WHY MERCHANTS SWITCH

Why merchants switch from Stay AI

Stay AI pairs AI-driven retention tools with a high-touch customer success team. That suits some brands well. If your plan is simpler, the basics carry a lot of weight: a portal that makes skipping easier than cancelling, and payments that recover on their own. Subrise does the basics well, at a price that leaves room in your budget.

What changes when you move from Stay AI

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

RETENTION

Easy to stay

Subscribers skip, pause, swap variants or change their frequency themselves, so a busy month becomes a skip instead of a cancellation. Failed payments retry on their own.

PRICING

Lower costs

Subrise Launch is $75/mo plus 1% of each subscription order, with no flat per-order fee. Stay AI's Standard plan is $499/mo with no contract, or $299/mo on an annual contract, plus 1% + 19¢ per transaction.

AUTOMATION

Shopify Flow

Automate subscription work in Shopify Flow with 20 subscription triggers and 16 actions, and ask Shopify Sidekick about your subscriptions. Nothing to connect.

Subrise vs Stay AI: common questions

Is Subrise a good Stay AI alternative?

If your retention plan rests on a portal customers like using, bundles and reliable payment retries, yes, from $75 a month with no flat per-order fee. Stay AI goes further on AI tooling, with winback campaigns, A/B testing, predictive analytics and an email and SMS chatbot. Subrise doesn't offer those.

How does Subrise help reduce subscription churn?

By making it easy to stay. Customers can skip an order, pause, swap a variant or change their delivery frequency from the portal or their Shopify account, and failed payments are retried automatically.

How do I switch from Stay AI 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.
