Shopify subscription app fees compared (2026)

Most subscription apps charge a monthly plan plus a cut of every renewal. That cut compounds as you grow — and it is easy to underestimate until you run the math on your own subscription revenue.

As of Oct 2026, Subi lists paid tiers around $29 / $119 / $479 with 1.6% / 0.8% / 0.4% transaction fees. Recharge Standard/Pro list $99 / $499 plus percentage and per-order fees. Appstle publishes free and paid tiers; confirm any revenue caps on their listing.

Sublyra is different by design: Free up to 300 subscribers, Pro at $39/mo (or $390/year), and 0% transaction fees on every plan. App charges go through the Shopify Billing API after install — this website does not sell paid plans off-platform.

When you compare, use the same inputs: monthly subscription revenue, active subscriber count, and which retention tools you actually need on day one. A 1% cut on $50k/mo of subscription revenue is $500/month before the plan fee.
