WHY MERCHANTS SWITCH

Why merchants switch from Skio

Skio's Scale plan is built for brands that want build-a-box, cancel flows and lifecycle journeys in one place. Many programs run on less. If yours is a portal, bundles, failed-payment recovery and the tools you already use, Subrise covers it for a fraction of the monthly cost.

What changes when you move from Skio

One Shopify subscription app, one published rate, and a team that moves your subscribers for you.

PRICING

Start at $75

Subrise Launch is $75/mo plus 1% of each subscription order, with no flat per-order fee and a 28-day free trial. Skio's Scale plan is $599/mo, or $499/mo billed annually, plus 1.25% + 20¢ per transaction on orders involving a subscription.

PORTAL

No passwords

Subscribers manage their plan inside Shopify customer accounts, where they sign in with an email code. Skip, pause, swap a variant or change the frequency in a couple of taps.

Subrise vs Skio: common questions

Is Subrise a good Skio alternative?

For DTC brands whose subscription program runs on the essentials, yes: a self-service portal, bundles, failed-payment recovery and Shopify Flow from $75 a month with no flat per-order fee, with Klaviyo and Gorgias included. If you rely on Skio's cancel flow builder, lifecycle journeys or built-in SMS, Subrise doesn't offer those today.

Can customers manage subscriptions without a password?

Yes. Subrise adds subscription management to Shopify customer accounts, where customers sign in with a one-time email code instead of a password.

How do I switch from Skio to Subrise?

Book a call and our team moves your subscriptions over, usually within 2 to 3 days. Each subscription keeps its products, price, frequency and next billing date, and your customers don't sign up again. You set up your plans, product widget and customer portal while we work.

Does Subrise charge a flat per-order fee?

No. Launch is $75 a month plus 1% of each subscription order. Accelerate is $199 a month plus 0.9%, and Enterprise is $399 a month plus 0.8%. No plan adds a flat fee per order, and Launch and Accelerate start with a 28-day free trial.
