The verdict
A built-in loyalty points program and store credits decide it
Both Subscribfy Subscriptions App and Loop Subscriptions App document subscription types, failed-payment recovery, paid VIP memberships and migration tooling. Subscribfy Subscriptions App adds a built-in loyalty points program, store credits, wallet passes and a referral program — which Loop Subscriptions App either lacks or does not document publicly. Honest trade-off: on wallet passes and a multilingual storefront, Subscribfy Subscriptions App is limited (Partial — Apple Wallet with geo push, campaigns, POS QR; Google Wallet not available yet; Partial — translation editor; English + French out of the box, other languages via support). For stores that want a built-in loyalty points program and store credits from one app, Subscribfy Subscriptions App covers ground Loop Subscriptions App leaves to third parties or does not document.
