Shopify subscription apps compared: real monthly cost incl. transaction fees

Recurring orders. Pricing depends on subscribers, and sometimes a fee on every renewal.

A transaction fee on renewals can cost more than the monthly plan once you pass a few hundred subscribers.

Cheapest plan that fits each volume. “From” means the vendor publishes only a starting price at that size; “not published” means we could not read a price, so we do not show one.
