Switch from Stunning to SaveMRR
Stunning was one of the first Stripe dunning tools, and it does failed payment recovery reliably. But that's all it does, and it charges you more as your MRR grows. At $10K MRR you're paying ~$50/mo for one feature. SaveMRR gives you 6 retention engines (dunning, cancel flows, churn prediction, win-back campaigns, card expiry alerts, and revenue analytics) for a flat $19/mo. See the full SaveMRR vs Stunning comparison.
Why Stunning Customers Switch
Stunning has been around since ~2015 and earned its reputation as a dependable dunning tool for Stripe. But indie SaaS founders consistently hit the same 3 walls: the percentage-based pricing punishes growth, the product only covers one of the six retention capabilities they need, and the UI hasn't kept pace with modern tools. Check our dunning email benchmark to see how modern dunning should perform.
| Plan | Price | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Stunning Starter | ~$50/mo | Percentage-based. Estimated cost at $10K MRR. |

| SaveMRR Growth | $49/mo | Unlimited Stripe accounts + advanced analytics. |
Top frustrations we hear
"I shouldn't have to pay more just because my MRR grew"
Stunning's percentage-based pricing means your dunning bill scales with your revenue. At $10K MRR you pay ~$50/mo, at $40K MRR ~$120/mo, and past $50K MRR you're well over $150/mo, for a single feature. SaveMRR is $19/mo flat regardless of whether your MRR is $5K or $500K.
"I need more than just dunning emails"
Stunning only handles failed payment recovery. It doesn't offer cancel flows, churn prediction, win-back campaigns, card expiry pre-dunning, or revenue analytics. Compare the best payment failure email tools. to match SaveMRR's coverage with Stunning, you'd need to add 3-4 additional tools, each with their own subscription and integration.
"The interface feels like it hasn't been updated in years"
Stunning's dashboard was designed in the mid-2010s and hasn't received a significant UI refresh. For founders who live in their dashboards, the dated interface makes it harder to quickly understand recovery performance. Learn how to set up dunning in Stripe with a modern tool instead.
