"Efficient Subscription Payment with Exceptional Support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Recurly?

I find Recurly to be extremely easy to use and set up, which made the initial setup for my team pretty straightforward. The detailed developer documentation provided is incredibly helpful, allowing us to fully utilize the platform's capabilities with ease. The customer service stands out remarkably as it offers actual human support, which means I can get to the root of any problem quickly without spending time talking to artificial intelligence. Starting to speak with a human almost instantly without unnecessary delays is definitely a significant advantage. Overall, Recurly effectively manages my requirements for payment processing, account, and subscription management, making it a reliable solution for my needs.

"Super Easy and Powerful Subscription Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Recurly?

The API is pretty easy to use, but the customer support is why I stick around. You can't run a saas without hitting a few bumps. They always are willing to figure out what happened, and help you make it right with the customer. Even if it was just you were being dumb. It's easy to get started, and you can start with their hosted pages doing the heavy lifting, then as you grow as a company, you can start "taking over" pages to make the process more seemless for your clients. Their analytics is also good, if you do traditional saas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

The API docs are.. goofy sometimes. Othertimes it's downright incorrect. Lastly, the way they handle ids (subscription ids, customer ids) is different depending on the context. The ID you get in the api isn't the same you see if you visit the customer's page on their website. The webhooks are great, but because the ID's are rough, sometimes you are left guessing as how to match stuff up. Also while their analytics is great, analytics for pay per usage is seriously lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jav Brown of Recurly

We're thrilled to hear that you find our API easy to use and that our customer support has been helpful for you. We appreciate your feedback about the API documentation and the handling of IDs, and we will definitely take that into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for choosing Recurly for your subscription management needs!

"Efficient Subscription Management, But Interface Needs Smoothing"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Recurly?

I appreciate how Recurly streamlines subscription management, automates the billing process, and offers straightforward reporting. It helps save time, minimizes mistakes, and makes scaling recurring revenue operations much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

At times, the interface feels somewhat clunky, making navigation less smooth than I would like. Customizing reports or workflows often takes more effort than expected, and I’ve found that some of the more advanced features aren’t particularly intuitive for those who are new to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jav Brown of Recurly

We're glad to hear that you find Recurly's subscription management and billing automation helpful. We appreciate your feedback about the interface and customization, and we're continuously working to improve the user experience.

"Reliable Billing with Attentive Support, Some Bugs to Iron Out"
4/5
What do you like best about Recurly?

I really like Recurly's attentive team. Their automated dunning features are also a big plus. The intelligent dunning ensures failed card retries happen on an optimized timeline, rather than at random or on a specific cadence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

I'd say there's some bugs, especially in the rollout of new features. Occasionally, we can run into some bugs that, unfortunately, we have to identify. And then work backwards to provide safeguards for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jav Brown of Recurly

Thank you for your kind words about our team. Our team is dedicated to providing a seamless experience, and we are actively working to address any bugs and improve our service. We appreciate your patience and continued support.

I like that Recurly is easy to use and that it has a good support team. Good support is crucial in the annoying moments of not being able to find something or having to change something you messed up the access for. Being easy to use is valuable as it doesn't waste my time when using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

The dunning campaigns could be improved so that it becomes possible to create a dunning campaign that sends no emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jav Brown of Recurly

We're glad to hear that you find Recurly easy to use and that our support team has been helpful for you. We appreciate your feedback about the dunning campaigns, and we will take it into consideration for future improvements.

"Great Support and Self-Service Fit, but UI and Enterprise Features Need Work"
3/5

Recurly has fast and usually very helpful customer support. The CSM and technical engineers are a great team overall. For self-service use cases, Recurly works really well and is a great fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

Poor monitoring of integration errors by the user, lack of features for enterprise customers which are not self-service customers, uncomfortable UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Recurly, the solid subscription management platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Recurly?

Being directly involved with Customer Support, this tool, the entire Recurly platform, is essential for our business to run. And having all the data you need at your disposal always makes it simple and efficient. I am using it for 12 hours per day every day. And I can offer support in real time, both to our customers, both to our company internal needs. It is perfectly integrated into our system, linked to other CMS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

There are some restrictions but imposed by the need to be in compliance with transaction duties, so the fact that you cannot edit something, like an already produced invoice, or an existing coupon, without having to rely to some workaround, is something that you can live with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jav Brown of Recurly

We're thrilled to hear that Recurly is essential for your business and that it helps you offer real-time support to your customers and internal needs. We appreciate your feedback!

Recurly's reporting & analytics gave our team more insight and clarity into our business than we've ever had previously, plus the flexibility to have multiple checkout pages for different products/promotions makes our marketing more fine-tuned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

Recurly does not keep you logged in for more than 10 minutes, throughout the day, I'm constantly forced to log back in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jav Brown of Recurly
