Seal is the budget pick and a sensible first app for a small store testing whether customers want a subscription at all. Its free plan supports up to 50 subscriptions with unlimited revenue, multi-language translations, product swaps, tiered subscription discounts and full API and webhooks access. SUPERSALE costs $5.95 a month for up to 100 subscriptions and adds a passwordless customer portal and renewal reminders, RISING STAR costs $9.95 a month for 250 subscriptions with a custom cancellation flow and 1-click checkout links, and LEGEND costs $24.95 a month for 500. No plan charges a transaction fee, so cost is predictable. The app also covers memberships, free trials and subscription boxes. The catch is that plans are capped by subscription count, so a popular offer moves you up tiers, and the toolkit is lighter on churn analytics and upsell campaigns than Loop or Recharge. For a small catalog, it does the core job for very little money.
