Recharge is the subscriptions platform for Shopify. It turns single purchases into recurring orders, so customers can subscribe to the products they reorder and you build predictable, repeat revenue. Shoppers manage their own subscriptions through a customer portal, where they can skip, swap, pause, or reschedule an order without emailing you.
Around the core billing, Recharge adds the tools that keep subscriptions alive: automatic retries when a card fails, prompts that reduce cancellations, product bundles, and analytics that show how your subscriber base is growing. It connects to Shopify checkout and customer accounts, so the subscribe option sits next to a normal purchase.
What it does best: Subscriptions at scale. The customer portal, failed payment recovery, bundles, and retention analytics are more complete than most alternatives, which is why it rates 4.8 out of 5 across roughly 3,000 reviews.
Who it suits: In our dataset Recharge is one of the most installed apps, and the stores running it are large, with sizable catalogs and around ten apps alongside it. That fits its niche: established brands built on repeat orders, like coffee, supplements, and household staples.
The cost to weigh: There is no free plan. Recharge starts around $25 a month and adds a percentage fee on subscription transactions, so it pays off once recurring revenue is real, not on day one. Price it against your expected subscription volume.
Worth knowing: Recharge is built specifically for subscriptions, not a general marketing app. If recurring orders are central to your business, it is the category leader. If you only need the occasional subscribe option, a lighter app may be enough.

How this data works
This figure comes from live detection: we scan Shopify storefronts and read the apps each one runs, then express it as a share of the 3,500,000+ stores in our dataset. It is a share of every store in our dataset, not just recently scanned stores, so it moves more slowly than the month-over-month figures on our trends page. We report what is currently detected, not historical installs or Theme Store / App Store counts.
Independent by design: rankings are determined solely by live detection data. Affiliate relationships never affect what ranks or how stores are counted. Read the full methodology →
