Recurly

I would compare Recurly using the subscription changes you actually handle each month. Failed payments and renewal operations can matter more than the number of plan templates. Test upgrades, failed payments, refunds and cancellation flows, not just the first successful checkout. Those ongoing cases are where the value of a subscription platform becomes clearer.

Who it suits

• A subscription business improving failed-payment recovery
• A team managing plan changes and renewals
• A company estimating billing-platform cost as revenue grows

About Recurly

Operate subscriptions, payment recovery, and recurring billing. Recurly supports plan changes and revenue workflows for businesses with ongoing customer relationships. The subscription-platform fee and payment-processing bill are different costs. Larger or more complex operations require a scoped agreement. Recurly is aimed at subscription operations such as billing, payment recovery and subscriber management. Starter includes an initial amount of monthly billing volume before the additional percentage applies. Payment processing and separate products should still be checked in the agreement. Test upgrades, failed payments, refunds and cancellation flows, not just the first successful checkout. Those ongoing cases are where the value of a subscription platform becomes clearer.
