Does Skool have a free trial?

Yes. New group owners get 14 days free on Hobby or Pro. After that, Hobby is $9/month and Pro is $99/month unless you cancel.

Is there a Skool promo code or coupon?

No. Skool does not use a public checkout coupon field. The live start is the 14-day trial. Yearly billing is two months free. Coupon-blog codes have nowhere to be entered.

Does the Skool trial require a card?

Skool’s payment terms say the group owner authorizes Skool to charge the payment method in advance for the selected plan. Expect to add a payment method. Confirm the current signup screen — it can change.

When does Skool charge after the trial?

Plans are recurring subscriptions after the 14-day free trial. If you do not cancel, billing for Hobby or Pro starts when the trial ends. Cancel in Community Settings → Billing → Manage subscription.

Trial · August 2026

Skool’s free trial is 14 days. Then it bills unless you cancel.

New group owners get 14 days free on Hobby or Pro. There is no coupon code to type. Add a payment method, build the group, and cancel in Billing before the trial converts if you don’t want Hobby at $9/month or Pro at $99/month. Skool’s terms: owner subscription payments are not refunded after they run.

Last checked August 23, 2026. Skool payment terms last updated February 19, 2026. Confirm the current signup screen.

There is no Skool promo code

Coupon sites list 40% off, 50% off, “SKOOL2026.” Skool’s checkout is a plan picker, not a code field. The two real discounts are this trial and yearly billing (2 months free).

How to start

Open this signup

Use the button on this site so you land on Skool with the invite attached. Going to skool.com cold still shows a trial — this link is the one to use from here.

Create the account

Email you actually check. You’re signing up as a group owner, not joining someone else’s community.

Create a group and pick a plan

Trial Hobby if you’d keep $9/mo. Trial Pro if you need the lower fee or Pro-only tools. Don’t trial Pro “to see everything” if you’d never pay $99.

Set a cancel reminder

Skool authorizes the card in advance. If you do nothing, the subscription starts after day 14. Calendar the day before. Cancel steps.

The date that matters is before conversion, not after. Skool’s owner terms: no refunds for a billing period once it starts, including if you didn’t use the group. Cancel the trial in Billing if the $9 or $99 should not run.

What you get in the 14 days

The trial is the plan you picked — not a crippled demo. Unlimited members, courses, native video, live calls, and payments are on both Hobby and Pro. The differences that show up in the trial are the ones that persist: fee rate, and whatever Skool currently gates to Pro (check the in-app comparison).

Hobby after trial: $9/month, 10% + 30¢ on member charges
Pro after trial: $99/month, 2.9% + 30¢ (3.9% above $900)
You can switch plans; confirm inside the account so you don’t assume a reset of the 14 days

Trial vs joining someone else’s Skool

This page is for owners starting a community. Members who join a paid group may see a separate member trial the group owner configured. That is not the 14-day owner trial and it does not start a $9/$99 Skool subscription for you.

Does Skool have a free plan?

No free owner plan. 14-day trial, then Hobby or Pro. Members can still join free communities.

Do I need a coupon?

No. Press Start free. The trial is the offer.

What if I already had a trial?

Skool historically limits owner trials. Don’t count on a second 14 days on the same account. Confirm in signup if the trial still appears.

Start the 14 days

Build the group. Invite a few people. Cancel in Billing if it isn’t a fit.
