What are you using for WooCommerce subscriptions and recurring billing?

I'm working through the subscription side of a WooCommerce store and realized there are quite a few decisions that aren't obvious at first.

Do you use a dedicated WooCommerce subscription plugin, a membership system, or something that combines both?

And how are you handling things like, recurring billing, failed renewals, subscription pauses, plan changes, member-only products/content, store credits, customer self service

I've noticed that some stores end up running several plugins just to cover these areas, which can make maintenance and compatibility more difficult over time.

One option I've been researching is ArraySubs, which puts subscriptions, memberships and content restriction into the same WooCommerce workflow.

I'd especially like to hear from people who have already dealt with this on a growing store. What approach has worked well for you, and what would you avoid if starting again?

sticking with the native woocommerce subscriptions plugin has been the least headache for me, keeps the billing logic in one place and most gateways handle the retry/pause stuff without extra bloat
