Affiliates
Same audience. Better product. More commission.
You already review Skool. Promote the professional alternative instead: 50% of MRR in year one — 25% more commission than Skool’s 40% — and a product your viewers keep because it costs them less.
“Same audience, better product to promote, 25% more commission, and your viewers save money.”
The commission, side by side
Rates only — we don’t invent earnings projections.
| Period | community.io | Skool |
|---|---|---|
| Year one | 50% of MRR | 40% of MRR |
| After year one | 30% of MRR, for life | 40% of MRR, for life |
Yes — Skool’s 40% is the higher rate after year one, and we’ll say so. The pitch is the first year, the auto-attribution loop, and a platform you can recommend to professional educators without flinching. Skool’s terms: skool.com/affiliate-program, verified July 7, 2026.
What comes with it
Auto-attribution, kept
Skool’s best growth mechanic, unchanged: when a member of your community launches their own community, the referral credits you — automatically.
Concierge migration for your own community
If you run a community yourself, we migrate it white-glove — the same service the Founding 100 get.
Early access
Features land with you before they land in the changelog, so your reviews are first.
The tool you share
An interactive calculator out-argues a listicle.
Your asset is the Skool fee calculator — it shows your viewers what Skool really costs them, including the hidden 3.9% cliff and per-community stacking, with every formula published at /fees. Tag your link and the page echoes your handle:
Honest note: the ?via= tag is cosmetic today — it marks your link and your screenshots. While the founding cohort onboards, attribution is reconciled manually from your application; tracking dashboards come later. Verified against live pricing pages · July 7, 2026.
