Two community products at two different fee styles
Skool's choice is inside Skool: Hobby is cheap until the 10% matters, Pro is $99 and takes 2.9%. Both plans include the same unlimited members, courses, videos and live calls.
Circle Professional at $89/month on annual billing is close to Skool Pro's $99 and its fee is Not published. Business at $199 adds workflows and APIs.
WithMe is the odd one out on purpose. The community is included, and so are the course and the coaching calendar, at a plan price under both Pro and Professional.

On $1,000 of membership sales, Skool Hobby's 10% is $100 and Skool Pro's 2.9% is $29. Hobby that month is $9 plus $100. Pro is $99 plus $29, which is $128. Circle Professional is $89/month on annual billing. Fees on Circle are Not published. WithMe is $25, and the commission is $0.
What you give up
Skool if members came from Skool and use the points. Circle if you need the workflow product on Business or above. WithMe if the community should sit in the same hub as the course. Posts and points do not migrate.
