The Skool alternative

The Skool alternative that runs inside your own site.

Skool is beautifully simple — but it's one community on skool.com: $9/mo with a steep 10% fee, or $99/mo Pro, and no real free plan or design control. CourseKit gives you community, courses, and checkout as native pages of your own Webflow site, starting free.

Why switch

What you get by moving off Skool.

Your brand, not skool.com

Your community lives on pages of your own Webflow site — your domain, your design, your SEO. Members join you, not a group parked on someone else's platform.

Sell more than one thing

Courses, memberships, and digital downloads with native checkout — not a single flat community at one price. Run the whole business from the site you already have.

Start free, keep more

A real free plan with every feature, instead of a 14-day trial and a 10% fee on Skool's $9 Hobby plan. CourseKit's fee starts at 5% and falls to 0% as you grow.

Questions

CourseKit vs Skool, answered.

Isn't Skool much simpler to set up?
Yes — Skool is dead simple: one community, one price. CourseKit asks a little more up front because it's a real part of your website, but in return you get full design control, a free plan, and the ability to sell courses and memberships, not just a single group.
Does CourseKit have the gamification Skool is known for?
CourseKit centers on courses, community, and checkout inside your own brand — with cohorts and discussions to keep members engaged. If leaderboard-style gamification is the single most important thing to you, Skool does that one job very well; the trade is that you don't own the site it lives on.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes — free forever, with every feature included. Skool has no free plan: it's a 14-day trial, after which you're on $9/mo Hobby (which takes a 10% cut of every sale) or $99/mo Pro.
Can members stay on my own domain?
Yes. Community and courses render as native pages of your Webflow site, so members never get sent off to a skool.com group — they stay in your brand from first visit to lifetime member.

Own the community, not just rent it.

Give your members a home on your own site — courses, community, and checkout together, starting free.
