One of the most popular providers of subscription payments online is Stripe. With Stripe you can accept subscriptions for a low commission fee (2.9% + $0.30 as of March 2019 in the US) and even lower fees in Europe (1.4% + €0.25 as of March 2019).
You also must consider development costs associated with this type of solutions. PayForm is an easy to use solution without code that integrates both, to Stripe and PayPal. Costs start as $15/mo with a free 7 days trial (you can accept unlimited subscriptions during this time, and you will only pay the commission).
