If you're an online course creator or community builder, this video will help you understand the main differences between Skool and Mighty Networks. Both offer community platforms with courses, but they take different paths when it comes to flexibility and options available. As you grow, we'll break down the main distinctions to help you understand what is the best platform that fits your needs. Let's jump in. School has a basic interface that displays as tabs across the top of your screen. It allows you to have single tabs for Community Classroom. This is where all of your courses live calendar, member list, externally hosted events, leaderboard and messaging features. The courses are a separate tab from the community, which means that students don't have a seamless way to interact with each other when inside the course section. With Mighty, you can create an unlimited number of custom areas called spaces, each each with their own customizable set of features inside. Not only can you make a new space for any course that you'd like, but you can mix and match features within a space. Want course material, a course chat and a feed all in the same space? Easy. Unlike school, Mighty also offers native video uploads with unlimited storage, quizzes, native live streaming, and the powerful Instant Course Outline feature, which uses AI to help you generate course lessons and sections in seconds. If you want to offer courses, you'll need to be on at least Mighty Network's courses plan. Skool has a single plan to choose from. Mighty Network's courses plan is $99 a month. This includes unlimited courses admins, members with a 2% transaction fee. It also offers unlimited storage within courses, native video uploads, and support from media embeds. The school plan is also $99 a month with unlimited courses and members, but it has a higher transaction fee of 2.9%. As you grow, there isn't much customization available beyond the single available plan, and the features are pretty limited to start. Mighty Networks, on the other hand, offers a lot more features and multiple plans at higher price points that can help you level up when you're ready. Even offering completely custom mobile apps with Mighty Pro, Skool's plan will get you started, but there isn't anywhere to go when you're ready to grow. On Mighty Networks, you begin with the same monthly price, unlimited courses, admins and members, a lower transaction fee, as well as an AI outline generator that will help quickly turn your course idea into reality. Plus, when you're ready to scale, there are lots of great options. Mighty can also generate branding and marketing materials for your community and the powerful people Magic features empower your members to discover and connect and engage with each other, which helps to keep your community active and vibrant. In summary, while Mighty Networks and Schools share the same price point, Mighty Network stands out with its flexibility in setting up courses, growth potential, and access to more features and branding options. Additionally, its powerful AI suite streamlines setup and enhances community connections, making it the better overall choice.
