- Broader free core
ArraySubs vs WPSubscription, in short
Short answer: choose ArraySubs for a broader all-in-one — memberships, retention flows, store credit and analytics alongside subscriptions. WPSubscription is excellent if your priorities are installment/split payments and the widest gateway list (six, including Razorpay and Xendit) — but it's subscriptions-only, very early stage (700+ installs), and has no membership, retention or analytics features.
Choose ArraySubs if…
- Stores needing subscriptions and memberships together
- Anyone who wants retention flows and store credit
- Merchants who value analytics and a setup wizard
- Teams wanting a broad free feature set
Choose WPSubscription if…
