Stripe is a great payment processor but growing subscription companies need a platform built for the job. Leading consumer brands prefer Recurly to scale their subscription business.
By unifying on a single subscription platform, we were able to become more efficient by creating a community of subject matter experts within the division."

CAPABILITIES
Why choose Recurly over Stripe?
Built for the subscription industry
Stripe’s true stripes lie in the swipes—as a payment processor. Recurly is a purpose-built subscription management and recurring billing platform.
Reducing churn non-stop
Recurly solves churn with machine learning from billions of transactional data points, recovering more revenue—$1.3 billion annually.
Gateway choices
Stripe customers have zero gateway options. Recurly merchants can choose from 20+ (including PayPal)—and more choice means more reach.
Deep and wide subscription analytics
Recurly reigns supreme with in-app analytics and benchmarks that eclipse Stripe—so you can make data-backed decisions.
Unified revenue recognition
Recurly delivers robust revenue recognition capabilities, including automated ASC-606 and IFRS-15 directly into the platform.
A partner, not just a provider
Recurly’s US-based team owns onboarding and on-going support, sharing best practices to ensure success, never outsourcing like Chargebee.
