Hum... maybe they are located under "e-commerce" category. For example:

http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=tid%3A104&solrsort=sis_project_release_usage%20desc

Ubercart looks quite complete.

You can also look under ERP software:

Basically I guess you need a database (offile/online) which handles users 
data (subscription type: magazine, newspaper... periodicty: weekly, 
monthly, quarterly... client postal address for delivering, etc...) :-?
