Which tool are you replacing?
Backstop vs Churnkey
The most established retention suite — deep AI offers, an account agent, SMS dunning, multi-processor support.
Genuinely powerful, but the floor is enterprise-priced with no free tier. If you bill on Stripe at indie-SaaS scale, you pay for capacity you won’t use.
Backstop vs ProsperStack
Cancel-flow and save-offer focused, with AI-generated offer copy and a broad CRM/marketing integration surface.
Strong on cancel flows, lighter on Stripe-native recovery scheduling — and no full billing-portal replacement to point your “Manage subscription” button at.
Backstop vs Paddle Retain
Pure failed-payment recovery (formerly ProfitWell Retain) — now bundled into Paddle Billing rather than sold standalone.
It’s tied to moving your billing onto Paddle. If you’re staying on Stripe, Backstop gives you the same recovery without re-platforming your payments.
Backstop vs Baremetrics Recover
A recovery add-on to Baremetrics’ analytics suite — SMS + in-app reminders and payment paywalls.
Recovery is a bolt-on to an analytics product. Backstop is recovery + cancel flow + a full customer portal as the main event, Stripe-native.
Backstop vs Stunning
Extends Stripe’s retry window, supports backup payment methods on the update page, and pings Slack on every dunning state change.
Email-and-retries focused. Backstop adds the cancel-flow save loop, a hosted portal, and lifecycle/win-back email on top of recovery.
Why teams switch to Backstop
Stripe-native, one OAuth click
Built only for Stripe — no re-platforming your billing, no multi-processor bloat you’ll never use. Connect in ~30 seconds.
Recovery + cancel flow + a real portal
Smart retries and 4-touch dunning, a visual cancel-flow save builder, and a hosted customer portal that replaces Stripe’s billing portal — not just one piece.
Flat $79/mo, free tier, 0% rev share
No percentage of recovered revenue, no enterprise quote. A genuine free tier (10 campaigns/mo) to start, $79/mo Pro when you grow.
Sends from your own domain
Dunning and lifecycle email goes out from your verified domain with your branding — included on Pro, not gated behind a higher tier.
Run it side by side on the free tier.
Connect Stripe, recreate your cancel flow from a template, and compare recovery + save rates against your current tool for two weeks. Switch when you're sure — we export your data either direction, no lock-in.
