Best Tool for Subscription-based Business Model
We use Recurly primarily for B2B billing functions (recurring and one-time.) It is being used by our accounting, customer service, and sales teams. A few years ago, I recommended Recurly to a fashion subscription company and they use it for their direct-to-consumer business. We like to use it because it has a great API and documentation plus the added flexibility to accommodate different customers on different billing set up. It is easy to use across all departments and compliant with PCI-DSS standards.

Recurly has helped my business move forward!
Only the managers have access to it. We use it for recurring subscriptions for customers worldwide. The system send reminders for those using our annual subscriptions that their plan is about to renew (at least 1-2 weeks ahead of time) which is very helpful. Their invoice has a great system of itemizing everything charged.

Recurly Review - B2C
Recurly is our go-to product for our subscription monitoring across a number of departments (Marketing, Product, BI, etc). Keeping track of our subscribers throughout the entire lifecycle helps us keep track and optimize LTV. It allows us to track our numbers daily and can quickly see the results each campaigns produced that we can learn from.

Give your end users flexible account management tools and save yourself hundreds of hours each year!
We serve emerging and professional speakers with a unique subscription based service. We offer multiple membership levels with options to upgrade, downgrade, and cancel directly by the user. Implementing Recurly has ended the late office nights manually updating accounts. Its API has also enabled us to monitor user activity in real time.
We use Recruly to manage the subscriptions and billings of our PaaS. Since the marketing team handles the billing and other stuff around the product here in our organization we are the primary users of Recurly. Recurly makes it easy for us to track various metrics like MRR, active subscribers, LTV and many other metrics all in one glance. The way they built their dashboard requires great appreciation. There are many features in Recurly which makes it very easy to manage subscriptions which otherwise would be very hectic. Recurly is helping us save a lot of time and effort in managing subscriptions and billings as well as giving good insights into our performance. So this is one of those complete solutions which you would love you use.

Recurly vs. QuickBooks
Recurly is used primarily in the finance department. It provides a smooth experience for users to make purchases and provides automatic recurring billing. The Dunning cycle also helps with accounts receivables collection which frees up valuable time and shortens the A/R turnover cycle. Recurly provides useful reports for the accounting and leadership team.

Recurly + SaaS = Magic
We use Recurly to handle all of our recurring subscription credit card transactions with all our clients. It is how we automatically bill our clients for our service each month. Currently our account management, sales, and engineering departments use Recurly. Recurly solves the problem of having to remember to charge our clients for service each month. It integrates into our payment processing service, and automatically runs transactions based on a pre-configured subscription. They support coupons, credits, refunds, prorated refunds, etc.

Recurring billing. Trust Recurly.
It's used for recurring billing for one of our clients. The organization uses it to manage their subscription billing, as well as their general day-to-day billing needs. It addresses issues involving storage of sensitive data and PCI compliance, as well as provides a catch-all solution for billing without in-depth integration.
