Skool isn’t the only platform you can build your community on. A lot of people have used platforms like Discord, Facebook and more in the past.
But Skool is by far the BEST platform to build a community on. Here’s why it's the best in my opinion:
1. All-In-One Platform
Skool combines everything you need: courses, discussions, live chat, and gamification. Unlike Discord (which is just a chat tool) or Facebook (which has a clunky group setup), Skool keeps everything organized under one roof.
2. Built-In Gamification
Skool’s leaderboard and level-up system encourage engagement and reward participation. This feature is missing on Facebook and requires custom bots on Discord, making it way easier to keep your members active and motivated.
3. No Distractions
Facebook groups are loaded with ads and notifications that pull members’ attention away. Discord can feel overwhelming with constant pings. Skool, on the other hand, is distraction-free, so your members stay focused on the community and the value you’re delivering.
4. Better Content Organization
Discord is great for casual chat, but terrible for structured learning. Facebook posts get buried quickly. Skool lets you categorize and organize content into clear courses and topics—so your community can actually find what they’re looking for.
5. Designed for Real Community Building
Unlike other platforms that feel like social media with chatrooms slapped on, Skool was designed specifically for communities. Every feature—from the classroom setup to the group chat—is built to nurture relationships and keep people coming back.
I'm sure many of you already know most of these reasons considering you're on Skool right now - but that is why Skool clears the competition in my opinion.
