What’s Included in Skool’s $9 Hobby Plan?

Let’s break it down.

Here’s what you get for $9/month:

✅ Unlimited members

✅ Unlimited courses

✅ One admin seat

✅ All core features

✅ 10% transaction fee

Here’s what you don’t get:

❌ Custom domain

❌ Hiding suggested communities

❌ Multiple admins

But if you're just starting out? You probably don’t need those yet.

🟡 Hobby vs Pro – What’s Different?

Feature	Hobby ($9/mo)	Pro ($99/mo)
Transaction Fee	10%	2.9%
Admins	1	Unlimited
Custom URL	❌	✅
Hide Suggested Communities	❌	✅
Unlimited Members	✅	✅
Unlimited Courses	✅	✅

Who Should Use the $9 Plan?

This plan is tailor-made for:

🧑‍🏫 Coaches and consultants testing a new offer

📝 Newsletter writers looking to build a tribe

🎙️ Podcasters ready to host their audience

🎓 Course creators launching their first program

🎮 Creators tired of Patreon’s fees and limits

Skool’s $9 plan removes the risk and opens the door. If you’ve got an idea and an audience—even a small one—there’s no excuse not to launch now.

Why Skool Still Beats the Competition at $9

Skool vs Patreon vs Circle vs Discord

Let’s talk numbers.

Platform	Transaction Fee	Community	Courses	Price
Skool	10%	✅	✅	$9/mo
Patreon	14%	❌	❌	Free*
Circle	7%	✅	✅	$49/mo+
Discord	16%	✅	❌	Free

Skool gives you both community and courses under one roof, with cleaner UX and better engagement tools.

And even with a 10% transaction fee, you’re keeping more than you would on Patreon or Discord. No weird paywalls, no audience leaks. Just you and your people.

Is It Worth Upgrading to Pro?

Only when you’re ready.

If you’re doing over $1,000/month in revenue, that 10% fee adds up. That’s when the Pro plan’s 2.9% fee starts saving you money.

You also get:

Custom URL (great for branding)

Ability to hide suggested communities

Unlimited admin access (great for teams or guest instructors)

But until then? Hobby is the best deal in town.

Final Thoughts: Start Smart, Grow Fast

You don’t need a big team. You don’t need a huge list. You just need to start.

The $9 Hobby plan is your launchpad. It’s the cleanest, easiest way to build a community + sell your knowledge—without the tech headaches or bloated tools.
