Introduction
If you've tried to schedule a post in Skool, you've already discovered the problem: you can't.
Skool is excellent for community engagement, gamification, and courses. But when it comes to scheduling posts in advance? Nothing. No native feature. No workaround in the platform itself.
This means you have two options:
- Log in every single day at the exact time you want to post
- Use a third-party scheduling tool
If you're running a serious community (or multiple communities), option one gets old fast.
The good news? Several tools have emerged specifically to solve this problem. The bad news? They're not all created equal, and the pricing varies wildly.
In this guide, I'll compare every major Skool scheduling tool available in 2025. You'll get real pricing, actual features, honest pros and cons, and clear recommendations based on your community size and budget.
1. Why You Need Scheduling for Skool
Before diving into tools, let's be clear about why scheduling matters for Skool communities.
The Problem with Manual Posting
Inconsistency kills communities. If you post whenever you remember, your community gets erratic content. Some days get three posts, other days get nothing. Members lose the habit of checking in.
Time zones matter. Your members might be most active at 9 AM Eastern, but you live in California or Europe. Without scheduling, you're either waking up early or missing peak engagement times.
Batch creation is more efficient. Writing seven posts in one sitting on Sunday is faster than writing one post every day. But without scheduling, you can't batch effectively.
Life happens. Vacations, sick days, busy periods. Without scheduled content, your community goes dark when you do.
What Good Scheduling Enables
- Consistent posting rhythm: Same time, same days, every week
- Optimal timing: Post when members are active, not when you're available
- Content batching: Create a week's content in one focused session
- Recurring posts: Weekly check-ins, daily prompts, monthly challenges on autopilot
- Multi-community management: Run several communities without multiplying your time
- Team collaboration: Let team members schedule without sharing your login
What Skool Offers Natively
As of early 2025, Skool offers:
- No post scheduling
- No recurring posts
- No content calendar
- No draft saving (beyond browser cache)
This isn't a knock on Skool. They've focused on building excellent community features like gamification, courses, and the leaderboard system. But scheduling simply isn't part of the platform.
That's why third-party tools exist. Let's look at your options.
2. Quick Comparison Table
Here's the overview before we dive deep into each tool.
| Tool | Starting Price | Free Trial | Best For | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| StickyHive | $49/month | 14 days | All-in-one management | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| skBooster | Free / $15/month | Signup broken | Not functional | ❌ (broken + no legal docs) |
| Skool AI Post Planner | $29/month | Payment broken | Not functional | ❌ (broken + no legal docs) |
| Zapier | $20/month+ | Limited free | Custom workflows, tech-savvy users | ⭐⭐⭐ |
Quick recommendation: StickyHive is the only tool we can recommend. The alternatives have serious problems: skBooster's signup is broken and they have no legal documentation; Skool AI Post Planner requires a credit card upfront with no Terms of Service. We'll cover all the details below, but save yourself time and start with StickyHive's free trial.
3. StickyHive: Full Review

4. skBooster: Full Review
❌ Not Recommended: skBooster has no Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. We attempted to sign up three separate times and each attempt got stuck in an endless account creation loop. It's impossible to actually use this service. These issues suggest the product is abandoned or broken.
skBooster claims to focus on the core scheduling problem with a budget-friendly approach, including a unique comment scheduling feature. However, between the missing legal documentation and broken signup process, we cannot recommend this tool.
Key Features
Post Scheduling
Plan and schedule posts in advance to maintain consistent community activity. Basic but reliable scheduling for text and media posts.
Comment Scheduling
This is skBooster's standout feature. You can schedule comments on posts, which is useful for:
- Keeping discussions active
- Adding follow-up information to your own posts
- Boosting engagement on member posts
- Appearing more active without being online 24/7
Multiple Account Management
Connect and manage multiple Skool user accounts. Useful for agencies or teams where different people need to post.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Scheduled Posts/Comments | Accounts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 10 total | 1 account, 1 group |
| Basic | $15/month | 100 total | 2 accounts, 2 groups |
| Pro | $29/month | 1,000 total | 5 accounts, 5 groups |
| Unlimited | $99/month | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Pros
- Free plan available for testing
- Most affordable paid option at $15/month
- Comment scheduling is unique
- Simple interface
Cons
- No Terms of Service on website
- No Privacy Policy on website
- Account creation broken (tested 3 times, stuck in loop each time)
- Cannot actually sign up or use the service
- Unknown how your data would be handled or protected
- No AI features (moderation, content ideas)
- No recurring post automation
- No digest creation
Best For
- Nobody. The signup is broken and there's no legal documentation.
Verdict
We cannot recommend skBooster. We tried to sign up three separate times. Each attempt got stuck in an endless loop during account creation. Combined with the missing Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, this product appears to be abandoned. Don't waste your time. Use StickyHive instead.
5. Skool AI Post Planner: Full Review
❌ Do Not Use: This tool has critical problems. No Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. Broken buttons on landing page. Most concerning: their payment system is in Stripe TEST mode but asks for real credit cards. When we tried to sign up, we received an error saying "Your card was declined. Your request used a real card while testing." This is either a broken or abandoned product. Do not enter your payment information.
Skool AI Post Planner claims to use AI for content creation and scheduling. However, between the missing legal documentation, broken website, and non-functional payment system, this product should be avoided entirely.
Key Features
AI Content Generation
Generate complete posts using AI based on:
- Your community topic
- Engagement goals
- Post type (question, tip, discussion, etc.)
- Your brand voice (with training)
Custom GPT Assistant
Access a personalized AI assistant trained on community engagement best practices. Ask questions, get suggestions, and refine content through conversation.
Automated Scheduling
Set your posting schedule (days, times, frequency) and the platform handles the rest. Combine with AI generation for nearly hands-off content.
Analytics Dashboard
Monitor post performance and community engagement metrics to see what's working.
Multi-Community Support
Manage multiple Skool communities from one account.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Communities | AI Points/Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator | $29/month | 3 | 10,000 |
| Pro | $79/month | 10 | 30,000 |
| Agency | $147/month | 25 | 75,000 |
All plans claim to include a 7-day trial, but the payment system is completely broken. When we tried to sign up, Stripe returned: "Your card was declined. Your request used a real card while testing." Their Stripe integration is in test mode, meaning you cannot actually pay or sign up.
Pros
- None we can verify (signup is broken)
Cons
- Payment system broken (Stripe in test mode, rejects real cards)
- Cannot actually sign up or use the service
- No Terms of Service or Privacy Policy
- Broken buttons and links on landing page
- Asks for real credit card but cannot process payment
- Unknown company with no accountability
- Product appears abandoned or never completed
Best For
- Nobody. The service is broken and has no legal documentation.
Verdict
Do not use Skool AI Post Planner. The payment system is broken. Their Stripe integration is in test mode, which means real credit cards are rejected. You literally cannot sign up. Combined with broken website buttons, no Terms of Service, and no Privacy Policy, this is clearly an abandoned or never-finished product. Do not enter your credit card information here. Use StickyHive instead.
6. Zapier Integration: Full Review
Zapier isn't a Skool-specific tool. It's a general automation platform that can connect Skool with other apps. This makes it flexible but also more complex.
How It Works
Zapier creates "Zaps" that trigger actions between apps. For Skool scheduling, you might:
- Create a post in Google Sheets or Notion
- Set a time-based trigger in Zapier
- Have Zapier send the post to Skool at that time
Key Features
Custom Workflows
Build exactly what you need by connecting multiple apps together.
Integrations with Everything
Connect Skool with your existing tools: Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Trello, Slack, and thousands more.
Conditional Logic
Create complex workflows with if/then conditions.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Tasks/Month |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 tasks |
| Starter | $20/month | 750 tasks |
| Professional | $49/month | 2,000 tasks |
| Team | $69/month | Shared team access |
Note: A "task" is each action Zapier performs. Scheduling one post might use 1-3 tasks depending on your workflow.
Pros
- Extremely flexible and customizable
- Integrates with your existing tool stack
- No Skool-specific subscription needed
- Useful for other automations beyond Skool
Cons
- Complex setup requiring technical knowledge
- Workflows can break when Skool updates
- Not designed for Skool, so features are limited
- Debugging broken Zaps is frustrating
- Can get expensive with heavy usage
- No AI moderation or content features
- Limited support for Skool-specific features like polls
Best For
- Tech-savvy users comfortable with automation setup
- Those already paying for Zapier for other workflows
- Users who need custom integrations with other tools
- People who enjoy building automations
Verdict
Zapier is a workaround, not a solution. It can technically schedule Skool posts, but it's more complex, less reliable, and doesn't offer Skool-specific features. Only use this if you're already deep into Zapier for other workflows and don't want another subscription.

9. Best Tool by Use Case
Here's my recommendation based on your specific situation.
Best for Tight Budget: StickyHive Starter
Why: StickyHive at $49/month is the only working, trustworthy option. skBooster's signup is broken and they have no legal documentation.
Choose StickyHive if: You want a tool that actually works from a legitimate company.
If $49/month is too much: Start with StickyHive's 14-day free trial. If scheduling proves valuable (it will), the investment pays for itself in time saved.
Best for Solo Community Managers: StickyHive Starter
Why: Complete solution including AI moderation and content ideas. One tool does everything.
Choose this if: You run one community seriously and want to save maximum time with AI assistance.
Best for Content Creators Who Struggle with Ideas: StickyHive
Why: Includes AI content idea generation along with scheduling. Established company with proper free trial.
Choose this if: Your biggest pain point is "what do I post?" and you want a trustworthy tool.
Note: We previously considered Skool AI Post Planner for this category, but cannot recommend it due to missing Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, broken website elements, and required credit card for trial.
Best for Agencies Managing Multiple Communities: StickyHive Scale
Why: The only trustworthy option for professional/agency use. Full features including AI moderation.
Choose StickyHive ($197/mo) if: You're running a business and need reliable, accountable tools.
Note: We cannot recommend skBooster for agency use due to missing legal documentation.
Best for Tech-Savvy Users with Existing Zapier: Zapier
Why: No new subscription if you already pay for Zapier. Custom workflows.
Choose this if: You love building automations and already use Zapier extensively.
Best Overall (and Only Fully Recommended): StickyHive
Why: The only Skool scheduling tool with proper Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and a legitimate free trial. Most complete feature set. AI moderation alone saves 30+ minutes daily.
Choose this if: You want a trustworthy tool from an accountable company. This is our recommendation for everyone.

11. Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Skool have built-in scheduling?
A: No. As of 2025, Skool does not have any native post scheduling feature. You must use a third-party tool to schedule posts in advance.
Q: Are these tools safe to use with my Skool account?
A: StickyHive is the only tool we can vouch for. They have proper Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. skBooster's signup doesn't work and they have no legal documentation. Skool AI Post Planner requires your credit card with no legal protection. Only use tools from companies that are legally accountable for your data.
Q: Will scheduled posts look different from regular posts?
A: No. Scheduled posts appear exactly like posts you create manually. Members cannot tell the difference.
Q: Can I schedule posts with images and videos?
A: Yes, most tools support images and videos. StickyHive and Skool AI Post Planner have the best media support. Zapier has limited media capabilities.
Q: What happens if the scheduling tool goes down?
A: Your scheduled posts won't be published until the tool is back online. Major tools have high uptime (99%+), but it's worth keeping a backup plan for critical content.
Q: Can I schedule polls?
A: StickyHive supports poll scheduling. The other tools either don't support it (Zapier) or don't work at all (skBooster signup broken, Skool AI Post Planner payment broken).
Q: How many posts should I schedule per day?
A: For most Skool communities, 1-2 posts per day is optimal. More than that can overwhelm your feed and reduce engagement per post.
Q: Can I edit a scheduled post after creating it?
A: Yes. All the major tools let you edit or delete scheduled posts before they're published.
Q: Do these tools work with multiple Skool communities?
A: Yes. All tools support multiple communities, though the number varies by plan. Check the pricing section for specifics.
Q: Is there a free way to schedule Skool posts?
A: StickyHive offers a 14-day free trial with full features. This is the only free option we recommend. skBooster claims to have a free plan, but their signup is broken and they have no legal documentation. There is currently no reliable permanently-free option for Skool scheduling.
Conclusion
Skool is a great platform, but without native scheduling, you need a third-party tool to run your community efficiently.
Here's the summary:
- StickyHive ($49/mo): ✅ Recommended. The only working tool with proper legal documentation. Full scheduling plus AI moderation, content ideas, and digests. Worth the investment.
- skBooster (Free-$99/mo): ❌ Not recommended. No Terms of Service or Privacy Policy, AND signup is broken (stuck in loop). Cannot actually use this tool.
- Skool AI Post Planner ($29/mo): ❌ Not functional. Payment system broken (Stripe in test mode). No Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. Cannot sign up.
- Zapier ($20+/mo): ⚠️ Only if you're already using Zapier. Complex setup, not designed for Skool, limited functionality.
The uncomfortable truth: The Skool scheduling tool market has serious problems. Of the dedicated tools we tested, only StickyHive has proper legal documentation and actually works. The others either have broken signup flows or require credit cards with no Terms of Service.
My recommendation: Start with StickyHive's 14-day free trial. It's genuinely the only Skool scheduling tool we can recommend. The $49/month price is fair for a legitimate product from an accountable company.
The time you save from not logging in daily to post manually will pay for any of these tools within the first month.
