Stay AI is a subscription management and growth platform built for Shopify merchants. It is not just a simple “subscription billing tool”; instead, it treats subscriptions as a marketing and retention channel, covering customer portals, subscription bundles, prepaid subscriptions, cancellation recovery, A/B testing, predictive analytics, Email/SMS/Chatbot capabilities, and more. Its positioning is closer to mid- to high-end Shopify DTC brands rather than general website builders or multi-platform ecommerce tools.
From a feature perspective, Stay AI focuses on retention and LTV growth. The platform supports no-code customer portals, Bundles & Boxes, trial and sample flows, digital punch cards, smart dunning, cancellation surveys, AI-optimized cancellation offers, WinbackEngine, and Klaviyo-triggered win-back flows. For subscription ecommerce, these features cover subscription acquisition, renewals, failed payment recovery, cancellation reason insights, and reactivation of churned users. The site also highlights 17 cohort views, multi-KPI comparisons, predictive analytics, and A/B testing, making it suitable for teams that want to operate subscriptions as a performance marketing channel with a high level of precision.
The Pro plan is priced at $499/month, plus 1% + 19 cents per transaction. It includes all features, 1:1 migration, and onboarding. The official materials state that there are no hidden fees, upfront costs, implementation fees, or service/support fees, and that the plan includes a dedicated account manager and support team. Enterprise uses custom pricing and adds custom development, a dedicated strategist, personalized growth planning, and priority access to new features. Overall, pricing transparency is fairly good at the Pro tier, but once transaction fees are added on top of the monthly fee, it is not lightweight for small sellers just getting started.
The advantages are that features are not split across complicated pricing tiers, the migration process appears relatively complete, and the company claims migrations can take as little as around 2 weeks with no website downtime. It also offers strong retention, A/B testing, and data analytics capabilities, making it a good candidate for replacing older subscription platforms. The downsides are that the public materials focus mainly on Shopify, with no disclosed support for non-Shopify platforms; information on payment methods, supported markets, and China localization is missing; and Enterprise pricing is not transparent.
Stay AI is better suited to Shopify brands that already have subscription revenue and want to reduce churn, increase AOV, or migrate from platforms such as ReCharge. Chinese sellers using Shopify for overseas DTC subscription businesses can consider evaluating it as a subscription growth tool. However, the site does not explain China network accessibility, payment methods, or local support, so china_access can only be marked as unknown for now. Alternatives worth watching include ReCharge and other Shopify subscription apps.
