When to switch
Three reasons teachers move from Skool
You teach, you don't run a community
Skool optimises for community signal. Classentra optimises for teaching infrastructure: live video, attendance, grades, assignments. Keep your community on Classentra's feed and add the teaching layer Skool doesn't ship.
Keep more of your revenue
Pro at $59 / mo with 0% transaction fees beats Skool's $99 / mo + community-payment cut once you cross a few hundred dollars in monthly sales.
No more Zoom round-trips
Sessions run natively on Classentra. Students don't leave the platform, attendance is captured automatically, recordings save to the course.
