Skool Video Downloader vs. Downloader for Skool (serp.co): Full Comparison

Two different Skool downloaders show up in most searches: Skool Video Downloader (this extension) and Downloader for Skool, published by serp.co. Below is a direct, feature-by-feature comparison, checked against both Chrome Web Store listings directly rather than relying on marketing copy from either side.

Skool Video Downloader (this extension)

• Free tier: 5 full MP4 downloads every week, forever, no signup, no email, no credit card.
• Platform coverage: Skool native (Mux), Loom, Vimeo, and Wistia, auto-detected per lesson. YouTube embeds route to a free one-time yt-dlp command instead, since YouTube blocks in-browser extension downloads entirely as of 2025-26 — a limitation affecting every downloader extension, not this one specifically.
• Simultaneous downloads: up to 3 at once, each with its own progress bar.
• Pricing: $9.99/month, $79.99/year, or $99.99 one-time for lifetime access. This is early-access pricing while the product is still growing its user base — it reflects where we are now, not a permanent ceiling.
• Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars on the Chrome Web Store at the time of writing.

Downloader for Skool (serp.co)

• Free tier: requires an email signup before your first download, then gives you 3 downloads. Based on the public listing, this reads as a one-time trial allowance rather than something that resets weekly — meaning after those 3, you're paying.
• Platform coverage: Skool native (Mux), Loom, Vimeo, and Wistia. No mention of YouTube handling on the public listing.
• Pricing: $37/month for unlimited downloads. No annual or lifetime option listed on the public listing.
• Rating: 1.8 out of 5 stars from 6 Chrome Web Store reviews at the time of writing.

Side by side

What actually differs

Both tools cover the same four platforms — Skool native, Loom, Vimeo, Wistia — so platform coverage isn't the deciding factor here. The real differences are the free tier and the price gap: a weekly-resetting free allowance with no signup versus a one-time trial that requires an email address before you get anything, and a roughly 4x difference in monthly price if you do end up paying.
