5% to 12% of your monthly revenue silently disappears every billing cycle. Rebounce wins it back on autopilot. Smart retries, recovery emails, WhatsApp nudges. Plug it into the billing stack you already run.
Quick answers
Rebounce recovers failed subscription payments before they become churn. It layers email, SMS, WhatsApp, in-app banners, checkout recovery, and a branded payment-update page on top of Stripe Smart Retries, lifting recovery from ~38% to 60-80%. Failed payments cause 20-40% of all SaaS churn (Recurly, ProfitWell), so closing this gap directly cuts your churn rate. Setup takes five minutes via Stripe OAuth, no code.
Stripe Smart Retries only retry the card. They do not email customers, send SMS or WhatsApp, show in-app banners, recover abandoned Stripe Checkout sessions, send card-expiry pre-warnings, run cancellation flows, or send win-back campaigns. Rebounce does all of that and more, while letting Stripe Smart Retries continue handling retry timing. The two are complements: Stripe gets you to ~38% recovery, Rebounce closes the rest of the gap to 60-80%. See the full Rebounce vs Stripe comparison.
Smart payment retries with decline-code awareness, multi-channel dunning (email, SMS, WhatsApp), in-app payment banners, abandoned Stripe Checkout recovery, a branded payment-update page with Apple Pay and Google Pay, card expiry pre-warnings, cancellation flow builder, win-back campaigns, A/B testing on email templates, Slack and Discord real-time alerts, weekly recovery digests, custom email branding, and a free Stripe audit. Starts at $3.50/mo for up to $10k MRR. See all dunning tools compared.
Rebounce is the indie-first dunning tool: $3.50/mo flat (vs $249/mo for Churn Buster, $100/mo for Churnkey, $129/mo bundled with Baremetrics analytics), built specifically for solo founders and small SaaS teams. It is the only tool at this price tier with SMS, WhatsApp, checkout recovery, in-app banners, cancellation flows, and win-back campaigns. The bigger tools target $50k+ MRR enterprise teams and price accordingly; Rebounce serves the long tail of small SaaS Stripe never built dunning for. Side-by-side comparison.
A typical SaaS loses 5-15% of MRR per year to failed payments. Stripe Smart Retries alone recovers ~38%; Rebounce typically recovers 60-80%. On a $30k MRR SaaS losing 9% to failures, that is the difference between recovering ~$12k/yr (Stripe alone) and ~$23k/yr (Rebounce on top).
