Great platform, great support - bit of a need for tech savvyness

I'd honestly give a 4.5 / 5 but there aren't half star ratings and I can't give a 5 star because there were some hiccups for me personally.

Pros:

Onboarding process though a bit complex, was definitely supported well by the individual in charge of our account to help with the onboarding. It was probably our specific experience due to the Recharge platform was being revamped during the time we were onboarding so processes changed midway.

Cons:

I think navigation to the checklist of items to check off for onboarding was difficult to get to (not intuitive). Other than that, they did a good job of providing documentation and resources in order to get started.

Reasons for switching to Recharge

More features - more functionality. Able to retain points customers had already earned and had easy to integrate components with the Shopify store.

Functionality

Pros:

Recharge has allowed us to develop a robust subscription service that has grown our customer lifetime significantly. It integrated quickly into Shopify and is easy to navigate. We're working on developing our gifting products for this holiday season and are excited to see how this helps boost our revenue for the remainder of Q4.

Cons:

The cost difference in plans is a bit of a steep jump, and it would be nice if it was more of a sliding scale based on how many subscribers you have. While we're interested in the customizable features in checkout and customer portals under the Pro plan, we're not yet ready to make the step up to the plan because of price.

Reasons for choosing Recharge

Backend user interface and customer-facing display options were more in line with branding.

Powerful platform, but not without its friction.

Functionality

Pros:

Recharge has been the backbone of our startup’s subscription program. Once it’s set up right, it just works. It syncs cleanly with Shopify, integrates easily with Klaviyo and Smile.io, and gives customers the flexibility to manage their own orders — skipping, swapping, or rescheduling without needing to contact support. From a CS and retention standpoint, that’s gold. The reporting tools are solid enough to get quick insights, and automations in the cancel flow make it easy to offer discounts or win-backs on the spot. For the price, it’s a fair tradeoff between control and convenience. You get enterprise-level stability without the enterprise-level bloat. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable. We’ve built everything from loyalty incentives to customized subscriber experiences on top of it. For a subscription-heavy brand, it’s one of those “set it up and breathe easier” tools.

Cons:

The admin experience can feel outdated and clunky — like it’s still catching up to modern UX. Certain workflows (like ongoing discounts or custom shipping rules) require workarounds that should really be native by now. Customer support is hit-or-miss: some agents are fantastic, but others copy-paste unhelpful docs and vanish. Reporting could also be more visual and dynamic; exporting CSVs shouldn’t be the default way to get insight in 2025.

Extremely powerful subscription engine for shopify

Great. I have used other subscription apps for Shopify and ran into tons of issues, such as payments failing and orders being created, and customer portal issues, but ReCharge has never let me down. When I have had any questions, and migrations tasks, the team was super helpful and responsive to help me accomplish my goals.

Pros:

I love the ability to integrate ReCharge with other third-party apps such as One Click Upsell which allows you to upsell subscriptions and other products to your customers post-purchase, without hurting your front-end conversion rate.

Cons:

The reports are a bit clunky and take a long time to load. Additionally, the forward-facing customer portal can sometimes load slowly as well.

Reasons for choosing Recharge

Features out of the box, great customer service, and an amazing dashboard to manage subscriptions.

Reasons for switching to Recharge

Glitches on the other platform, and difficulty of use.

At the time of signing, they were the gold standard for subscription management. New features have been added and have been beneficial to take advantage of.

Cons:

Over the years, they have updated their pricing model which has effected the value for money, especially as a small business. Having to pay $100/month + transaction fees has made it challenging to keep recharge, but almost all other subscription services charge the same if not more.
