Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Skool at free against WordPress's free with in-app purchases. Skool also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). WordPress's advantage is review sentiment (37% vs 14%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
