Why Course Creators Choose Ruzuku
The key differences that make Ruzuku the better choice for creators who prioritize teaching.
Structured Learning That Sticks
Skool gamifies engagement with points and leaderboards. Ruzuku is built for actual learning outcomes — quizzes, assignments, drip content, and progress tracking.
Engagement is great, but if students aren't learning and transforming, what's the point?
Radically Easy to Use
Both platforms are simple, but Ruzuku's course tools go much deeper — without adding complexity. Launch a full course with assessments in days.
No gamification mechanics to configure. Just you, your content, and your students.
We Support Your Students Too
When your students have tech issues, Ruzuku's support team helps them directly. Skool leaves all member support to you.
Your students get help in hours, not days — and you save time every week.
