Skool.co vs skool.com — and which one you actually want

The real domain is skool.com

Skool — the community and courses platform built by Sam Ovens — runs at skool.com. That's the only legitimate domain for the platform. If you're trying to log in, sign up, or visit a community, the URL should always start with https://skool.com/...

A few facts about the legitimate domain:

• HTTPS only. Plain http redirects automatically.
• www.skool.com redirects to skool.com.
• Community URLs use the format skool.com/community-name.
• The mobile apps (iOS, Android) connect to the same backend.

The site has been at skool.com since launch in 2019. There has been no rebrand to a different TLD. If anyone tells you 'Skool moved to skool.co,' it's wrong.

What skool.co actually is

Skool.co is a separate domain — owned by a different organization, often parked, redirected, or used by an unrelated business depending on the day. It is not the community platform.

Why people end up there:

• Typing 'skool co' into a search bar and clicking the first link.
• Confusing the .com / .co TLDs (common mistake — Twitter has fought spam at twitter.co for years).
• Old screenshots or videos that mistyped the domain.

What could be at skool.co on any given day:

• A parking page with ads.
• A redirect to an unrelated business.
• Occasionally a phishing clone trying to harvest Skool logins.

None of these are owned by the legitimate Skool team. If you've already entered credentials at skool.co, change your skool.com password immediately and revoke any active sessions from Settings → Security.

Phishing lookalikes to watch for

Skool has enough public profile (thanks to Alex Hormozi and Sam Ovens) to attract phishing. Common lookalike domains to avoid:

• skool.co (different TLD)
• skool.cm (Cameroon TLD, easy typo)
• skool-app.com (added word)
• skool-login.com (impersonates login)
• skoool.com (extra letter)
• 5kool.com (digit substitution)

Quick safety checklist before logging in:

1. The URL is exactly skool.com with nothing after the .com except a slash and community name. 2. The browser shows a valid HTTPS lock icon. 3. You typed the URL yourself or clicked from a verified bookmark/email. 4. Two-factor is enabled on your account (Settings → Security).

If in doubt, close the tab and re-type skool.com manually. Don't click suspicious 'Login to Skool' links from emails — go straight to the platform and log in there.

What Skool the platform does

Now that we've cleared up the URL confusion: Skool (at skool.com) is a paid community platform priced at $99/month per community with a 14-day free trial. Each community is hosted at skool.com/your-name.

Core features:

• A community feed (posts, comments, likes).
• A classroom for hosting courses (modules, lessons, video).
• A calendar for events.
• A leaderboard tied to gamification points.
• DMs, notifications, and a Stripe payments connection.
• iOS and Android apps.

What Skool doesn't include: native automation (DM sequences, churn-saver, lifecycle flows), email broadcasts, deep analytics, a real CRM, or custom domains. Most serious operators add a tool like tools4skool for the automation gap and use ConvertKit/Beehiiv for email.

If you found this page after typing skool.co into a browser, take this as a friendly heads-up: bookmark https://skool.com and use that bookmark from now on. Saves you a typo, saves you a phishing risk.
