ArraySubs vs SUMO Subscriptions
SUMO Subscriptions is a feature-deep, premium-only CodeCanyon plugin with one-time pricing and a legacy admin. ArraySubs covers the same billing depth and adds memberships, retention and analytics in a modern, free core.
- Free vs ~$49 one-time
- Modern admin & free tier
- Memberships + retention
No credit card required
The verdict
ArraySubs vs SUMO, in short
Short answer: choose ArraySubs for a free tier and a far broader feature set — memberships, retention, Store Credit, Feature Manager, Gateway Health, Member Insight, and Analytics — on a modern admin. SUMO Subscriptions still appeals for its one-time CodeCanyon pricing and niche billing features like grouped-product subscriptions and paid trials — but it's premium-only (no free tier), runs a legacy admin, and has none of those modern modules.
Choose ArraySubs if…
- Stores that want a free tier, not premium-only
- Anyone needing memberships, retention and analytics
- Merchants who prefer a modern React admin
- Teams that want an all-in-one, not add-ons
Choose SUMO if…
- Buyers who insist on one-time CodeCanyon pricing
- Stores needing grouped-product subscriptions
- Niche cases needing paid (not free) trials

ArraySubs is a modern alternative to SUMO Subscriptions. SUMO is a deep, premium-only CodeCanyon plugin — grouped products, paid trials, a master transaction log — but it has no free tier or WordPress.org listing, runs a legacy admin, and has no memberships, retention, Store Credit, Feature Manager, Gateway Health, Member Insight or Analytics. ArraySubs delivers the free core plus paid Pro modules on a modern React stack.

Key differences
Where each plugin pulls ahead
An honest read on what ArraySubs does better, what wins are even, and where the competitor leads.
ArraySubs
Modern stack & free tier
ArraySubs is free and runs a modern React admin with memberships, retention and analytics. SUMO is premium-only on CodeCanyon with a legacy admin and none of those modules.
ArraySubs
Free tier and dedicated support
ArraySubs has a generous free tier and dedicated support. SUMO is premium-only via CodeCanyon, with marketplace-style support and no free version.
ArraySubs
Memberships, retention & analytics
ArraySubs bundles memberships, retention flows and analytics. SUMO needs a separate SUMO Memberships purchase and has no retention or analytics.
SUMO
Grouped-product subscriptions
SUMO supports grouped-product subscriptions, a genuinely uncommon capability. ArraySubs doesn't offer grouped subscriptions today.
SUMO
Paid trials & one-time pricing
SUMO offers paid trials and a one-time CodeCanyon license, which some buyers prefer over recurring fees. ArraySubs uses a free core plus paid Pro plans, and supports free trials for subscription products.
Even
Core subscription depth
Both offer rich subscription controls — cycles, pause, grace periods, manual creation. On core subscription features they're closely matched.
Switching
Moving from SUMO to ArraySubs
Migrating from SUMO Subscriptions means rebuilding products in ArraySubs. You move from a premium-only CodeCanyon plugin with a legacy admin to a free core with a modern admin and built-in memberships, retention and analytics — and you drop the separate SUMO Memberships purchase.
FAQ
ArraySubs vs SUMO: common questions
Yes. ArraySubs has a free tier and adds memberships, retention flows and analytics on a modern admin. SUMO is a mature, still-maintained CodeCanyon plugin but premium-only, with a legacy admin and none of those modules.
Yes. Its most recent release was v17.6.0 in June 2026, so it is actively maintained. It remains premium-only with no free tier, uses a legacy admin, and lacks memberships, retention, Store Credit, Feature Manager, Gateway Health, Member Insight, and Analytics — all of which ArraySubs includes.
No. ArraySubs has a free core with paid Pro details on the pricing page, rather than SUMO's ~$49 one-time CodeCanyon license. The trade-off is active development and a free tier.
SUMO supports grouped-product subscriptions and paid trials, both uncommon. ArraySubs prioritises memberships, retention, analytics and active maintenance instead.
