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. In our data, 44% of customers who opened the payment page paid (58 of 131). 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: in our data, card retries alone recovered about 5.5% (53 of 961), and Rebounce is how the customer gets contacted. 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. In our data, card retries alone recovered about 5.5%, and 44% of customers who opened the payment page paid. Run your own numbers in our free churn calculator or grab a free Stripe audit for the exact figure on your account.

Stripe keeps retrying the card. Rebounce gets your customer to fix it: a message in your name and a page where they put in a new card, no login.
Stripe, Paddle or Square. Connect in a few clicks, nothing to install, and Rebounce starts watching your charges right away.
The day a charge fails, your customer gets an email in your name. On Growth and Scale a WhatsApp message goes out too, with a text message as backup if WhatsApp doesn't reach them.
The message links to a page with your name and the amount due. They type a new card, the overdue payment goes through on it, and the next charges use it too.
If they don't act, reminders keep going for 14 days. Once the payment clears, through the link or any other way, they stop, and it shows up on your dashboard and weekly report.
Drag the sliders. The math runs locally. The estimate assumes a 71% recovery rate, a market benchmark and not a Rebounce result.

Industry research from Recurly, ProfitWell, and Baremetrics shows involuntary churn (failed payments) accounts for 20-40% of total churn at subscription businesses. Stripe's own Smart Retries only retries the card and does not contact the customer. In our data, retries alone recovered about 5.5%.
