Skool Statistics 2026: I Pulled All 1,000 Trending Communities

The most useful Skool statistics are not published by Skool, so I pulled them myself. On July 16, 2026, I captured all 34 pages of skool.com/discovery: 1,000 trending communities with their prices, member counts, and creation dates.

Every number below comes from that dataset or from a named source. Where a figure is an estimate (revenue, valuation), I say so, because most Skool statistics circulating online are blog lore with no source attached.

• 82.9% of trending communities charge for access (829 of 1,000).
• The median monthly price is $29; the mean is $61.39, pulled up by a $10,000/mo outlier.
• The median community has 205 members; the 1,000 together hold 1,152,875 memberships.
• The median community is 8.2 months old; 41% launched within the last 6 months.
• No official user total or valuation exists; estimates below are labeled as such.

The price curve across all 770 monthly-billed trending communities. The $10-to-$29 band is the platform’s center of gravity, and the median lands at $29.

The Dataset: Skool’s Entire Public Trending List

Skool’s discovery page ranks communities by its own trending score and caps the public list at 1,000 across 9 categories. I captured the complete list on July 16, 2026, and had captured it once before on July 14. Every count and price is a listing-page snapshot, not a live feed.

The 48 hours between my two pulls are themselves a statistic. Combined memberships grew from roughly 1.14 million to 1,152,875, the median asking price moved from $27 to $29 as the list churned, and the biggest community added 103 members. Trending is a moving target, which is exactly what makes dated snapshots useful.

How Many People Use Skool?

Skool has never published a user total. The verifiable floor: the top 1,000 trending communities alone hold 1,152,875 memberships, Google Play shows over 1 million Android app downloads, and Alex Hormozi’s January 2024 investment announcement described "a platform with millions of users."

Memberships overstate unique people, because one person joins several groups; they also understate the platform, because private and unlisted groups never appear in discovery. Both app stores rated the mobile experience 3.8 out of 5 at my July 2026 checks, on 679 App Store ratings and about 5,850 Play reviews.

What Skool Communities Charge

Of the 1,000 trending communities, 829 charge for access: 770 bill monthly, 45 sell one-time access, and 14 bill yearly. The median monthly price is $29 and the mean is $61.39, a gap that tells you the top end is heavy.

• The center: 30.9% of monthly-billed groups charge $10 to $29. Another 24.2% sit under $10.
• The premium half: 21.7% charge $50 to $99, and 5.2% charge $100 or more.
• The extremes: the cheapest paid groups list at $1; the priciest, Gym Exit™, lists at $10,000 a month with 102 members.
• One-time pricing exists but is rare: 45 groups, topping out at $400 (REACH YouTube Academy).

Two days earlier, the paid share was 84.6% and the median $27. Neither number is wrong; the trending list rotates daily, and the honest way to quote it is with its date attached.

Community Size: The Median Winner Has 205 Members

The median trending community holds 205 members. The distribution is brutally top-heavy: the ten biggest groups hold about 524,000 memberships between them, roughly 45% of the entire list’s total, led by AI Automation (A-Z) at 164,847 members.

The practical read: a 300-member group already sits in the top half of Skool’s public winners. If you want the named list, my ranked directory of the biggest Skool communities covers the top 10 by size, momentum, and category.

The Age Curve: Skool’s Trending List Is Young

Group creation dates put the median trending community at 8.2 months old. 41% launched within the last 6 months, 66% within the last year, and only 137 of the 1,000 are older than two years. The platform’s public winners are overwhelmingly new.

Creation dates across the trending 1,000: the median community is 8.2 months old, and only 137 have survived past two years.

Read that both ways. New communities clearly can break into trending fast, which is the opportunity. And two-year survivors are rare enough that longevity itself is a moat: 137 groups have outlasted roughly two full turnovers of the list around them.

Skool Revenue: Estimates vs the Ceiling Math

Skool publishes no revenue figures, so here is the honest range. My dataset supports a ceiling calculation: if every listed member of every monthly-billed trending community paid list price, those 770 groups would gross about $21.5 million a month. Real revenue sits far below that, because member counts include free-trial and comped members.

Skool’s cut of community billing runs 2.9% to 10% plus $0.30 per transaction, on top of $9 or $99 subscriptions, so even the ceiling translates to single-digit millions a month for Skool itself from this segment. For comparison, tracker GetLatka estimated Skool at roughly $26.6M ARR in July 2026, and Hormozi’s January 2024 announcement claimed host payouts were growing 62% per month back then. The full pricing model and its 2025 changes explain where those fees come from.

Skool Valuation: The Number That Does Not Exist

Skool has never published a valuation, never announced a venture round, and never disclosed the size of Alex Hormozi’s 2024 investment. The $1B+ figure that dominates search results traces to creator-economy blogs citing one another. Ownership itself is documented, and I keep the confirmed-versus-rumor table in who owns Skool.
