Honest comparison
Wudtr vs Skool
Skool and Wudtr price the same way: one percentage with payment processing already inside it, so neither adds Stripe on top. What differs is the monthly floor and where the lines cross.
What a year costs, side by side
Annual cost at three levels of monthly revenue, on each platform's published rates. Percentages only — fixed per-transaction amounts depend on how many payments make up your revenue.
| Plan | Monthly | Fee | At $500/mo | At $2,000/mo | At $5,000/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skool Hobby | $9 | 10.0% | $708 | $2,508 | $6,108 |
| Skool Pro | $99 | 2.9% | $1,362 | $1,884 | $2,928 |
| Wudtr Free | $0 | 10.0% | $600 | $2,400 | $6,000 |
| Wudtr Standard | $14.99 | 7.0% | $600 | $1,860 | $4,380 |
| Wudtr Premium | $44.99 | 5.0% | $840 | $1,740 | $3,540 |
Above about $2,570 a month in revenue, Skool Pro costs less than our Premium plan. A flat $99 beats a percentage once the percentage is large enough, and we would rather you saw that here.
Rates change. These came from each provider's own pricing page in September 2026 — check them before you decide. See the wider comparison for how both sit against the rest of the market.
Where Skool is stronger
- A single, very simple product — community, courses and calls, with little to configure
- Gamification and leaderboards are central rather than optional
- A large existing operator community and a well-known playbook
- Its 2.9% on Pro is genuinely low once you are past roughly $2,570 a month
Where Wudtr is stronger
- A free plan with no monthly floor at all, against Skool's $9 minimum
- The same all-in fee model, so neither of us bills Stripe separately
- A content library, link-in-bio pages and a mobile app in the same subscription
- Faceless video channels and multi-platform publishing, which Skool does not do
Questions
Do Skool and Wudtr both include payment processing?
Yes. Skool processes payments itself and its percentage already covers that, and our 5-10% includes Stripe. Neither of us bills processing separately, which is unusual — Circle, Patreon, Teachable and Kajabi all charge it on top.
When does Skool become cheaper?
Above roughly $2,570 a month in revenue, Skool Pro at $99 plus 2.9% costs less than our Premium plan at $44.99 plus 5%. Below that we are cheaper, and on the free plan there is no monthly cost at all.
What does Skool charge?
Skool publishes two plans: Hobby at $9 a month with a 10% transaction fee, and Pro at $99 a month with a 2.9% transaction fee. Rates from skool.com/pricing, checked September 2026.
Can I move a community across?
Your members and their data are exportable from Wudtr. Moving in from another platform depends on what that platform lets you export — check that before you commit either way.
