TinyPages vs Skool
On Skool, almost nothing runs on its own: every follow-up, every check-in, every launch depends on your hours. Your business can’t grow faster than your calendar. On TinyPages, your emails and automations do the work for you, and Claude builds the rest from one prompt.
On Skool, everything rests on you. On TinyPages, Claude runs your whole business.

TinyPages as a Skool alternative: why switch?
You can’t run Skool with Claude
Skool has no official Claude connector and no public API: every course, every announcement, every setting is done by hand in the interface. On TinyPages, you describe your offer to Claude, and it builds the sales page, the email sequence and the course.
Announcements, not sequences
On Skool, you can email an announcement to your members, and that’s about it: no welcome sequence, no automatic follow-up, no automations. TinyPages includes full email marketing, and Claude writes your sequences from one prompt.
Zapier, the extra bill
Skool only connects to your other tools through Zapier, and only on its $99/mo plan. Past the 100 monthly tasks of Zapier’s free plan, add $29.99/mo. TinyPages connects to Zapier and Make, and opens up a full API.
Skool does one thing really well. Here’s everything it doesn’t
Credit where it’s due: for community, Skool is the market standard. Discussion feed, classroom, gamification, native video, all in an interface that’s easy to pick up. Its Discovery engine even helps communities on the platform find each other.
But that’s where Skool stops. Your announcements can go out by email, with no sequence or automatic follow-up. No marketing automation, no API, and only one way to connect another tool: Zapier, on the $99/mo plan only. And no official connector lets you run it with AI: everything is done by hand.
On TinyPages, you describe your offer, and Claude creates your sales page, writes your emails and builds your funnel — without ever leaving the platform.
The comparison by category
Skool excels at community, and stops there
Skool excels at the community experience: discussion feed, classroom, gamification, native video. But that’s where it stops. TinyPages doesn’t offer a community yet, but builds everything you need around one: pages, emails, funnels, with Claude doing the building.
Email: announcements, not sequences
Skool can email your announcements to your members, but there’s no welcome sequence, no automatic follow-up, no automation. To go further, you need an external email tool connected through Zapier. On TinyPages, email marketing is part of the platform, and Claude writes your sequences for you.
The real cost of the entry plan
The $9/mo Hobby plan takes a 10% commission on every sale. TinyPages charges 0% commission on Pro, at a flat price, whatever your revenue.
Discovery: the network effect TinyPages doesn’t have
Skool’s Discovery engine helps communities on the platform get discovered by each other — a real lever for organic acquisition. TinyPages doesn’t have that network effect. Your acquisition runs through your own channels, and Claude helps you build them.
Skool pricing vs TinyPages, honestly
Skool advertises $9/mo on its Hobby plan. But that plan takes a 10% commission on every sale: at $1,000 in monthly sales, that’s already $100 in commission — ten times the price of the subscription.
And that price doesn’t cover connections. On Skool, everything goes through Zapier, which needs the $99/mo plan and costs extra past 100 tasks a month ($29.99/mo). No API, no Make.
TinyPages is €99/mo, 0% commission, and everything else built by Claude.
They switched to TinyPages
« I’m a French teacher launching my independent business for the first time. TinyPages let me build my site in under five hours while I was learning everything from scratch. I really appreciate having everything I need on one platform (opt-in page, sales page with checkout, course hosting and newsletters). »
Marvin, French teacher · Trustpilot« I’m not very technical, and from day one I’ve found TinyPages simple. That means my mental load is spared, and I can focus on my actual job, helping people transform their lives. I lost control of my domain name one day, and the team transferred everything (email, course, contact form, blog posts) in minutes. »
Carine, life coach · Trustpilot« It literally changed everything for me. Now I spend 95% of my time creating: writing my newsletters, my sales pages, my follow-up sequences. And at most 5% on settings and layout, all the non-essential stuff. »
Valentin, LinkedIn consultant · TrustpilotSo, Skool or TinyPages?

Frequently asked questions
Skool’s $9/mo plan takes a 10% commission on every sale: the more you sell, the more you actually pay. TinyPages charges 0% commission on Pro, at a flat price, whatever your revenue.
No, not yet. If community is the heart of your business, Skool keeps the edge. TinyPages builds everything around a community (pages, emails, funnel), but doesn’t host the community itself yet.
Yes, within limits: an announcement posted in your community can go out by email to your members. No automated sequences, no scheduled follow-ups: for that you need an external tool connected through Zapier. On TinyPages, email marketing is complete (emails, sequences, automations), and Claude writes your emails for you.
No. Skool has no official Claude connector and no public API, and only connects to Zapier. On TinyPages, Claude builds your pages, emails and courses right inside your account, and a full API is available on Pro.
Our team migrates your pages, courses and email sequences, free with an annual plan. For the community itself, write to us at hello@tinypages.co and we’ll talk it through.
No. Skool’s Discovery engine helps communities already on the platform get discovered by each other, and TinyPages has no equivalent. Your acquisition runs through your own channels, and Claude helps you build them.
No — Claude’s free tier is enough to get started: it gives you the Sonnet model, which is more than enough to run TinyPages. A paid Claude plan unlocks more usage and the most advanced models, but you don’t need one to start.
Yes. On TinyPages, your emails go out through Postmark, ActiveCampaign’s email infrastructure: your newsletters land in your subscribers’ inbox, not in the spam folder.
TinyPages has a real free plan, with the Claude connection included: you start with your site, your pages and a first product to sell, and move to Pro for emails, your own domain and 0% commission. Skool has no free plan, only a 14-day trial.
On Skool, everything rests on you. On TinyPages, Claude runs your whole business.
