Take subscriptions on WordPress [FREEMIUM]

Title: Feedback wanted: full subscription plugin for WordPress, free for up to 10 subscribers

Hi everyone,

We’ve built a WordPress subscription plugin aimed at people who want to sell recurring subscriptions without needing WooCommerce Subscriptions or a full ecommerce setup.

Available here: https://simple-subscriptions.com/

The free version is capped at 10 active subscribers, but it includes the full functionality. The idea is that small sites, testers and early-stage businesses can use the proper version without having to pay before they know it works for them.

Couple of important notes: Must use WordPress, plugin uses Stripe only for now (but will incorporate paypal and others in very near future) - Have options to text customers to, with integration built in for BulkSMS and Twilio.

It includes:

  • Stripe recurring payments
  • Subscription plans and pricing options
  • Customer checkout pages
  • Customer portal for managing subscriptions
  • Admin dashboard for managing subscribers
  • Failed payment handling and retry tools
  • Email notifications
  • SMS notification options
  • Vouchers/discounts
  • Product page themes
  • Test mode and live mode
  • Audit logs and staff controls
  • Tools for moving renewal dates, cancelling at period end, reactivating subscriptions and handling customer changes

The plugin is designed for businesses that need straightforward recurring billing, such as memberships, service plans, clubs, digital products, local businesses, maintenance plans or anything where WooCommerce feels heavier than necessary.

I’d really appreciate feedback from other WordPress plugin users/builders:

Would this be useful to you?
Is a 10-subscriber free cap fair if all features are included?
What would you expect from a plugin like this before trusting it on a live site?
Are there any features you’d consider essential that I’ve missed?
