SSL securedBuild Your Subscription Business with Real Control
Subscribie charges a % of your revenue. PayFacile doesn’t.
On €2,000/mo revenue, Subscribie costs ~€87/mo (4.35% of revenue) vs PayFacile at €24/mo (1.2% of revenue). That's 72% savings. As revenue grows to €5,000/mo, Subscribie climbs to ~€170/mo while PayFacile stays at €24/mo.
Subscribie charges a percentage that grows with your revenue. PayFacile charges a flat fee that stays the same.
Why PayFacile wins for serious subscription businesses.
True Multi-Gateway Freedom
Subscribie locks you into Stripe. PayFacile lets you accept payments via Stripe, GoCardless (SEPA direct debit), and Braintree. Different payment methods suit different customer bases. Reduce failure rates with retries across multiple channels.
Built-In Automation That Actually Works
Workflows are core to PayFacile. Create complex automations without code: trigger retention emails on cancellation, send discount codes, segment high-value customers. Subscribie has none of this — you need Zapier at €20–100+/mo.
VAT & Compliance Baked In
PayFacile automatically calculates VAT on EU transactions and generates compliant invoices. Subscribie makes you handle this manually — a real headache if you have customers across Europe.
Customer Portal That Drives Revenue
PayFacile's Portal is designed to reduce churn: customers update payment methods, pause subscriptions instead of canceling, view invoice history. Subscribie's customer dashboard is basic — failed payments mean support tickets, not automatic recovery.
Built-In AI Assistant
PayFacile's in-dashboard chatbot helps you draft product descriptions, generate email templates, and answer feature questions instantly. Subscribie has none.
Content & Courses (Not Just Files)
PayFacile supports gated online courses, members-only blog posts, and downloadable files in one place. Subscribie offers file uploads only — no content sequencing, no drip-feeding, no course builder.
Subscribie is genuinely good at one thing: simple UK payments
Subscribie works well for small UK clubs (sports, hobby, local membership groups), simple one-product subscriptions with minimal complexity, and low-tech users who want to set up fast with minimal learning.
But Subscribie becomes painful if you sell across Europe (VAT handling is manual, no SEPA), need multiple payment methods, want automation (dunning, segmentation, follow-up campaigns), plan to scale beyond one product or one market, need deeper analytics, or want a professional customer portal. PayFacile handles all of this natively.

That's fine. Just use our Stripe integration. You get all the workflow automation, Portal, VAT compliance, and pricing benefits without adding GoCardless or Braintree. But you'll have them as options if you ever need them.
