Your subscribers are leaving.
Most would stay if you asked.
If you have 500 subscribers at $10/month and 5% monthly churn, you're losing $250 every month — $3,000/year — to cancellations alone. ChurnRecovery catches them before they're gone and wins them back automatically. $20/month after a 30-day free trial.
Works with newsletters, courses, coaching, memberships — any subscription business.

The problem nobody talks about
You're losing money every single month — and you might not even know it
Credit cards expire. Banks decline charges. Subscribers forget to update their payment details. Others hit “cancel” on a bad day — even though they'd stay if you offered a pause or a discount. These aren't lost causes. They're recoverable revenue.
5–10%
of payments fail every month — that's $500–$1,000/mo lost on a $10k MRR business
~70%
of failed payments can be recovered — thousands in revenue you're leaving on the table
20–40%
of cancels can be saved with the right offer — a $50k MRR business could save $10k–$20k/year
What ChurnRecovery does for you
Keep more subscribers without more work
🛑
Subscribers cancel on impulse — and you lose them forever
20–40% of cancels happen on impulse — a bad day, a frustrating bug, a missed email. ChurnRecovery intercepts that moment with a friendly screen that asks why — then offers the right save: a pause, a discount, a plan switch. You decide what to offer.
💳
Failed payments silently drain your revenue every month
5–10% of recurring payments fail every month — expired cards, bank declines, insufficient funds. You're losing subscribers who never meant to leave. ChurnRecovery retries payments on a smart schedule and reminds subscribers to update their info before they even notice.
📊
You're flying blind on why people leave
Without data, you can't fix churn — you can only watch it happen. ChurnRecovery shows you exactly why subscribers cancel, which offers work best, and how much revenue you've recovered.
⚡
Enterprise tools take weeks to set up
You don't have an engineering team to integrate complex retention software. ChurnRecovery takes 5 minutes: copy one line into your site, connect your payment provider, and you're live.
💰
$20/month. No per-subscriber fees. No revenue share.
Cancel flows, payment recovery, and analytics — $20/month. No per-subscriber fees, no per-recovery fees, no 'upgrade to unlock' tricks. Your cost stays flat no matter how much you grow.
🎨
Generic popups erode trust with your audience
78% of consumers say brand consistency builds trust. Your subscribers should see your colors, your logo, your voice — not a generic popup from some tool they've never heard of. ChurnRecovery's cancel flow and recovery emails match your brand completely.
How it works
Three steps. Five minutes. More revenue.
1
Connect your payment provider
Link your Stripe, Paddle, or other payment account. Takes about 60 seconds — just click 'connect' and authorize.
2
Choose what to offer
Pick from proven templates: offer a discount, suggest a pause, switch their plan, or ask for feedback. Customize the message in your voice. No design skills needed.
3
Start recovering revenue
That's it. When someone tries to cancel, they'll see your custom save flow. When a payment fails, we handle retries and reminders. You just watch the recovered revenue in your dashboard.

What customers are saying
Real results from real subscription businesses
“We were losing 6% of paid subscribers every month and had no idea why. After adding ChurnRecovery, we saved 23% of cancel attempts in the first 30 days — that's $1,400/month we were throwing away.”

“I spent weeks researching Churnkey and ProfitWell before finding ChurnRecovery. Same cancel flow features, fraction of the price. Setup took me 20 minutes, not the 'two sprints' my dev quoted for Churnkey.”

Marcus Rivera
SaaS founder, project management tool
“My Kajabi course has 800 monthly members at $47/month. ChurnRecovery caught 31 cancels last month and saved 9 of them. That's $423 recovered for $20. I don't even think about the cost.”

Priya Sharma

“The pause offer alone changed everything. Turns out 40% of our 'cancels' just needed a break — not a goodbye. We went from 8% monthly churn to 5.2% in two months.”

“Failed payment recovery was the surprise win. We didn't even know we were losing $600/month to expired cards. ChurnRecovery recovers most of them automatically now.”

You're probably wondering...
Why only $20/month?
We charge a flat $20/month because your success shouldn't increase your costs. No per-subscriber fees, no per-recovery fees, no revenue share. The price stays the same whether you have 100 subscribers or 100,000.
Do I need a developer to set this up?
No. If you can copy and paste a line of text, you can set this up in under 30 minutes. We give you step-by-step instructions, and it works with the tools you already use — Stripe, Paddle, and more.
Will my subscribers see your branding?
No. Everything — cancel flows, dunning emails, and the update-card page — is customized to match your brand. Your subscribers will never know you're using a third-party tool.
What kind of results can I expect?
Most businesses recover 20–40% of subscribers who try to cancel, and 50–70% of failed payments. That could mean thousands of dollars in recovered revenue per year, depending on your size.
What if I use Substack / Beehiiv / Teachable / Kajabi?
We integrate with any platform that uses Stripe or another supported payment processor under the hood. If your subscribers pay through Stripe (most do), it works.
