The top 10 apps merchants see when they search the Shopify App Store for subscribe, in the exact order the store ranks them. Only Shopify's organic ranking is shown, never sponsored ads.
Updated September 8, 2026 · Organic rankingA subscription on Shopify is two things stacked. A selling plan describes the offer, how often it bills and delivers and what it costs, and it hangs off the product. A contract records one customer's ongoing agreement and the payment method vaulted against it. That payment method belongs to the customer rather than to the app, which is the part most merchants assume works the other way round.
What follows from that is the thing to know before choosing. An app can only read and write the contracts it created, because the platform scopes them that way deliberately, and uninstalling an app takes its selling plans with it shortly afterwards, though the products themselves survive. Moving between apps is therefore not an export and an import of settings; it is rebuilding your plans and migrating live agreements, which is why the leading apps all advertise importing from one another.

Built for Shopify
Built for Shopify is the highest level of recognition Shopify awards an app. To earn
the badge, an app must meet Shopify's standards for safety, performance, ease of use,
and proven usefulness: it cannot slow down the admin, storefront, or checkout, must
integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, and must demonstrate quality through
installs, reviews, and ratings over time. When comparing similar apps, preferring
ones with the badge is a safe default.

Explore Rankbase →Rankbase is made by Craftshift, a Shopify Partner building apps for product images, variants, and bulk catalog work. We built Rankbase to track the App Store rankings of our own apps first, then opened it to other developers, and this directory grew out of that work. The rankings on these pages are Shopify's own organic search results; we never edit them, including for our own apps.
