CustomerHub vs Skool

A Skool alternative that puts customer goals first

Community participation matters. So does what each customer is working toward. Connect goals, guided journeys, programs and peer support in one branded customer portal.

The short answer

Two different approaches

Skool combines community, courses and live calls, with points and levels that reward participation and can unlock courses. CustomerHub combines community and programs with customer goals, reflections and guided journeys. Skool can suit a group built around shared activity; CustomerHub can suit an offer that also needs a clear path toward each customer’s goal.

Illustrative example of a fictional customer, Alex, in the Momentum Fitness portal powered by CustomerHub. Alex saves the goal “I want to build a consistent fitness routine.”, is shown the recommended journey “Build Your Routine”, checks off the first task “Schedule your first workout” so progress moves from 0 of 5 to 1 of 5, and community members cheer Alex on.

Welcome back, Alex

Switching thoughtfully

Before you move from Skool

Do not assume every feature transfers directly. A careful plan protects your customers' experience.

  1. Inventory what you have
    Content, customer records, access permissions, subscriptions and integrations.
  2. Pilot one program
    Test a representative program and the customer experience before moving everyone.
  3. Confirm continuity
    Check payment continuity, redirects and which data can be exported and imported.
  4. Talk to us about your setup
    Ask about migration support for your situation rather than assuming a one-click transfer.
