HighLevel vs Skool vs Stan Store for Speakers

You walk off that stage and the room is buzzing. Then Monday comes, and half those business cards sit in your purse. Meanwhile your booking link lives in one app, your landing page in another, your testimonials in your camera roll and your reviews nowhere. Let's look at what it takes to run a speaking business on each tool.

The short version

  1. HighLevel is the clear pick for a speaking business. Paid and free booking calendars, a built-in video Meeting Room, AI-built landing pages for each audience you serve, revenue tracked on every page, video testimonials and Google review requests all live in one login, starting at $97 a month with unlimited contacts.
  2. Skool is built around community, courses and live calls. Hobby is $9 a month with a 10% fee on every sale, and Pro is $99 a month with a 2.9% fee. Booking calendars, landing pages, testimonials and review requests are not listed on its pricing page.
  3. Stan Store is a storefront for your social bio. Creator is $29 a month with calendar booking, and video meetings, testimonials and review requests are not listed.
