ArraySubs vs YITH WooCommerce Subscription
YITH WooCommerce Subscription is a freemium plugin whose useful features sit behind a €199.99/yr premium. ArraySubs offers a far fuller free core plus memberships, retention and store credit.
- Fuller free tier
- Memberships included
- Not locked to one vendor's gateways
No credit card required
The verdict
ArraySubs vs YITH Subscription, in short
Short answer: choose ArraySubs for a genuinely capable free tier plus memberships, retention and store credit in one plugin. YITH WooCommerce Subscription suits stores already invested in the YITH ecosystem, and it has a unique Subscription Box module — but its free tier is thin, upgrade/downgrade is limited to variable products, its gateways are mostly YITH's own paid plugins, and its WordPress.org rating is 3.0★.
Choose ArraySubs if…
- Stores wanting a capable free subscription core
- Anyone needing subscriptions and memberships together
- Merchants who want retention flows, Store Credit, Feature Manager, Gateway Health, Member Insight, and Analytics workflows
- Teams avoiding YITH's add-on gateway lock-in
Choose YITH Subscription if…
- Stores already standardised on YITH plugins
- Curated subscription boxes (YITH's Box module)
- Sellers wanting YITH's delivery scheduling features

ArraySubs is an all-in-one alternative to YITH WooCommerce Subscription. Both create recurring products, but YITH's free version is limited (PayPal-only auto-pay) and its real capabilities — trials, sign-up fees, failed-payment handling — need the €199.99/yr premium. ArraySubs puts subscriptions, memberships, retention flows, Store Credit, Feature Manager, Gateway Health, Member Insight, and Analytics workflows in one plugin without locking you into a single vendor's gateway add-ons.

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
A free tier that actually does the job
ArraySubs' free core includes variable products, trials, sign-up fees and plan switching. YITH's free version is limited to PayPal auto-pay and pushes the useful features into the €199.99/yr premium.
ArraySubs
No gateway lock-in
ArraySubs supports Stripe, PayPal and Paddle directly. YITH's automatic gateways mostly require buying additional YITH plugins (YITH Stripe, PayPal Express), raising the real cost.
ArraySubs
Memberships, retention & store credit
ArraySubs bundles memberships, a retention flow builder, Store Credit, and Pro operational modules. YITH needs a separate €179.99/yr membership plugin and has no retention or store credit at all.
YITH Subscription
Subscription Box module
YITH WooCommerce Subscription has a polished Subscription Box module letting customers choose box contents — useful for curated-box businesses. ArraySubs doesn't offer this yet.
YITH Subscription
Delivery scheduling
YITH includes delivery scheduling with sync and PDF shipping labels for physical subscriptions. ArraySubs covers subscription shipping but without YITH's scheduling depth.
Even
Core recurring products
Both create simple and variable recurring products with daily-to-yearly cycles. On the fundamentals they're comparable.
Switching
Moving from YITH Subscription to ArraySubs
Coming from YITH WooCommerce Subscription, you'll recreate subscription products in ArraySubs and migrate subscribers. The win is consolidation: features you'd buy across YITH Subscription and YITH Membership (€379.98/yr) live in one free ArraySubs install, with no per-gateway add-ons.
