Reviews for Skio Subscriptions (YC S20)

Some minor issues migrating from Recharge, but the team was extremely attentive with making sure everything was working and fixing any issues that arose. Ultimately we're now on a platform that gives our customers a significantly better experience and much more control of their subscriptions. I'm confident Skio will allow us to take our business to the next level while, most importantly, keeping our customers happy.

We are going to be using Skio for our Shopify checkout to bundle hardware sales with software subscriptions. The team is extremely responsive and helpful.

We made the switch from the Bold Subscription App and it was very simple to get used to. The range of actions is very easy to understand for both the customer and the company when making changes to subscription information. They did not have all the features we were used to right away. However, we definitely asked, and they definitely delivered. Responsive support and seamless customer/subscription interaction have made my job easier.

Skio app is very easy to use compared to other subscription-based platforms, especially for editing/modification; everything is made simple as the necessary features are provided in separate buttons in each profile. Their customer service team is also very friendly and assists us right away whenever we need help.

The BEST subscription app I've found by far. Feature Development > Insanely fast Support > Amazing Migration > Took care of everything for me Shopify Checkout > An absolute game changer Since moving to Skio, we took our subscriptions with flat/negative user growth for the last 2+ years and have been growing our MRR by around 10-20% per month. I think the real thing here is that you need to stop holding out for legacy providers to upgrade. They're working with "spaghetti code". Their changes are so slow and labor-intensive because they are built on a faulty code-base that their too entrenched in to move away from. Skios base is super lightweight and modular. Requests I've put in with them take weeks vs years if they ever even get around to it. Switching to Skio was probably our best business decision so far this year.

We switched from ReCharge this month and our subscription orders are already up +300% MoM. The best onboarding process and our customers are loving how easy it is to customize their subscriptions. Couldn't recommend more!

Thrilled about Skio! Speed and responsiveness of development team is phenomenal. Also love the passwordless login system that replaces the default Shopify login. So much easier for our customers. Looking forward to the partnership ahead with Skio!

So much better than Recharge... night and day. Easy to use dashboard, and we just need to go through Shopify for everything (not two apps, like Recharge)!

Kennan and the team were great and really helped us out with setup. I'm very impressed by their hands-on approach, and their ability to accommodate complex subscription models.

We switched from Recharge to Skio 3 months ago and it's been one of the best decisions we've made that actually adds value to both our customers and our team. Building great subscription software is not easy and, even though Skio still has to figure a number of things out, the speed and care with which they approach development are remarkable. They are approachable and fix/help with matters really quickly.

If you're reading this, that means you're probably on the fence between which is the best Shopify subscription app for you. Stop researching and install this app now! Having worked with almost every subscription app over the years we were a bit skeptical at first, and the initial cost was a bit more expensive than what we were currently using, ReCharge. Here are just a few reasons why Skio so much better than ReCharge: 1. Customer login is a breeze, and ACTUALLY works. When we were on ReCharge we would get daily support tickets from customers saying they couldn't login. This would then force us to walk them through an "account reset". Not only is it confusing for the customer, but frankly it made us look like we had no idea what we were doing as a company. This got so bad and frustrating for customers that we lost multiple members because they were consistently annoyed with not being able to login and just decided to cancel all together. 2. The user interface is so simple that you don't need to spend days developing training content and FAQs for your customers. Within HOURS of us rolling out Skio we received multiple emails from customers saying how they loved the new customer portal and how intuitive it is. I think anyone would agree that those are the customer inquiries you want to receive. 3. Their support team is on it. Yes, they are a smaller company, so hopefully this level of service maintains with growth, but so far it has been amazing. 4. The migration was painless and their team helped us through everything. Just a few exports from ReCharge and we were ready to go. The one downside that we've seen so far is they don't support gift cards that well. We're told this is a limit with the Shopify side so there's not much they can do at this point, which makes sense. We've implemented a work around for the time being, and hopefully future updates to the platform and Shopify in general will better support gift cards. At the end of the day, we are extremely happy with Skio and are excited to see what they do with the platform to continue expanding functionality and integrations. Keep it up Team Skio!

Skio has been an excellent all in one subscription solution. The team helped to make the migration process seamless, and we've subsequently been able to minimize many of the issues experience on our previous subscription platform. Plus, the customer support and responsiveness is unmatched. Thank you Skio!

Finally someone did subscriptions right. It's all about the seamless login and reducing customer frustration. SKIO has progressed subscription tech multiple leaps forward from recharge. Love the product and the team.

Recently made the swap from our previous subscription app and very glad we did. So far we've been nothing but impressed. The team at Skio is super fast and responsive. The admin and user account pages are leaps and bounds better than the competition. Skio looks like it will be a very positive change for our site.

Started off w/ Skio, havn't looked back. The team is great, very responsive, and is very useful in getting our store quickly onboarded. Highly rec!

We've been using Skio for close to a year now and have loved it ever since. Support has been amazing, updates have been amazing, and overall, the roadmap on features coming is amazing! I cannot recommend this app enough! Especially for anyone looking to make the jump from Recharge (or other), their team makes it so seamless to make the switch over. Highly recommend!

Awesome app so far, and constantly adding updates. Great team helping us through the setup and migration process.

We migrated from Recharge to Skio this past quarter. Immediately solved many friction points our subscribers were having around access/logins, and modifying their subscription schedules, addresses, products...etc. We can also send upcoming order reminders with Klaviyo with the same easy-login journey which allows customers to maintain a consistent branded experience. Their customer support team AND engineering team are very responsive and super easy to work with! Not something you see with some other options out there.

Made the transition to Skio from ReCharge and have not regretted it. Their product is just so much cleaner, more user-friendly, and downright better. Also, their pace of feature development is astoundingly fast. And I get the impression this is just the beginning. The migration was admittedly a little bumpy based on a technical challenge, but the Skio team was super responsive and hands-on in addressing the issue and making it happen. Strongly recommend this app.

They made the transition from Recharge easy, and we had some complicated things to work through on our landing pages, etc.

*** Update after 6 months *** The SKIO team has done a really amazing job of pushing out new features and abilities. It is definitely the most expensive piece of software we use, but it provides so many benefits and the SKIO team has been amazingly responsive and helpful. I feel like every week or two that I login they've rolled out impressive new features so I get weirdly excited to open up the app and see what they've done. *** original review below *** Really like it, and we just migrated over. The Skio login and customer portal is great, and smoother than what we were personally able to implement on Recharge. The customer portal interactions just make more sense and our users find it a lot more intuitive and we're already getting fewer support requests. Kennan has been great setting us up, excited to see how Skio grows. Balancing subscriptions and customer service is a fine line between making a service that is robust and feature rich, but also straightforward and easy to use. Skio has done a great job balancing these, and building a service that is really about making it easier for customers to add or change their subscriptions. ***

Choosing Skio as our subscription platform has been one of our best business decisions this year. We've seen a significant decline in subscription churn and customer reach outs around issues with their sub. The user experience is unparalleled and the support team has been engaged and thoughtful every step of the way. All of this has made me confident in our team's decision to choose Skio as the #1 subscription provider to support our hyper-growth and scale in the coming years.

When we were using Recharge our customers had trouble logging in. Then once logged in would occasionally get 404 errors. They thought we were scamming them. In addition, ReCharge would accidentally drop billing info and then customers would try to login and couldn't and it was just an overall nightmare....thankfully my business partners discovered Skio and we switched over and all of these issues are a thing of the past. I can actually get back to growing my business versus playing ReCharge clean up.

Skio is a great up and coming player in the subscription platform space. After evaluating other providers (e.g. Recharge, Bold, etc.), Skio was by far the easiest to implement both from a front-end & back-end perspective and the least complicated / fastest platform from a CX efficiency perspective. Additionally, the integrated native checkout, password-less account login & family-plan referral system are amazing features that you can't find elsewhere. Kennan & the Skio team have been amazing to work with - extremely responsive & quick to roll out new requested features. While the analytics aspect of Skio is currently lacking, it's in the product roadmap and with the pace that they roll-out improvements & features - I have no hesitation to recommend the platform 100% even without robust analytic tools.
