How Autoship Pricing Works

Autoship charges $0.30 per subscription per month — not per renewal order. A subscriber who renews weekly still only costs $0.30/month.

Recharge & Skio charge a percentage fee plus a per-order fee on every single renewal. The more frequently your subscribers order, the more you pay them.
