I’m thinking about moving to Skool from another platform and have some questions ❤️

Hiii! I’m very tempted to move my community from another platform to Skool. I’ve been dedicated to another platform for 4+ years but the leaderboard has sold me big time.

I have a few questions I hope people using Skool already can help with.

Can I build my free community and also within a paid offer, have a private community within that? Or would they be counted as two plans? So two payments of the monthly investment?
Is there the option for people to buy courses within? Can that be disabled to purchase but still visible (as they are only sold by funnels or launches but want the awareness of it visible) and then granted access via a private link automated via email funnels?
Are there integrations that can add people to Skool from my external payment method (thrivecart) so I can sell my signature programs via funnels?
Does anyone know much about who owns Skool and the financial backing behind it? (I know this is deep but I’m serious about moving and this is important to me) I’m all for being an early adopter but am conscious of joining something that may fold so like to understand the history of the owners
If sales are made inside Skool, do they take a percentage? If so what is that?
If people rise in the leaderboard are the bonuses automatically unlocked? So no manual work?
What payment methods do Skool accept? Do they have stripe/PayPal or any shop now pay later methods?
Can you schedule posts?
Can automations remove people after certain time periods. Eg: if I have a 6 month container of a course, can they automatically go back into just the free community?
I do plan on running a trial which will answer some questions but keen to know your thoughts on any of the technical blocks you’ve found before I make this transition.

I’m SO nervous but also feeling very inspired and motivated by what this could become.

Thank you all.
