Plan:
