Churnkey vs Baremetrics Recover vs Recoupe (2026)

All three tools attack the same leak: subscription revenue lost to failed payments. They differ on price, surface area, and who they're built for. Here's the honest map including where the others are the better pick.

Churnkey

The most complete churn platform of the three: cancel-flow interception, dunning, reactivation, session recordings of cancel moments. Priced accordingly typically $100–250+/mo. If you're at $50k+ MRR with a team that will actually use all of it, it's excellent.

Baremetrics Recover

Part of the Baremetrics analytics suite. Strong if you already live in Baremetrics dashboards and want recovery bundled with metrics. Again priced for scale rather than for a bootstrapper's first $10k of MRR.

Recoupe

Built for the smaller end: $29/mo flat no MRR-scaled pricing, no percentage of recovered revenue. Recovery emails tailored to the decline reason, pre-expiry warnings, editable copy, and an attribution ledger that only counts recoveries its own emails caused recoveries from Stripe's automatic retries are labeled as Stripe's. There's also an optional $49/mo cancel-flow module for voluntary churn, and native Square/Braintree support.

How to choose

• Under ~$25k MRR, want the leak fixed cheaply: Recoupe
• Living in Baremetrics already: Recover is the path of least resistance
• $50k+ MRR, dedicated growth/retention owner: Churnkey earns its price
• Whatever you pick: demand honest attribution before trusting any 'recovered revenue' number
