How does SaveMRR connect to Stripe?

You create a restricted API key in your Stripe dashboard and paste it into SaveMRR. Read-only access — SaveMRR cannot charge anyone, modify subscriptions, or touch your money. You can revoke the key in 2 clicks from Stripe anytime. No OAuth, no Stripe Connect, works in every country Stripe supports.

Will Cancel Shield break my existing cancel flow?

No. It's a single line of JavaScript you add to your app. When a customer clicks cancel, the widget pops up with an exit survey and a smart offer. If they accept, SaveMRR applies the discount or pause in Stripe. If you remove the script, your cancel flow goes back to exactly what it was. Zero risk.

How does SaveMRR login tracking work?

On the Growth plan, you drop a tiny JS snippet into your app (like an analytics script). It pings SaveMRR when a user logs in — no personal data, no tracking cookies. If someone hasn't logged in for 14 days, Churn Radar flags them as at-risk and auto-sends a check-in email. Most founders catch 3-5 at-risk customers per week they would have never noticed.

Does SaveMRR work with Paddle or LemonSqueezy?

Stripe only right now. That covers 96% of indie SaaS founders. Paddle and LemonSqueezy support is planned for later this year.

How much does SaveMRR cost?

Free plan: full Revenue Autopsy scan, no card needed. Starter: $19/mo (early bird, regular $49/mo) with Cancel Shield, Revenue Rescue, Churn Radar, daily digest. Growth: $49/mo (early bird, regular $99/mo) with everything in Starter plus Win-Back Autopilot, custom SMTP, JS login tracking, unlimited Stripe accounts, Slack alerts, custom branding. No percentage cuts — flat monthly fee. Early bird pricing locks in forever for the first 100 users.

Can I use SaveMRR on multiple SaaS products?

On the Growth plan, you can connect unlimited Stripe accounts from one dashboard with labels for each product. Perfect for portfolio founders running 3-8 micro-SaaS products. On the Starter plan, it's one Stripe account per SaveMRR account.

Can Revenue Rescue emails come from my own domain?

Yes. On the Growth plan, plug in your SMTP credentials and all recovery emails send from you@yourdomain.com — plain text, no 'sent via SaveMRR' footer. Looks like you personally wrote it.

How long before I see results with SaveMRR?

Revenue Autopsy shows your data in 60 seconds — you'll know exactly what you're losing before you even pay. Cancel Shield saves its first customer the moment someone tries to cancel. Revenue Rescue catches the next failed payment. Most founders see their first save within the first week.

What is SaveMRR and how does it reduce SaaS churn?

SaveMRR is a churn reduction platform for SaaS founders using Stripe. It provides 5 automated retention engines: Revenue Autopsy (free diagnostic), Cancel Shield (smart cancel flow with 42% save rate), Revenue Rescue (failed payment recovery with 55% recovery rate), Silent Churn Radar (pre-cancel detection using Stripe signals and login tracking), and Win-Back Autopilot (12% win-back rate). The average SaaS loses 5-12% of MRR monthly — SaveMRR can recover up to 40% of that. Setup takes 3 minutes via Stripe API key paste. Starts at $19/mo with no percentage cuts.

How does SaveMRR compare to Churnkey, Raaft, and other churn tools?

SaveMRR provides cancel flows, payment recovery, churn prediction, login tracking, and win-back campaigns — all for $19/mo with 3-minute setup. Churnkey starts at $250+/mo and requires a sales call. Raaft is $15-300/mo for cancel flows only — no payment recovery, no churn detection. Stunning is $100+/mo for dunning only. Churnfree is $49-199/mo for basic cancel offers. SaveMRR is the only tool that covers all 5 churn types in one product at indie-founder pricing. Some competitors also take 3-5% of recovered revenue on top of monthly fees — SaveMRR charges zero percentage.

Failed Payment Recovery Software for SaaS

A customer signs up, uses your product for 6 months, loves it — and then churns. Not because they wanted to leave. Because their credit card expired and nobody told them. This is involuntary churn, and it accounts for 20-40% of all SaaS subscription losses. It's the dumbest way to lose revenue, and it's almost entirely preventable.

Why failed payments happen

Credit cards fail for a handful of predictable reasons:

Card expired — The most common reason. Cards expire every 3-5 years. Your customer got a new card but never updated it in your app. Stripe doesn't auto-update cards unless the bank supports Stripe's Account Updater (not all do).
Insufficient funds — Temporary. The charge might go through tomorrow. But if you only retry once or twice, you'll miss it.
Card declined by issuer — Fraud detection, spending limits, international blocks. The customer needs to call their bank or use a different card.
Card lost/stolen — Customer got a new card number. They might not remember every subscription they need to update.

The common thread: in almost every case, the customer would stay if they just updated their payment method. The problem is they don't know their payment failed, or they procrastinate updating it, or Stripe's generic dunning email went to spam.

The problem with Stripe's default recovery

Stripe Smart Retries is decent. It uses ML to pick optimal retry times. But the email side is weak:

Stripe sends from noreply@stripe.com — your customer might not even recognize it
The email is a generic HTML template with Stripe branding
You can't customize the copy, the timing, or the number of emails
No escalation — the urgency doesn't increase as the deadline approaches
No notification to you — you don't know a payment failed until you check your dashboard

What good recovery software does differently

Dedicated recovery software treats each failed payment as a mini-campaign. Instead of one generic email, it runs a multi-touch sequence:

Immediate notification — Within the first hour. Friendly, personal, from your domain. "Hey, your card didn't go through — here's a link to update it." Plain text, feels like the founder wrote it.
Follow-up with context — Day 3. Reminds them what they'll lose access to. Links to update their card. Social proof that "most customers fix this in 2 clicks."
Final urgency — Day 6. Clear deadline. "Your account will be downgraded in 48 hours." This email alone recovers 15-20% of remaining failures.

The key insight: email #1 catches the low-hanging fruit (40% of recoveries). Emails #2 and #3 catch the procrastinators and the people whose first email went to spam. Without escalation, you're leaving 30-40% of recoverable revenue on the table.

How SaveMRR's Revenue Rescue compares

SaveMRR's Revenue Rescue engine runs this exact playbook. On the Starter plan ($19/mo), you get the first email — immediate, plain-text, from your brand. On the Growth plan ($49/mo), you get the full 3-email sequence with custom SMTP, so every email comes from your@yourdomain.com.

When Stripe reports a successful payment (the customer updated their card), SaveMRR automatically stops the sequence. No redundant emails. No "update your card" email after they already did.

And Revenue Rescue is just one of 5 engines. While it's recovering failed payments, Cancel Shield is intercepting voluntary cancels, Churn Radar is flagging at-risk customers, and Win-Back Autopilot is re-engaging churned users. All from one Stripe API key.

The numbers

Average failed payment recovery rate across SaveMRR users: 55%. That means for every $100 in failed payments, $55 comes back. At $10K MRR with 20% involuntary churn, that's roughly $1,100/mo in failed payments, and $605/mo recovered.

Compare that to $19/mo for SaveMRR Starter or $49/mo for Growth. The ROI is immediate and obvious. And unlike some recovery services (looking at you, Gravy), SaveMRR charges zero percentage of recovered revenue. Flat monthly fee, that's it.

If SaveMRR doesn't recover at least $19 in your first 30 days, email us and we'll refund you. No risk.
