Where the cost comes from
Recharge publishes two self-serve plans. Starter is $99 a month plus 1.49% and $0.19 per transaction. Plus is $499 a month plus 1.34% and $0.19 per transaction, on a 12-month term, and adds bundles and SMS at $0.03 per US message. A Custom plan with volume-based rates is available on request.
Because the fee is a percentage of every subscription order, the cost grows with your revenue. At a $50 average order the per-transaction fees pass the $499 Plus base price at about 580 orders a month.
Rates from Recharge's pricing page, checked October 9, 2026. Estimates exclude payment processing, international SMS, taxes and negotiated discounts. Chargezen makes a competing subscription app. For a ten-app comparison, see Shopify subscription apps with no transaction fees.
