Brightback used to be a great independent cancel flow tool. Then Chargebee acquired it. Now you can only access Brightback's features by purchasing the full Chargebee platform at $299–$999+/mo. If you liked what Brightback originally offered — affordable, standalone cancel flows — ChurnRecovery is what Brightback used to be: focused, independent, and free.
