Overview
Sublium Subscriptions is a WooCommerce subscription plugin launched in 2026 by the team behind FunnelKit. It handles three plan types in one plugin: classic recurring subscriptions, subscribe and save offers for physical products, and fixed installment plans. Plans are built in a React admin dashboard and attached to simple or variable products.
The free Lite version on WordPress.org is broad: unlimited subscriptions, free trials, sign-up fees, flexible intervals, fixed-term or ongoing plans, automatic payment retries on a custom schedule, and core customer and admin emails. Gateways include Stripe, Square and PayPal (subscription or vaulting mode), with Apple Pay and Google Pay. Customers get a self-service area for early renewals, address updates and paying off installments, and the plugin handles prorated upgrades and downgrades. The free version adds a transaction fee that the paid plans remove.
Paid plans (Launch, Growth, Scale) mainly add retention and insight tools:
- Pause, skip and reschedule controls for customers (from Launch)
- MRR, ARR, churn and payment recovery analytics, plus upgrade campaigns (Growth)
- A cancellation flow with benefit pages, reasons and retention offers (Scale)
- A one-click card updater and expiry warnings to cut failed renewals (Scale)
- A visual email builder and priority support
Sublium also offers concierge migration from WooCommerce Subscriptions that reuses existing Stripe tokens, and is mostly free. On the downside it is very new (about 700 active installs), pricing is high for the full feature set at $399/year for Scale, and synchronised renewals, gifting and HPOS status are not documented. It suits stores, especially FunnelKit users, that want modern subscribe-and-save and churn tooling and are comfortable with a young product.
Best for: WooCommerce stores, particularly FunnelKit users, that want subscribe-and-save plus churn-reduction tools in a modern interface.
Sublium has a strong free tier and a modern set of retention features, and the free migration help lowers the switching cost from WooCommerce Subscriptions. The free version's transaction fee, the top-tier paywall on cancellation flows, and its short track record are the main reasons to hesitate.

Likely range: 45 to 180. This counts sites running the paid version, including sites whose licence has lapsed. Estimates are rough and based on public figures as of 14 Oct 2026.
