🍄 1 Minute Skool Mavericks Tip: 🍄
- See why you should start with the "Hobby Plan" & when to switch to the "PRO Plan".
Buttt..... some of you want more details on the plan differences so...
Skool Pricing Plans (Hobby vs Pro) — the simple breakdown 👇😄
If you’ve been looking at “Skool Pricing Plans” you’re probably wondering:
- How much does Skool cost?
- What’s the difference between Hobby and Pro?
- When should I upgrade?
Good news: Skool keeps it crazy simple.
✅ Skool has TWO paid plans:
- Hobby — $9/month
- Pro — $99/month
Here’s what’s cool… Skool isn’t doing the whole “basic plan is missing everything” thing.
On both plans, you can still build a legit community and run your content without a bunch of annoying restrictions.
But the REAL difference isn’t about features…
It’s about transaction fees (aka how much Skool takes when you get paid).
💸 Hobby Plan ($9/month)
- Lower monthly cost ✅
- Higher transaction fee: 10% ⚠️
This plan is perfect if you’re:
- Just testing a community idea
- Building a free group first
- Not selling much yet
- Wanting the cheapest way to start without overthinking it
Think of Hobby like:“Let me start today without committing to $99/month.”
🚀 Pro Plan ($99/month)
- Higher monthly cost ✅
- Lower transaction fee: 2.9% ✅
This plan is best if you’re:
- Running a paid community
- Starting to scale revenue
- Selling memberships, workshops, or programs
- Tired of giving up 10% of your income
Think of Pro like:“I’m building something real, and I want to keep my margins.”
Quick napkin math (this is the whole game)
Let’s say you make $1,000/month from your community:
- Hobby fee at 10% = about $100 gone
- Pro fee at 2.9% = about $29 gone
That’s a ~$71 difference in fees… every month.
And as your revenue grows, that gap grows FAST.
My simple recommendation:
If you’re new → start with Hobby ($9/month)
Build momentum. Validate the idea. Get members.
Once you’re consistently making money (or preparing a big launch) and the 10% fee starts to sting → upgrade to Pro ($99/month) and keep more of what you earn.
That’s the cleanest way to use Skool without overcomplicating it.
