Independent analysis of the Skool platform economy — pricing, revenue tiers, growth channels and what actually works for community owners.https://theskoolreport.com/en-ushttps://theskoolreport.com/analysis/skool-badges-explained/https://theskoolreport.com/analysis/skool-badges-explained/What the clover, rocket, crown, diamond and goat badges on a Skool profile mean — the monthly revenue each represents, and why the fire badge is not revenue at all.Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe badges beside a Skool community owner's name are monthly recurring revenue milestones: 🍀 clover is $3k/month, 🚀 rocket is $10k, 👑 crown is $30k, 💎 diamond is $100k, ♦️ is $300k and 🐐 goat is $1m. The 🔥 fire badge is different — it marks a 30-day activity streak and is shown instead of the revenue badge, so it hides revenue rather than indicating a lack of it.https://theskoolreport.com/analysis/skool-growth-boost/https://theskoolreport.com/analysis/skool-growth-boost/Skool Growth Boost explained — how the 30–70% revenue share works, what it does to conversion and retention, the four unresolved problems, and what improves results.Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTGrowth Boost is Skool paying for Facebook and Instagram advertising that sends traffic to your community's About page. In exchange Skool takes a share of the revenue from members it brings you — 30% by default, and since late August 2026 you can bid that up to 70% to compete for more traffic. It does not touch revenue from members you already had or acquired yourself.https://theskoolreport.com/analysis/skool-reviews/https://theskoolreport.com/analysis/skool-reviews/Skool's own A/B test found communities with a few bad reviews outperform ones with a flawless score — and the owners asking to delete them are hurting themselves.Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTSkool Reviews launched in August 2026. Thirty-one days after joining, paying members are automatically prompted to rate a community; owners cannot ask for reviews or offer incentives, and free members are not eligible. Skool then A/B tested communities with and without reviews and found something counterintuitive: a 4.9 rating converts better than a perfect 5.0, because a visible negative review makes the positive ones believable.https://theskoolreport.com/analysis/average-skool-community-size/https://theskoolreport.com/analysis/average-skool-community-size/Across more than 52,000 Skool communities the median has 60 members and 46 posts. Nearly a quarter have fewer than ten posts ever. Here is what normal actually looks like.Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTAcross more than 52,000 observed Skool communities, the median has 60 members and 46 posts in its entire history. A quarter of the way down the distribution sits at 18 members; three quarters of the way up is 225. Fewer than one percent exceed 10,000 members, and the largest 1% hold nearly 44% of all memberships. Because large communities are more likely to be observed than small ones, the true platform-wide median is probably lower than 60 rather than higher.
