Pricing entry tiers: Shopify Subscriptions at Free, Subi 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. Subi Subscriptions App has the larger user base (855 reviews vs 722), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.

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.
