TinyPages vs Schoolmaker
Schoolmaker structures and runs a premium program really well: milestones, coaching, gamification. But it stops where the selling starts — there’s no sales page, no email marketing, and no funnel. TinyPages builds everything you need to sell, and Claude writes your pages and your emails.

TinyPages as a Schoolmaker alternative: why switch?
Structure a program, or sell it too?
Schoolmaker structures and runs a premium program really well, but it stops where the selling starts: you get no sales page, no email, and no funnel. TinyPages covers all of that, and Claude writes your pages and your emails.
A choice Schoolmaker stands by
Schoolmaker says it on their own comparison page: they leave marketing features out on purpose, to stay focused on teaching. TinyPages does the marketing too — the pages, the emails, the funnels.
An AI Coach for your students, not for you
Schoolmaker’s AI answers your students’ questions from your course content. On TinyPages, Claude builds your business: it creates your pages, writes your emails, and puts your funnels together.
Schoolmaker structures really well. Here’s what it refuses to do
On student support, Schoolmaker is genuinely strong: progression milestones, native video coaching, automated testimonial collection, advanced gamification with levels and badges — all of it in a 100% French-language interface. For a premium program, it’s one of the deepest support systems on the market.
But Schoolmaker owns this choice on its own comparison page with Skool: it deliberately refuses marketing features, to stay focused on teaching. In practice: no customizable sales page, no native email marketing, and no funnel. You have to plug in an external tool, through Zapier or Make.
On TinyPages, you describe your offer, and Claude creates the sales page, writes the emails, and puts the funnel together — without you ever leaving the platform.
The comparison by category
Selling: what Schoolmaker refuses to do
Schoolmaker excels at student support (milestones, video coaching, gamification) but explicitly refuses to be a marketing platform. TinyPages builds everything you need to sell — pages, emails, funnels — with Claude at the controls.
Schoolmaker’s pricing tiers
The Lite plan at €29/mo caps you at 100 members and one course. To get past 500 members or 15 courses, you have to move up to €179/mo (Pro) or €279/mo (Business). TinyPages is €99/mo — one tier, no member cap.
Premium student support, Schoolmaker’s real strength
Progression milestones, native video consultations, automated testimonial collection, advanced gamification with levels, badges and a leaderboard: a depth of student support TinyPages doesn’t have.
AI for your students, or AI that builds your business?
Schoolmaker’s AI Coach answers your students’ questions from your course content. No AI there builds your pages or your emails. On TinyPages, that’s exactly what Claude is for.
Schoolmaker pricing vs TinyPages, honestly
Schoolmaker starts at €29/mo, but the Lite plan caps you at 100 members and a single course. For a real program (500 members, 15 courses), the plan you actually need is Starter, at €99/mo — and unlimited courses only come with the Business tier, at €279/mo.
And that price only covers the program itself: structuring it, running the community, tracking progress. To sell the program (sales page, emails, funnel), Schoolmaker explicitly points you to external tools — Zapier and Make first among them.
TinyPages is €99/mo, one tier: your program is hosted, and Claude sells it too.
They switched to TinyPages
« I’m a French teacher launching my independent business for the first time. TinyPages let me build my site in under five hours while I was learning everything from scratch. I really appreciate having everything I need on one platform (opt-in page, sales page with checkout, course hosting and newsletters). »
« I was on Squarespace and this is 4x better for 4x cheaper. Newsletter, site builder, blog, landing page, unlimited email automations like Mailchimp. Responsive, human customer service. »
« It’s the simplest, most efficient tool for creators to make ideas alive in minutes instead of hours. It’s life changing to not get headaches each time I make a new page, send a newsletter or create a course. Not even counting the pace of development, it’s by far the best experience I’ve had using a tool for my online business (and in-person therapy, retreats) in the last six years in this space. »
So, Schoolmaker or TinyPages?

Frequently asked questions
Schoolmaker is known for premium student support — does TinyPages match it?
No, not at the same level. If progression milestones, native video coaching and gamification are the core of your offer, Schoolmaker keeps the edge.
Schoolmaker is cheaper at the entry level — why choose TinyPages?
Schoolmaker’s Lite plan, at €29/mo, caps you at 100 members and a single course. TinyPages, at €99/mo, comes with everything unlimited — and Claude creates your pages and writes your emails for you.
How do I sell my program if I’m on Schoolmaker?
Schoolmaker says it themselves: no customizable sales page, no native email marketing, and no funnel. You have to plug in an external tool through Zapier or Make. On TinyPages, all of that is part of the platform.
Schoolmaker has an AI Coach — does TinyPages have an equivalent?
Not for your students, no. Schoolmaker’s AI Coach answers student questions from the course content. On TinyPages, Claude builds your business — your pages, your emails — it isn’t a support chatbot for students.
Can I migrate my business from Schoolmaker?
Yes. Our team migrates your pages, your courses and your email sequences, free with an annual plan.
Do I need a paid Claude subscription?
No — Claude’s free tier is enough to get started. It gives you the Sonnet model, which is plenty for running TinyPages. A paid Claude plan unlocks more usage and the most advanced models, but you don’t need one to start.
On TinyPages, do my emails actually land in the inbox?
Yes. Your emails go out through Postmark, ActiveCampaign’s email infrastructure: your newsletters land in your subscribers’ inbox, not in their spam folder.
Is there a free plan, or just a trial?
TinyPages has a real free plan, with the Claude connection included: you can build your entire business without paying. Schoolmaker has no free plan, only a 14-day trial with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
