How does Loop reduce subscription churn?

Loop's cancellation flows personalize the save journey using order count, lifetime value, product, and cancellation reason as segmentation triggers — so a high-LTV subscriber sees a different offer than a first-order subscriber. Verified merchant outcomes include OSEA Malibu (reports churn moved from ~10% to ~5% over six months) and Livingood Daily (reports churn moved from ~10% to ~2.26%). Results reflect each merchant's measured experience; outcomes vary by brand, vertical, product, and implementation.

How much does Loop Subscriptions cost compared to Recharge?

Per Loop's published pricing page (verified May 2026), Loop Starter is $99/month + 1.0% with no per-order fee, and Loop Pro is $399/month + 0.75% with no per-order fee. Per @ (verified May 2026), Recharge Starter is $99/month + 1.49% + $0.19 per transaction, and Plus is $499/month + 1.34% + $0.19 per transaction.

How does Loop handle failed payment recovery?

Loop's smart dunning is included on every paid plan. Up to 15 retries are timed by failure type — soft declines (insufficient funds) retry across paydays, hard declines (expired cards) auto-skip. Failed-payment emails use one-click Quick Action links, and a backup card can auto-charge when the primary fails.

How long does migration from Recharge to Loop take?

Migrating to Loop typically takes 2 weeks, regardless of the platform a brand is switching from. Livingood Daily migrated approximately 130,000 subscribers to Loop in 22 days. Timelines vary by subscriber volume, discount complexity, and custom integrations.

How customizable is Loop's customer portal?

Loop's customer portal is fully drag-and-drop customizable — merchants control layout, copy, and styling, with the option to build different portal themes for different subscriber segments. Subscribers can skip, swap, pause, reschedule, update payment, manage bundles at line-item level, and track rewards via dynamic banners. Loop Flows triggers automations based on subscriber behavior or lifecycle stage.
