“I’ve been working hand in hand with Stay for the last couple months and the result is churn decreasing from around 60% to 30% at Month 2 for a beverage brand. I love the features and how easily it connects with Klaviyo to create a better customer experience with Subscriptions. I’m already recommending it to other e-commerce brands I know!”

“We've been using STAY.AI as a subscription platform for ARMRA and it is excellent. The dashboard is incredibly user friendly and I regularly use it as our Business Intelligence platform for all subscription related performance. The team at Stay has also been very supportive in customizing the dashboard and making product updates to fit our business needs. Our weekly check-ins with them have been so helpful and we appreciate the time and attention they give us. Stay is also always proactively looking to make improvements to create the best business and customer experiences with their app so I look forward to continuing to work with them and using the platform.”
ARMRA
“We migrated over to Stay AI from ReCharge for multiple reasons. We wanted a unified checkout, better support, more customization opportunities and more. Since the migration, our subscription platform has grown tremendously. I do not regret the switch and recommend moving over to Stay AI if you’re currently using a dated subscription platform like ReCharge”
Olipop
“We moved from another subscription provider to Stay about a year ago. I was initially concerned about potential revenue loss from switching, but the transition was seamless. Stay's level of personal support is exceptional – unlike some of the big players, where you often feel like a number. With Stay, you'll always get a thoughtful response within a day or so, and it's clear they genuinely care about their customers.”

“Stay is AMAZING! As a Marketing Tech Specialist, I've set up quite a few softwares for clients and I haven't seen a Subscription service that comes close into comparison with everything you're able to do with Stay ai. The customer service portal is definitely something your customers will love (and your CS people too) as they can manage their account so easily. Maria, Karl, and the team are wonderful to work with and they made setup a breeze!”
Ascent Nutrition
“Stay AI has been so amazing to work with! The backend is easy to use, they have so many great ways of quickly running promotions and deals with our subscription products. Their front end and visuals are such a better customer experience as well! We moved from Recharge and it has been smooth sailing ever since. Their customer support is amazing and always there to step in and help with any issues.”
GIMME Beauty
“Been using Stay for a couple of years now – very easy interface and we love the new punch card feature. We have gained a ton of insights into retention via the retention engine, and could not have nicer things to say about our account rep! Thanks Stay!”
