Curobi vs Loop

Loop is a well-known Shopify subscription and retention platform. Curobi is the flat-rate, 0%-fee alternative on Shopify's native billing rails. A factual side-by-side.

Cells marked “—” are where we don’t publish a verified figure for Loop. We only state competitor facts we can stand behind.

Flat pricing vs percentage-of-revenue

Loop starts around $99/month plus roughly 1% per transaction. Curobi charges 0% transaction fees on every plan and a flat $29.99 or $69.99 per month, because recurring charges settle on Shopify's own Subscription Contract billing — Curobi is never in the payment flow, so there's no per-charge fee to add. Your bill doesn't rise with your subscription revenue.

Native Shopify billing, no proprietary layer

Curobi runs on Shopify Subscription Contracts and Shopify's native checkout. Subscriptions are created at Shopify's checkout and mirrored into Curobi for management — there's no third-party billing processor or redirect, and Curobi never touches or stores card data.

Migration off Loop, included on Pro

Curobi provides CSV-based migration to bring existing subscribers in from Loop without interrupting active subscriptions — included on the Pro plan at no extra cost.

The honest verdict

If Loop's specific retention suite is central to your program, weigh that on its merits. If you want the core of a subscription business — plans, portal, boxes, and dunning — on native Shopify rails without a percentage fee on every charge, Curobi is the flat-rate alternative, and migration is included on the Pro plan.

Questions merchants ask

Is there a Shopify subscription app with 0% transaction fees?
Yes — Curobi. Recharge charges 1.25% + $0.19 per transaction on top of a monthly plan that starts at $99/month for new merchants, and Loop starts around $99/month + 1%. Curobi charges 0% transaction fees on every plan, always, because recurring charges run on Shopify's own Subscription Contract billing rails — Curobi is never in the payment flow, so there is no fee to recover. You pay a flat $29.99 or $69.99 per month instead, regardless of how much subscription revenue you process.
