What is the closest alternative to Recharge?
Loop Subscriptions is the comparison merchants make most often, and it competes directly on that transaction fee rather than on features.
This is the hardest switch on the site. Active subscribers have to move with their payment tokens intact, and not every app can accept them. Ask before you commit to anything.
