RecoverPricing
Free for 30 days, then a quarter of what we recover
You pay nothing until RecoverFlow has had a month to work on your actual failed payments. After that it is one percentage with a floor and a ceiling. No plans, no seats, no card to connect, and no charge for payments that came back on their own.
25%
of what we can prove we recovered, never below $29 a month and never above $299
- First 30 days: no floor, no percentage, no card. Recover nothing, pay nothing.
- The 25% applies only to recoveries we can attribute to a specific thing we did.
- A $29 monthly floor once your first 30 days are up, so a quiet month costs $29 rather than nothing.
- A $299 monthly ceiling, however much we recover. The floor and the percentage never stack past it.
- Never billed for payments that came back on their own.
- Refunded or charged back later? Not billed, and if we already billed it, the fee comes back as a credit.
- No card required to connect and run the 90 day scan.

If you are comparing this with a flat monthly fee
Several tools in this category charge a flat monthly subscription instead of a share of what they recover. Those two models are a different bet rather than a different price, so it is worth putting them next to each other before you get further down this page.
| The situation | A flat monthly fee | RecoverFlow |
|---|---|---|
| Your first month, before you know if it works | You pay the fee | You pay nothing |
| It turns out you have almost nothing to recover | You pay the fee, every month | You pay the $29 floor, or you disconnect |
| A month where it recovers a great deal | You pay the fee | You pay 25%, and never more than $299 |
| Who is out of pocket if it does not work | You | Us, for the first 30 days |
Read that table honestly and a flat fee wins on price at steady volume. If you already know roughly what you recover each month, and you want the smallest possible line item on the invoice, buy on price and take the flat fee. That is a reasonable decision and I am not going to pretend otherwise.
RecoverFlow is priced for the situation before that one, which is the one most people are actually in: you do not yet know whether working your failed payments is worth doing at all, and you would rather not pay a subscription to find out. So the first 30 days cost nothing, the estimator and the 90 day scan cost nothing, and after that you only pay on recoveries we can point at. The ceiling is there so that choosing this model never becomes the expensive decision later on.
The part that matters most: attribution
Any tool that bills on results has an obvious temptation, which is to take credit for money that was coming back anyway. Some failed payments recover on their own. A customer's balance refreshes, or Stripe's own retries succeed, and the invoice gets paid with nobody doing anything.
RecoverFlow only bills on recoveries it can attribute to a specific action it took, meaning a retry it scheduled or a card update email it sent that the customer acted on.
If a payment comes back and RecoverFlow cannot point to the thing that caused it, that recovery is recorded as unattributed and it is not billed. The system is deliberately built to round in your favor rather than ours.
This is also the honest answer to a fair question, which is why you would pay for this when Stripe already retries failed payments for free. You should have Stripe's own recovery switched on. Anything it recovers is not something you get billed for here.
How the arithmetic works
The examples below are illustrations of the pricing formula, not results from customers. RecoverFlow launched in July 2026 and does not have recovery figures to publish yet. When it does, they will be on this page with the methodology attached.
| Attributed recovery in a month | 25% fee | Minimum top-up | What you pay | What you keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0 | $0 | $29 | $29 | $0 |
| $400 | $100 | $0 | $100 | $300 |
| $2,000 | $299 | $0 | $299 | $1,701 |
| $10,000 | $299 | $0 | $299 | $9,701 |
Three bands, and you can work out which one you are in without a call. Below about $116 of attributed recovery in a month, the $29 minimum is the larger number and that is what you pay. Between there and about $1,196 you are purely on the percentage. Above $1,196 the 25% would exceed $299, so you pay $299 and nothing more, which is why both of the bottom rows read the same.
Why there is a cap at all
Because without one, this pricing has a real problem, and it is worth naming rather than waiting for you to notice it.
A pure percentage means my revenue goes up when your churn gets worse. That is an uncomfortable thing to build a business on. It is also a criticism competitors in this category make of each other in public, and it lands harder the larger the share is. At 25% it lands on us.
The cap is the part of the answer I can put in writing. Past $1,196 of attributed recovery a month, your bill stops moving, so a worse month for you stops being a better month for me. It does not fix the alignment problem below that line, and I am not going to claim it does. What it does is bound it, and bound it at a number you can see before you sign up rather than discover afterwards.
If your scan comes back at a scale where even this looks wrong, email me at admin@recoverflow.org before you sign up. I would rather have a customer on sensible terms than lose one to arithmetic I could have fixed.
The cap only ever lowers a bill, so it takes nothing away from anyone. It is also easier to promise than to withdraw: raising or removing it later would be a price rise on everyone who signed up under it, so treat it as a commitment rather than an introductory offer.
What the $29 minimum is for
It covers running your account in months when there was little or nothing to recover: watching your subscriptions, processing Stripe events, keeping your history and reporting available. It is waived entirely for your first 30 days so you can see real behaviour on your own data before any money changes hands.
If you would rather not carry a minimum in quiet months, disconnecting takes one click in your Stripe dashboard and nothing in your billing changes.
What you are not charged for
- Setup or onboarding. There is none to speak of, it is a Stripe app install.
- The 90 day backward-looking scan. That is free and does not require a card.
- Seats. Pricing does not change with team size.
- Failed payments that recovered on their own.
- Cancellation. There is no contract and no exit fee.
Frequently asked questions
What does RecoverFlow cost?
25% of the failed payments RecoverFlow can attribute to a specific action it took, with a $29 monthly floor and a $299 monthly ceiling however much it recovers. The $29 floor starts after your first 30 days. There is nothing to pay up front and no card is required to connect.
Am I charged for payments that would have recovered anyway?
No. Every recovery is attributed to the specific action that caused it. Payments that came back on their own, or that Stripe's own retries recovered, are not attributed and are not billed.
What if a recovered payment is later refunded or charged back?
Then it was not recovered revenue and we do not keep a fee on it. If it has not been invoiced yet, the reversed amount comes off the billable total. If it has, the fee we charged for it is credited back on your next invoice, against the whole invoice including the $29 minimum, and any unused credit carries forward.
What happens if RecoverFlow recovers nothing?
In your first 30 days you pay nothing at all. After that the $29 monthly minimum applies whether or not there was anything to recover.
Is 25% expensive?
It depends on your volume, and there are three bands. Below about $116 of attributed recovery a month you pay the $29 minimum. Between there and about $1,196 you pay the 25%. Above $1,196 the share would exceed $299, so you pay $299 and nothing more. The cap exists because an uncapped percentage means the vendor earns more as your churn gets worse, which is a fair criticism of this pricing model and one worth bounding in writing.
Why not just buy a tool with a flat monthly fee?
If you already know roughly what you recover each month and you want the smallest possible line item, a flat fee is cheaper at steady volume and that is a reasonable decision. RecoverFlow is priced for the situation before that one, where you do not yet know whether working your failed payments is worth doing. The first 30 days cost nothing, the estimator and the 90 day scan cost nothing, and after that you only pay on recoveries RecoverFlow can attribute to a specific action it took. There is a side by side comparison above.
Is there a contract or lock-in?
No. RecoverFlow installs as a Stripe App and you can uninstall it from your own Stripe dashboard at any time. Your billing keeps working exactly as before.
Do you see my customers' card numbers?
No. Stripe holds every card and processes every charge. Card data never reaches RecoverFlow's servers.
