Loop Subscriptions vs Shopify

Loop Subscriptions is a Shopify app for managing recurring subscriptions and supporting subscriber retention. Merchants can offer subscription bundles and build-a-box options, while customer portals, cancellation flows, and failed-payment recovery address ongoing subscriber management. Loop Flows lets merchants create subscription workflows with IF-THEN logic without code. The app lists integrations including Klaviyo, Postscript, Attentive, Yotpo, Gorgias, Zendesk, Rebuy, and Google Analytics. Installation takes place through a Shopify account and selected store. The Free plan costs nothing and covers 50 active subscriptions, with a mobile-friendly customer portal, subscription alerts, and growth and revenue analytics. Starter costs $99 a month, billed every 30 days, and lists a 1.0% per-transaction rate; Pro costs $399 a month, billed every 30 days, and lists 0.75% per transaction. Both list a 14-day free trial. Admin API access and webhooks are included in Pro and Enterprise. Loop says migration and onboarding have no fees. Checkout upgrades require Shopify Plus.

Shopify is a hosted commerce platform for businesses selling across online and other sales channels. Businesses can run it from the web or mobile without coding, manage inventory across 10 locations, and use tools for order synchronization, sales reporting, automation, and employee permissions. It supports digital products and abandoned-cart recovery. The Shopify App Store lists more than 21,000 commerce apps.

Plans include secure commerce hosting and unlimited bandwidth, plus a free TLS/SSL certificate for domains added to Shopify. Shopify is certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant. Support varies by plan and includes 24/7 live chat, enhanced live chat, or priority support. There is no free plan, but the free trial lasts three days and requires no credit card. Paid plans start at ₹1,499 per month when paid yearly; after the trial, most plans start at ₹20 per month for the first three months. Third-party transaction fees may apply, with rates depending on the plan.
