Fusebill vs. Recurly

Fusebill is great for a simple business that doesn't have a lot of moving pieces to their subscriptions. One of our two companies that uses Fusebill it is perfect for it because it is small and straightforward. The second you get into complicated scenarios for billing, subscriptions or detailed accounting reports, [and] Fusebill no longer serves those needs.

Recurly is great for tracking transactions and reviewing payment method declines. The platform is extremely helpful when dealing with scenarios where someone believes they have been fraudulently charged for the product. Recurly allows for transaction filtering, which is very helpful when trying to find possibly fraudulent charges very easy. If expecting precise, detailed information about a card decline, Recurly would not be very helpful.

• It handles 1:1 and 1:many accounts to subscription set up.
• It has a good billing customization option (cadence, pricing, etc.)

• Great and responsive customer support.
• Supports multi-language.

• I really can't think of any shortcomings on Recurly because they have tried to cover all bases well. However, I believe that pricing could be little competitive because Recurly can become quite expensive when you have acquired a good number of subscribers. So apart from price, there are no shortcomings I can think of on product side.

I believe we would continue to use Recurly because they have shown that they are continually improving their software, and they listen to their customers

It works great for the simple scenarios and gives you configurability options to make it fit your business, but doesn't handle the complicated scenarios.

Apart from a lot of scope, which it has for improvement, like analytics, api's, customer service, downtimes. It still provides a lot of value, it is helpful for us in Business crtical areas, managing subscriptions and creating and launching coupons, ease of usability, camparatively lower maintainence are some valid reasons to prefer Recurly.

This is pretty non-existent. After we came on we had a dedicated person for a few months and then never heard from them again. Support requests seem to be forgotten about and we rarely got answers to the questions we were needing.

They have always been quick to respond and help. I love their chat feature at the bottom right-hand corner of the platform.

Recurly does a much better job at handling subscription payments than QuickBooks Online. We only use QuickBooks Online when we have a client who cannot pay via credit/debit card. In those cases, we send out automatic invoices via QuickBooks Online instead. 95% of our clients are processed through Recurly.

• 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.
