Comparison
RetryFi vs Stunning
Stunning has been running dunning for over a decade. RetryFi is the modern, zero-config, free-tier take on the same problem.
Why RetryFi
RetryFi was built in 2026 for indie SaaS that wants dunning to be a 10-second setup, not a project. Connect Stripe with OAuth, the historical scan runs immediately, and the four-email sequence is auto-branded with your company name. Free up to 50 recovery actions per month.
About Stunning
Stunning has been in the dunning space since 2012 and remains a stable, well-documented option. It charges a fixed monthly fee scaled to your MRR. Reviews note the product is mature but its UX shows its age — configuration is spread across multiple screens.

When Stunning is the better choice
If you need SMS dunning, Stunning has it and RetryFi doesn't.
If you require fine-grained custom email template editing — different copy per plan or per segment — Stunning is more flexible. RetryFi's templates are auto-branded but not editable in v1.
If you bill subscription customers on Foxy.io or Subbly, Stunning can be a better fit. RetryFi is Stripe-only.
