Shopify Subscriptions is a subscription service app that is quite new. It is made officially by Shopify and it has the most basic features that a subscription app can have. While it it great for newer merchants and for everyone not directly familiar with subscriptions, it does lacks in some aspects and it is missing some features that other subscription apps have. Basic features include things like making auto-charging subscriptions, where a customer gets automatically changed in a certain interval (such as weekly, monthly, or yearly), allowing your customers to cancel, skip, or pause their subscriptions, using customizable email templates for order confirmations, analyzing your subscription's performances, and exporting/importing contracts.

While the app in itself is pretty decent, you might find yourself in the future wanting more features, which other subscription apps such as Seal Subscriptions do provide. Below, we will give you a quick overview of key features that Seal offers.
