Flat pricing. 0% transaction fees. Always.

Every plan includes

• 0% transaction fees on every plan, always
• Runs on Shopify's own billing and native checkout
• Built for Shopify — installs into your existing theme
• 14-day free trial on both tiers
• Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime
• Free to install — build and preview before you're billed

Both tiers charge 0% transaction fees, always — the one thing that never scales with your revenue. What changes between them is how much of the program you can run: Starter covers your first 100 subscribers with selling plans, the self-service portal, branded lifecycle emails, and a dashboard with CSV export; Pro removes the subscriber cap and adds the growth and box tooling below.

Why 0% transaction fees matters

Most subscription apps charge a monthly plan and take a cut of every recurring charge. Recharge, for example, charges 1.25% + $0.19 per transaction on top of a plan that starts at $99/month for new merchants, and Loop starts around $99/month + 1%. That percentage is a tax that grows with you: the more you sell, the more leaves your account every month.

Curobi doesn't touch the payment flow, so there's no fee to recover. On a store processing $50,000/month in subscription revenue, a 1.25% transaction fee is roughly $625 every month — on top of the plan. Curobi's price stays flat at $29.99 or $69.99 regardless of that volume. See the full breakdowns on the comparison pages: vs Recharge, vs Loop, or vs Appstle.

Starter or Pro?

Starter ($29.99/mo) is built for a new subscription business: recurring Subscribe & Save selling plans, a self-service portal where subscribers can skip, pause, and cancel, delivery-address editing, branded lifecycle emails and a notification center, and a subscriptions dashboard with CSV export — for up to 100 active subscribers.

Pro ($69.99/mo) is for growing brands with real recurring revenue. It removes the subscriber cap (unlimited) and adds the growth stack: automatic failed-payment recovery, cancellation save offers, revenue/churn/renewal analytics, the Subscription Risk Center, the curated and Build-a-Box and one-time box modes, an advanced portal (swap products, change the next order, edit quantities), migration & CSV import tools, and email deliverability analytics.

The short version: if you're launching and want simple recurring plans with a great self-service portal, Starter is a full program. Once you're running boxes, recovering failed payments, migrating in from another app, or scaling past 100 subscribers, move to Pro.

Pricing FAQ

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.

How much does Curobi cost?

Curobi is free to install and includes a 14-day free trial on both paid tiers. Starter is $29.99/month and covers up to 100 active subscribers; Pro is $69.99/month with unlimited subscribers and adds failed-payment recovery, cancellation save offers, revenue and churn analytics, curated and Build-a-Box modes, and migration tools. Both plans charge 0% transaction fees, so your bill never rises with your subscription revenue.

Are there any hidden or usage-based fees?

No. Curobi's price is a flat monthly subscription — there are no per-transaction fees, no revenue share, and no percentage taken from your recurring charges. Your plan tier is set by active-subscriber count (up to 100 on Starter, unlimited on Pro), but within a tier the monthly price is flat and never rises with your revenue or order volume. Because recurring charges settle through Shopify's native billing, the only card-processing cost you pay is Shopify's standard payment-gateway rate, exactly as with any other order.

Recharge raised its prices and acquired Skio — what's a cheaper alternative in 2026?

Recharge's net-new Starter plan is now $99/month plus 1.25% + $0.19 on every transaction, its Pro plan is $499/month, and in April 2026 Recharge acquired Skio — the kind of consolidation and price increase that has merchants re-evaluating their subscription tool. Curobi is a flat-rate alternative: $29.99 or $69.99 per month with 0% transaction fees, so a percentage of each recurring charge never leaves your account no matter how much you grow. Migration from Recharge is built into the Pro plan via CSV import, at no extra cost, and does not interrupt active subscriptions.

Appstle has a free plan — why pay for Curobi?

Appstle's free tier is a real option if you're starting out and need basic recurring plans, and it advertises no transaction fees — it's popular for good reason. Where Curobi stands apart is a bill that stays predictable as you grow: a flat $29.99 or $69.99 per month with 0% transaction fees at any volume, so a percentage of each recurring charge never leaves your account no matter how much you sell, and every charge settles on Shopify's own native billing rails. If you'll stay small, free is hard to beat; if you're building a real subscription business and want a price that doesn't move with your revenue, a flat rate is the safer bet.
