Pricing entry tiers: Rewind Backups at Free trial available, Appstle℠ Subscriptions App at Free plan available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (apps, orders, integrations) varies. Appstle℠ Subscriptions App has the larger user base (7,656 reviews vs 616), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Rewind Backups's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Appstle℠ Subscriptions App; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Rewind Backups's 616-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Appstle℠ Subscriptions App's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Shopify App Store listing every 24 hours. AppRanks does not accept payment to influence comparison outcomes; the methodology is documented on the About page and applies identically to every pair on the site.

Amazing customer service - they helped me completely localize the subscription widget into Traditional Chinese. Super fast, kind, and responsive. Good app.
Great customer support! Kate was very helpful
Great service!!!
The support has been great, but I'm having an issue with my subscription plans. The issue may be with Shopify but I'm still working it out.
Migration support varies by app and category. Rewind Backups and Appstle℠ Subscriptions App both publish their export options on their marketplace listing pages (or in their support docs); some apps offer one-click import from competitors, others require CSV. The fastest check: search "import from Rewind Backups" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
