Overview
Skio is a subscription platform for Shopify stores. It provides recurring billing, a customer portal where subscribers skip, swap, pause or change orders themselves, and a visual builder for cancel flows, discounts, gifts and product swaps triggered by cancel reason, order milestone or segment. Analytics, segmentation, SMS, bulk editing and migration from other platforms are included.
- Best for
- Shopify DTC brands with existing subscription volume migrating off another subscription platform
- Pricing
- Scale is $499/month billed annually or $599/month billed monthly, plus a 1% + 20¢ transaction fee on orders involving a subscription; Enterprise is custom-priced.
Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Every feature included in the Scale plan; nothing gated by tier
- No-code builder for cancel flows, offers, swaps and upsells
- Migration, onboarding and training handled by the Skio team
- 200+ app integrations, plus webhooks and API access
Trade-offs
- 1% + 20¢ transaction fee on subscription orders, on top of the monthly fee
- Entry price is $499/month, so it is not aimed at low subscription volumes
- Shopify only — no other e-commerce platform is mentioned
- Now part of Recharge; post-acquisition product direction is not stated
