Comparison
RetryFi vs Churnkey
Two takes on the same problem — recovering failed Stripe payments. Different shapes, different price points, different ideal customers.
Why RetryFi
RetryFi does one thing: detect failed Stripe payments, retry them on a schedule tuned to the decline code, and send a four-email branded dunning sequence. Connect Stripe in 10 seconds. No webhook URLs to register, no email templates to write, no retry rules to configure.
It starts free up to 50 recovery actions per month. Pro is $29/mo for 250 actions; Scale is $79/mo for 1,000 actions. The product is shaped for indie and bootstrapped SaaS in the $1k–$100k MRR range.
About Churnkey
Churnkey is a full customer-retention platform: payment recovery, cancel flows, win-back campaigns, segmented retention experiments, and analytics. It's a mature, well-staffed product with strong case-study marketing and a focus on SaaS companies past product-market fit.
Public pricing references on third-party SaaS directories list Churnkey starting around $250/month, with higher tiers for larger MRR bands. See citations [1] [2]; verify the live page before relying on these numbers.

When Churnkey is the better choice
If you need cancel flows, exit surveys, or win-back campaigns, choose Churnkey. RetryFi does not offer these in v1 and has no plans to bundle them in.
If you're billing through Paddle, Chargebee, Recurly, or a custom PSP, choose Churnkey. RetryFi only works with Stripe.
If you're past $200k MRR with a dedicated retention budget and want segmented A/B experiments, custom email copy, and a strategic-partner relationship, Churnkey is built for that — RetryFi is not.

FAQ
Only if your use case is dunning + retries. If you're using Churnkey for cancel flows or win-back, you'd need to keep that side or move it elsewhere. RetryFi is intentionally narrow.
