TL;DR
"Skool rof top" is not a real Skool feature. The phrase is almost certainly a typo. The three most likely intents: (1) skool top earners — Skool publishes a public leaderboard at skool.com/discovery showing the highest-grossing communities, with monthly recurring revenue numbers visible on the cards. (2) skool rooftop — a community-name pattern used in real-estate, hospitality, and lifestyle niches. (3) skool top as a generic search for the best Skool communities by category. We cover all three below. If you ever build a community that ends up on that public leaderboard, the operators on top almost universally use automation tools — tools4skool is the Chrome extension most of them lean on to keep DM response times under 10 minutes once they pass a few thousand members.

The three things "rof top" probably means
Interpretation 1: Skool Top Earners. Skool's discovery page (skool.com/discovery) sorts public communities by member count and monthly revenue. The top of that list — the top earners — pulls in seven figures per year. This is the most-searched intent behind nearly any "skool top" query. Interpretation 2: Skool Rooftop. A specific community using "rooftop" in the brand. Skool handles are alphanumeric, so this would live at skool.com/rooftop, skool.com/the-rooftop, or similar. Common in real-estate investing, networking, and lifestyle niches where "rooftop" implies an exclusive vibe. Interpretation 3: Skool top by category. Generic browsing — best fitness communities, best AI communities, etc. Skool's discovery page filters by category. None of these require any special access; you can browse the leaderboard without a paid membership.
What "top earners on Skool" actually means
Skool publishes monthly recurring revenue on the cards in its discovery feed, so anyone can see who is at the top. As of recent leaderboards, the top earners on Skool typically pull in $200,000 to $1,000,000+ per month in member fees, often with 5,000 to 50,000 paying members. The pattern at the top is consistent: a recognizable creator with an existing audience (YouTube or Instagram), a clear weekly live call cadence, gamification turned on, and a paid tier between $39 and $97/month. Skool itself takes a flat $99/month per community plus a percentage of payments processed, which is why these communities are so profitable — there is no per-seat fee, so adding a member costs the operator essentially nothing in platform fees. The hosting economics are why so many seven-figure creators have moved off Discord, Circle, and Mighty Networks onto Skool in the last 18 months.
If you actually meant a community called Rooftop
If your search was for a specific Rooftop community on Skool, the fastest way to find it is direct URL: try skool.com/rooftop, skool.com/the-rooftop, or skool.com/rooftop-community. Skool does not have a public fuzzy search for non-members, so guessing handles works better than scrolling discovery. Real-estate and short-term-rental niches tend to use the rooftop metaphor heavily, so if you remember the founder's name or YouTube channel, that is your best bet. Skool community about pages are publicly indexable, so a Google query like site:skool.com rooftop will surface anything that exists. If the group has been renamed or paused there is no archive, but the founder usually announces it on their main social channel.
What top-earning Skool communities have in common (and the tools they use)
Looking across the operators on the public Skool leaderboard, four things recur. (1) A weekly live call. No exceptions — the highest-retention groups all run a real-time anchor. (2) A welcome DM that fires inside 60 seconds of joining. Skool's stock automation cannot do conditional DMs or attach images, which is one reason tools4skool exists. (3) A churn-recovery flow. When a payment fails, members have roughly 24 hours of cognitive context before they forget why they joined. The 60-second Churn Saver DM in tools4skool was built for that exact window — Kate Capelli used it to recover roughly $4,000/month in retained revenue from a $59/month tool. (4) Gamification on, with rewards tied to real outcomes. Levels are not enough; the leaderboards work when level 5 unlocks an actual call invite or asset. None of this is exotic; it just takes consistent execution, which is why the tooling around inbox response and churn recovery has become standard kit at the top of the leaderboard.
Stop leaving DMs, churn, and revenue on the table.
