    Recurly
    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.

    with Startdeliver, we could instantly know what are clients are doing in our platform, even our salesteam testing out prospects. this is such an invaluable insight to have. And by also adding an integration to a CRM, this is just a cheat code done so simply, that competitors can only look in awe.

    Cons
    Recurly
    • 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.

    • Not necessarily a bad thing, but being so simple, it could contain even more advanced features for "customer success", but however, the reason you really use Startdeliver is for its simplicity
    • could be slightly more distinct separation between customers and internal user (you confuse what is what sometimes)
    • I don't fully understand the naming and logic about their new packages, but this is subjective opinion

    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

    Usability
    Recurly
    Recurly is very good at showing all the data we need to see on a day to day basis. Keeping track of invoices and subscriptions across many markets helps us see the overall map of our business operations. Our representatives that do not work in billing can easily understand from viewing the platform of our progress.

    from its incredible UI/X, to its easy to use features, to its native integrations, and to its overall approach to easily keep track of your customer success function as such - if you are not using Startdeliver as a CS team - you must be doing something wrong, so don't hesitate.

    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.

    Planhat might be a unicorn headed platform with incredible functions and features as well, but in reality, who will really use all of those features? Most CS teams just wants simplicity, not for things to become rocket science. Stay simple and go for a platform that will keep you grounded to the hardcore basics, and let your CS team do the rest.

    Return on Investment
    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.
