PaySimple vs. Rainex

We're a marketing agency and it's worked perfectly for our recurring payment retainers (same amount each month).

It would also work well for a company with a set product line up or a company that wants a more traditional "store" setup.

Rainex is an easy-to-use platform. Guys have a great build clients support service. A very useful feature for us is a customer portal, that helps our clients to manage services without any integration!

• Their Support is very responsive and helpful. Any time that I have had trouble understanding an email I received from Pay Simple or how to update something on an invoice, I have used the chat feature. The agents are quick and provide great step by step instructions to assist. If they did not have a solution, they assured me it would be submitted as a request to development or let me know when it would be coming.
• I love the ease of initially beginning/charging a payment (either one time or recurring). It is not time-consuming and is very straightforward which is helpful when entering multiple new payments a day. Everything I need to enter a new payment is directly on the home screen and easy to find.
• I appreciate the clean layout of the homepage.

Incentivized

• Subscriptions management
• clients notification
• customer support

• More proactive and empowering role in merchant fee's and alternative processors. Transparency is challenging in understanding Paysimple's role and relationship to the processors.
• Identifying areas for further value to clients.
• More targeted small to mid-size business perspective to anticipate growth challenges and prevent blocks on funds for legitimate sales and growth.

Incentivized

• hard onboarding
• lack of testing environment

I found PaySimple through another company. They offered integrated platforms for invoicing and follow-up questionnaires with our clients. I would never recommend PaySimple to a friend. In my experience, customer service could care less about helping you with a simple name change or becoming PCI compliant. The overall cost to our company became unbearable.

Rainex is much friendlier and cheaper than its competitors.

• Because we've got a really awesome rate with them it's definitely a positive ROI. I can't say what that figure is but it's pretty good. Also, our customers have a huge ROI over their prior way of getting payment from their customers.

• We have cut the monthly time spent on invoicing from 6 days to 1-2 hours per month
• We have cut the monthly time spent on clients support (up sales and plans changing) to 15-20 hours
