Pros
The ease of use and the easy to navigate user interface of Recurly is really great as not all platforms offers this kind of experience nor accessibility.
The software is good, the API and connetivity is good, the new catalog upgrade will be very helpful for us. And the support team is EXCELLENT.
The ability to set recurring billing on automation is great and easy to set up. Plus their customers service team is awesome and always their when you need them.
Cons
Very frustrating as an admin to manage that somewhat confusing anomaly.
Charged us thousands of dollars for collecting on a single bill.
At my previous company, we used an ancient subscription management tool that worked but was very painful to use at every step.

Incredible Support

Reviewed 3 years ago

We've used Recurly to power our billing for over 5 years now and it's fully integrated into our systems and processes. We're big fans of the ease of use and bigger fans of the phenomenal support.

Pros

While the features and ease of use are great, I'm most impressed with their customer service and ability to answer each question my team or I have quickly and thoroughly.

Cons

No major cons I can think of. We're trying to integrate GoCardless and it's been a little clunky, but I don't think that's at the fault of Recurly.

Vendor response

We appreciate you've taken the time to share your experience with Recurly - and thrilled that customer services has been helpful. We love celebrating with our customers. If there's something we can do to improve your experience, please let us know.

A must for emerging subscription-based business model

Reviewed 2 years ago

Recurly is packed with features. It's not the cheapest one in the market but it fulfills our need. There are some features we wish would be an add-on which will save us some dollars because we don't use it. The customer support is important to us and they are responsive and knowledgeable. There is a little learning curve when rolling this out to new hires.

Pros

Besides integrating well with our existing tools. We are fond of Recurly because we can accommodate a wider reach of customers beyond month-to-month plans. The subscriptions can be customized the way we like it (think annual plans, prepaid plans, every other month, every three month-type of billing.) The invoicing feature allows our sales team to close deals without asking for upfront credit card information. Once accounts have been set up, we can always provide a specific link so customers can pay by themselves reducing the amount of people seeing their cards thus building trust.

Cons

When processing a refund, it generates another invoice with a different invoice number. I think it would be better if the actual invoice will be updated to say "fully refunded/partially refunded" instead of creating another one. For security reasons, the software times out over a period of inactivity. When 2-step verification is enabled, it will always ask for it when you re-login...just a minor annoyance.

Vendor response

We appreciate you've taken the time to share your experience with Recurly. We work with customers worldwide, enabling the full subscriber lifecycle. We especially love celebrating with our customers as they grow. Congratulations. If there's something we can do to improve your experience, beyond what you've listed above, please let us know!

Disappointing customer support

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

decent interface. good integration functionality although this breaks every so often.

Cons

Customer service was disappointing at best. Charged us thousands of dollars for collecting on a single bill. We flagged this to them multiple times but got passed around 5 different customer support people and eventually told us that they wouldn't entertain our request. We have been a customer of theirs for over three years and its so disappointing to feel ripped off this way.

Vendor response

We appreciate you've taken the time to express your concern. It appears we've fallen short. This isn't acceptable to us. Recurly provides a subscription management platform for 2200+ businesses, and we welcome every opportunity to improve. Please reach out to support@recurly.com should you still need assistance.

Recurly Covers all your billing needs

Reviewed 4 years ago

Recurly has the best subscription billing service that I have worked with (I have used several). Their costs are fair and as mentioned previously, the freedom I have to set up everything the way I want to based on my needs is the reason why we will continue to use this service.

Pros

What I like the most about Recurly is the versatility, I have many options to send customized discounts, codes, create plans, edit renewals dates, process manual payments, send invoices, set up alerts, customize invoices and provide credits.

Cons

If I can say anything that I don't like is that sometimes a pop-up comes up for support and gets in the way of me working when I'm not looking to contact support. I understand the platform is just letting me know I can contact support for any issues and how but for experience users that know how to do this already, it can just be a little annoying.

Vendor response

Thank you! We appreciate you've taken the time to share your experience with Recurly. If there's something we can do to improve your experience, beyond the pop-up notifications, please let us know.

The top solution for recurring billing.

Reviewed 9 months ago

We take the privacy of our clients' personal information seriously, and our billing procedure is meticulous. Recurly has excellent settings/configurations that let users just access the information they require and limit access to the information they do not. Recurly has significantly improved how we handle billing.

Pros

It's incredibly easy to use once you know how! In essence, getting all the information I need only requires one or two clicks on my part. It's also a huge plus that the records are time and date stamped because it makes it simpler for me to search up the data I need to access for payments and billing concerns.

Cons

Recurly's need for us to generate new passwords every sometime is the one thing I really dislike about it. The rest is flawless.

Vendor response

We appreciate you've taken the time to share your experience with Recurly. We work with customers worldwide, enabling the full subscriber lifecycle. If there's something we can do to improve your experience, above what you've indicated above, please let us know!
