Skio Subscriptions (YC S20)

My first time using an off the shelf subscription management solution. In the brief year that I've been using Skio, they've released a lot of new functionality. Their team pay attention to feedback from users and focus on development. Customer support is excellent and the team and hugely knowledgable- big shout out to Elliot and Mars.

Some of the analytics still need improving, which is why I cold only give a 4/5. However, the customer engagement features are excellent though and we believe Skio helps us save hundreds of subscribers each month. Highly recommend.

Switching to Skio will be one of the smartest moves you make for your company. I've made the move for two brands that are growing very quickly. Skio has provided a level of support that is unparalleled. From their email support team, to their team on Slack, they are the best. Our dedicated account managers have been life-savers (I'm talking about Ben and Matt). They have turned us on to several new integrations that have been amazing for us. It feels like we have more of a partnership with them. They are looking out for our best interests, and it shows.

Subscribers are our most important customer segment. I've been able to consolidate our subscription and loyalty programs with Skio. Now our subscribers can easily and quickly apply rewards points directly to their subscription. This was a difficult experience for our customers with our previous integration.

We adopted Skio to launch our subscription program at Ethique, and the experience has been seamless. The setup couldn't have been easier, thanks to its robust and deep integration with Shopify. This is an extremely powerful tool, particularly with its Klaviyo integration and the ability to send SMS reminders directly from the app, allowing us to set up unique events and triggers that personalize every customer touchpoint. Furthermore, Skio's native bulk change feature is incredibly helpful for managing large catalogs, allowing major updates like migrating to Product 2.0 or performing price changes across hundreds of SKUs in just a few clicks. The subscription portal itself is exceptionally customizable, easily pulling in our brand style and design. This creates limitless opportunities to send customers through unique journeys and ensure they have the best brand experience, making the entire subscription management process highly efficient for merchants.

Beyond the powerful features, their support is truly unmatched. Our success manager, Alessandro Pacitti, is always a message away to help with troubleshooting and is consistently open to hearing ideas for future roadmap development. He doesn't just wait for questions; he comes to meetings with proactive strategies on how we can fully leverage the platform to enhance our subscription service. Subscription can feel overwhelming, but Skio makes the entire merchant experience intuitive and reliable.
