Likelihood to Recommend I think it works best for scenarios where it involves recurring billing. A subscription-based business model can benefit on the platform and maximize its features. It has great customization when it comes to billing cadence, pricing, prepayment, discount options, among others. It also works perfectly with one-off charges so either way, it's a win. It has great integration with Stripe too.
Read full review This company has the biggest number of payment terminals in the world, so we went with them because it must have the most data available. And the tool does the work very well, it just feels a bit outdated or not on the cutting edge side but really works for what you need it to do. We had some hiccups in setting the rules up and the integration, might not be the simplest one to do but in the end the integration worked well.

Though MRR is pretty easy to calculate Recurly puts it beautifully on the dashboard which is very easy to read. LTV, Recurly calculates lifetime value which is a good insight for adjusting Marketing spends. Even this is available on the dashboard. The other features like Subscriber churn Rate, Average revenue per customer etc are really great and would help the marketing team a lot.

It can become tricky to set up, apply, and un-apply coupons for a particular client. If you have special billing cases where you discount for a few months or give a client service in any irregular fashion, using coupons can become tricky. We have a referral program with our clients where they receive a perpetual monthly discount for each client they refer to use. The client receives this discount as long as their referral remains active with us. We would like to be able to apply a discount to a client account, and have the ability to remove that discount in the event a referral ends service with us. In some cases a client has referred several clients, and we would like to apply a discount for each referral, and still have the ability to remove one or more discounts as referrals begin and end service with us. Currently there is no way to do this in Recurly. There isn't even a very good work-around, which is disappointing.

Read full review Alternatives Considered Fewer codings are needed, however, the simplicity with Recurly is found once all the information needed is there. I have seen where Recurly is integrated with any other product we use; however,
Salesforce does have the ability to be integrated with other products. This is done through coding.
Read full review Ingenico ePayments has probably the best cost-to-benefit ratio. It's very versatile at its core, and the fees are not among the worst. You need to invest a little bit in your first integration, but in the long run, it pays out. In general, it provides anything you need in an eCommerce platform for the right price.
Read full review Return on Investment Providing an interface for our subscribers to manage their own accounts has simplified our business tremendously. This alone has freed up hours of our staff's time each day. Many customers receive new credit cards due to expiration or fraud. The time we spent in updating this information prior to using Recurly's Revenue Recovery feature versus now is significant.
