Recharge: pricing, plans and alternatives
Recharge is a subscription billing app for Shopify stores that sell recurring orders. It charges a monthly plan fee plus a per-transaction fee, with a lower-cost tier for stores with few subscribers.
$25/mo plan has no transaction fees for the first 50 subscribers. The Shopify listing shows $99/mo + 1.49% + 19c and $499/mo + 1.34% + 19c per transaction; the help center lists Starter at 1.25% + 19c, so confirm the fee. 60-day free trial.
Best for
Shopify stores starting or running a subscribe-and-save program.
Watch out for
Beyond the plan fee, paid plans add a per-transaction fee (its Shopify listing shows 1.49% + 19 cents on the $99 plan; its help center lists a lower rate), so cost grows with subscription volume.
What Recharge does
- Recurring subscription orders for Shopify products
