There's a third option: a community app in your name — yourcoachname subdomain, your logo, your member paywall — for a flat $29/mo. No transaction fee. Your members pay into your own Stripe, so every dollar of membership revenue is yours.
You spent years building your audience. Then the platform puts its brand on your community and takes a cut that grows as you grow.
Meanwhile, vertical tools don't even sell memberships: TutorBird ($16.95/mo) is admin/scheduling/billing only — no paid membership for your students.[6] Trainerize charges per client seat, and a branded app costs $169 setup + $99/yr for Apple alone.[7]
Flat $29–49/mo. One vertical at a time — online fitness coaching and 1-on-1 tutoring — so the app works the way you actually run your membership.
Members install your app: yourname.coachdomain, your logo on their home screen. You're the brand they open — not a platform.
Membership payments go through your own Stripe Payment Link. We never touch or intermediate your member money. Our only charge is the flat SaaS fee.
Paywall · course modules with progress · live-call calendar with your Zoom links · member feed. The 5 things that matter — nothing you'll never use.
Paid communities are a proven business. The gap is who owns the brand and who keeps the margin.
Also: Whop reports $4.6B+ paid to businesses selling memberships.[8] Demand isn't the question — who keeps the money is.
We build your app only after you commit — that's how we know exactly what to build. 10 founding spots, then the price goes to $49/mo for everyone after.
Prefer annual? $290/yr (2 months free) available for founders. After the 10 spots: $49/mo, $490/yr.

Three ways: (1) Brand — your members open your app, not skool.com. (2) Price — flat $29/mo with a 0% transaction fee, vs Skool's 10% fee on the $9 plan or $99/mo on Pro.[1] (3) Focus — we build for one vertical at a time (fitness coaching, then tutoring), so the features match how you run your membership instead of generic forums.
You do — directly. Your membership price is collected through your own Stripe Payment Link. We never hold, route, or take a percentage of your member revenue. The only money we ever receive is the flat $29/mo SaaS fee.
It's a web app (PWA): members install it to their home screen with your name and icon, and it opens full-screen like an app. We won't oversell it — it's not an App Store native app (those cost $169 setup + $99/yr with other tools[7]). For paid memberships, what matters is the paywall, courses, calendar, and feed — all included.
$29/mo locked for life (paid monthly or $290/yr), your branded app delivered within 14 days of your build slot starting, the 5 core features (login, paywall via your Stripe link, course modules with progress, event calendar, member feed), plus a weekly feedback call. First 10 coaches only — after that, pricing moves to $49/mo.
30-day money-back guarantee after your app goes live: if it's not working for your members, you get your month back — no forms, no call required. Your community data is exportable, and your Stripe stays yours the whole time.
