Skio Subscriptions (YC S20) , 194 reviews

Great app. We had a terrible experience with a similar app that took months (literally) to get anything done, and we finally switched to skio. They were very on top of their game, nothing was "too hard" and they got back to us quickly.
So glad we made the switch. I recommend Skio to other brands i know.

We just started using SKIO about ~5 months ago and it has been nothing but a success. Here are my "whys" on if you have an e-commerce brand you should use it.

1) Reporting

There are so many reporting tabs in SKIO, every time I ask a question to our support rep on "How To" there's already a feature built into the tool. Also, they are very open to building the internal reporting tools that you suggest.

2) Forecasting

Forecasting inventory/SKU has been super helpful for us to understand which inventory levels we need to keep each item at and standardize on that number.

3) Constant Customer Feedback

Constant feedback along the lines of why customers are taking the actions they are + seeing trends in the data which helps us figure out which directions to build.

4) Predictive revenue

The monthly subscriptions help our business better predict revenue and which SKUs it comes from.

5) Finding your "Whale" Customers

Finding "Whale" or "VIP" is tricky, retaining them is trickier. SKIO offers different tiers of discounts to keep our top customers happy has been a huge plus.

If you're in the e-com business and you're not using SKIO you are missing out.

Thanks, SKIO.

I cannot say enough good things about Skio! First of all; their team is INCREDIBLE. They really went above and beyond to make sure that the migration went smoothly but more importantly, they were extremely patient and always willing to make all the requested changes we required. Not only they are talented and know what they do, they're also extremely kind. Skio's overall product is outstanding and we cannot wait to use more of its functionalities. I would recommend Skio to any brand who's looking to start subscription or has had bad experiences with their competitors in the past.

Top-notch care from the Skio team! Our migration from Recharge to Skio was seamless thanks to their awesome team. From start to finish they were organized, patient, thorough, and very responsive. We've been migrated over for a few weeks now, and their team continues to provide excellent support. It's easy to get them on calls and work through any various questions that pop up as we learn a new platform. Overall they've done an excellent job at making our brand feel important and valued, and they've delivered on all the features and perks we were sold on to make the switch. Couldn't be happier with the new platform and the growing success of our subscription business!

Developer here. I dislike most apps but, WOW, Skio is incredible.

Our company has been using Skio for about 2 months now and are very happy with the results.

A few highlights:
1. The migration from Recharge to Skio was very smooth. I was expecting it to be a big headache, but Skio’s team handled 99% of the process for us. We had all kinds of custom code set up on our site. Instead of just slapping their app on top of our site and potentially breaking something, Skio’s developers took the time to read our code and make the modifications needed so that everything worked right off the bat.
2. Their customer service is top notch too. We were having an issue with subscriber numbers dropping. I emailed Skio and got a reply in under 5 minutes. They immediately had 2 team members working on the problem, giving us specific personalized ideas on how to improve our subscription program. Since then we’ve been seeing about a 40-50% increase in subscriber numbers.
3. Our subscriber numbers are climbing MUCH faster than with Recharge and we haven’t even begun to tap into some of the cool features that Skio offers (like their Surprise & Delight feature)

Skio is the best app out there for subscriptions. They have flexible options when it comes to setting up and managing subscriptions, working across a wide range of use cases. They reporting is good and continues to get better, giving you the insights you need to understand and optimize your subscription business.

Skio really does the deep work on understanding what clients need out of a subscription provider and putting it into practice. Support and customer service are always responsive for troubleshooting.

We started out with another subscription partner after researching many subscription options. That was a big mistake. It's hard to tell how good a subscription partner is until you actually get behind the door of Sales and finally onboard. I can tell you definitively that Skio is the real deal. Great support, helpful on an individual merchant basis, strong pace of new features, and the platform is incredibly powerful with leading customization capabilities. If you're reading this, do yourself a favor and just go with Skio. It's the right choice.

On-boarded Smartrr to Skio. Definitely one of the best decisions we've made so far.

The optionality for customers, intuitive dashboard + reporting, and rebuttal systems have given us a better view and action around our subscriber program.

On-boarding and customer support (thank you sandro + ben) have been S-tier.

Absolutely amazing app! the onboarding + sales team are super experienced and offer as smooth as a transition as possible. The interface is extremely easy to use while also offering a wide array of intricate features such as GWPs, email outreach, & a comprehensive analytics dashboard. I went through several different vendors and did and in-depth comparison, Skio seemed to be the most complete and after boarding I can say that the product holds true to expectations! would recommend.

There were two big factors I used to evaluate Skio. 1) The amount of assistance helping get our subscriptions set up for a new store, and 2) how robust the analytics are to actually understand how our subscriptions offering was performing, for example the demand forecasting really helps me with my day to day job and adjust our day to day operations - it feels like Apple rather than Android. And out of everyone out there, Skio stood out as being the most reliable option to deliver on those two things.
