Appstle℠ Subscriptions App

If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. For years I've been limping along with subscription apps that ALMOST did what I wanted, and every couple of years I'd look around to see if anything new was available. Another business owner told me about Appstle and she was right. The search is over. Appstle is perfect!

It has so many options for different types of subscription schedules, a gorgeous dashboard for my customers - clean, simple, easy to navigate and VERY easy to customize with exactly the info and options I want them to have access to.

And the customer service is amazing! I've NEVER encountered this level of help before. I had to migrate a group of subscribers once before (with another company) and it was a disaster. They realized (after I deleted all the subscriptions) that a migration wasn't possible and I had to ask all my subscribers to resubscribe. That was NOT an experience I wanted to repeat, so I had a million questions for the folks at Appstle and they were so incredibly patient answering them all. Mine was a fairly complex migration because I was also changing the payment schedule from every 30 days to everyone being charged on the same day (which is another fabulous feature Appstle offers) and they basically did the entire migration for me. It worked flawlessly!

I'm a creative business owner - not a web developer - with an online business for fifteen years, and I've encountered so many situations where tech support people are either really condescending or really impatient when I don't understand the tech jargon. Over the course of the migration process I worked with several different people at Appstle and every single one of them was polite, patient, helpful and KIND. They made every step of the process incredible easy.

I am just getting started with my website and the idea of integrating all the features of bigger stores is daunting. However I know that I will need to offer these features and conveniences if I am going to compete. Appstle has been a huge weight off my mind because I have no idea how to code and these guys made the process easy. Now the step between sending someone a bill and getting paid is eliminated because I offer physical products and services on my site. Even prompt people will sometimes ignore an invoice. So, turn that invoice into a receipt.

I waited to leave a review until I was able to try the app out and see how it was working over a few weeks. All in all, I am very happy with this app and how it handles all of our subscriptions.

We offer a subscription to a single product and that product is only shipped out every five weeks. I looked all over for an app that would enable us to run our subscriptions the way that we want, and this is the one! There are SO many ways you can customize the experience for your customers and SO many different settings to make the subscriptions work exactly how you need. We were able to set everything up so that it works perfectly for our niche product and customers.

I will say that it took me almost two full days to get everything configured the way that we needed it to be for our specific needs. I reached out to their support folks more times than I'd like to admit, and they helped me with everything!

I absolutely recommend this app, especially if you have some weirdo specific thing you're attempting to accomplish with your subscriptions.

We migrated from ReCharge. This app is much better considering the price difference. But I will warn you that the actual migration process was not straight forward.

For migration - the devil is in the detail so I would recommend doing your DD here before undertaking the challenge. Appstle have a great support team so we were able to get the migration completed, but it took much longer than expected.

I suggest this to try and help you migrate: the best solution was to 1) completely DISABLE your ReCharge subscriptions for a few days (so customers cannot make any changes), 2) then complete migrating across all of the data, 3) and then ENABLE on Appstle (after testing/UAT). First we tried to migrate while ReCharge was still active (which meant customers constantly updating their subscriptions), so the data in each platform was never in sync.

@Appstle team - there is a big opportunity for improvement with the migration process.

In terms of ongoing support it has been excellent. Always fast communication and they make bespoke customisations for us as required.

It has a lot of features already built in, so most of the things you can think of are ready to go. If you want a feature that is not currently offered, it goes into a production backlog whereby users can vote for the new features to be developed.

I would definitely recommend this app if you're running a subscription offering in your business.

Special mention to Annie, Momna, and Maryum who are always excellent tech support.

Talk about amazing, These guys have a 10 out of 5 stars They go above and beyond helping you. 24/7 They help me customize certain parts and walked me through the rest. You have to understand Im not the fastest learner but they came through. The app has so many wonderful feature its hard to list them. The price is right in line too compared to other app that charge a lot more for less. With all seriousness give it a try. You wont be disappointed.
