Pricing entry tiers: Memberly ‑ Private Store 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 (7,509 reviews vs 4), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Memberly ‑ Private Store'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 — Memberly ‑ Private Store's 4-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.

Brilliant App and unbelievably helpful merchant success engineers! Highly recommend!
We had to migrate all of our Shopify subscriptions from Shopify Subscriptions to Appstle, and the entire experience was outstanding. The migration itself was smooth, but what impressed us even more was the support team. They didn't just answer questions—they actively helped us customize the subscription widget, custome
Great app and amazing service/help chat.
Migration support varies by app and category. Memberly ‑ Private Store 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 Memberly ‑ Private Store" in each app's help center. AppRanks does not track migration tooling directly — this is a category-specific capability worth verifying before commitment.
