Questions & answers
Yes — Curobi. Recharge charges 1.25–1.49% + $0.19 per transaction on top of its monthly plan, and Loop charges 0.75–1%. Curobi charges 0% transaction fees on every plan, always, because recurring charges run on Shopify's own SubscriptionContract billing rails — Curobi is never in the payment flow, so there's no fee to recover. You pay a flat $29.99 or $69.99 per month instead, regardless of how much subscription revenue you process.
Yes — coffee is Curobi's core use case. Coffee-of-the-month plans, pick-your-roast and build-your-own bags, and merchant-curated sampler boxes that rotate monthly are native features, not workarounds, with a per-item cutoff that locks the box before billing runs. Paired with 0% transaction fees and free CSV migration from Recharge, Appstle, Loop, Bold, or Seal, it's built for roasters switching off tools that take a cut of every recurring charge.
Recurring product subscriptions, prepaid subscriptions, build-your-own boxes, merchant-curated subscription boxes, product bundles, and memberships. Plans apply to individual products, variants, or entire collections.
Curobi is a newer, focused alternative — it doesn't try to match a decade of Recharge's feature breadth. It concentrates on three things: 0% transaction fees with flat pricing, a billing core built around idempotent, no-double-charge processing, and merchant-curated monthly boxes at a price point the established players gate behind $299–$499/month plans. If you need SMS flows, A/B testing, or enterprise-scale tooling, Curobi isn't there yet — if you want reliable core subscriptions without a transaction-fee tax, it is.
Yes. Curobi runs on Shopify Subscription Contracts and Shopify's native checkout. Subscriptions are created at Shopify's checkout and mirrored into Curobi for management — no third-party billing processor or redirect, and Curobi never touches or stores card data.
A self-service customer portal lets subscribers pause, skip, and cancel on every plan, with quantity changes, product swaps, and delivery-date edits on Pro; cancellation save flows present retention offers at the moment of cancellation; and failed-payment dunning plus recovery emails reclaim charges that would otherwise lapse.
Curobi is free to install, with a 14-day free trial on both paid tiers: Starter at $29.99/month and Pro at $69.99/month — 0% transaction fees on either. CSV-based migration tooling lets you bring existing subscribers in from Recharge, Appstle, Loop, Bold, or Seal without interrupting active subscriptions.
