"Great Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Recurly?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Jack,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It means a great deal to hear your feedback. We do our best to always remain available if any questions come up. Billing is an important piece of the tech stack, and it’s crucial you can access help when needed. Regarding GoCardless, that’s great you’re integrating with them. Beginning to collect direct debit payments is a great thing for your company. I apologize for any inconvenience that may have happened, though. Please do let us know if there is anything on our side that needs to be addressed. Thanks again. - The Recurly Team

"This is by far the best customer customer subscription tool that i have used ."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Recurly?

My team can capture all interactions and updates to the customer account. Also, any changes to the account like new subscriptions, cancellations, payments made, etc. are all captured and recorded, and it is seamless management of customer data across different members of the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

While it offers a robust payment interface, with new work from home environment, the payment interface does not check all PCI compliant boxes, which the company can explore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Recurly:

It's a great CRM tool for customer data maintenance and subscription management and offers extensive reporting and hence it will be a good buy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Recurly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Well, the whole subscription cycle of my customer base, payments, and customer data maintenance is managed within Recurly, and i have not had any issues or downtime with the tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product and service, terrible customer email deliverability"

1/5

What do you like best about Recurly?

The platform is quite easy to use with every feature that we need for our SaaS business. The support is 24/7 and generally excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

The emails (invoices etc) sent by Recurly very often do not get received by customers. We are constantly having to apologise to our users and manually sent them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"efficient system for collecting payments"

4/5

What do you like best about Recurly?

Very low maintenance system that I can easily configure changes in the administration. Recurly is highly dependable in collecting the payments each month and we never have had an issue where Recurly had an outage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

Needing to use a third-party tool also costs money if we want to integrate back to Netsuite ERP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible Recurring Billing Tool for Small and Big Companies Alike"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Recurly?

For one, the learning curve from across our organization is short. This tool is intuitive from customer to subscription to invoice views. It was easy for us to deploy and train all users, including new people. Our business revolves around subscriptions. This tool helps us accommodate customer requirements beyond regular month-to-month billing (i.e., every other month, prepayment, etc.) The invoicing feature answers most of our needs. It works well with our existing CRM and reporting tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

It is not the cheapest tool in the market, but they offer flexible billing depending on your need. There are small/minor nuances which, if gone, would improve our workflow. For one, when creating multiple subscriptions, there is a one-minute delay before you can create another one. The tool times out frequently, which I think is good, but it can be not very pleasant when you have a 2-step verification set-up. You will need to pick up your phone frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Recurly:

If you are using Zendesk as your CRM, Recurly has a widget that may help improve the workflow of your agent. Recurly works well with Stripe as payment processor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Recurly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to do manual billing, and we built automation in-house. We need a specific tool for recurring B2B billing. We figured out our existing system is only designed for simple customer transactions and not for corporate ones. Recurly seems to answer this need resulting in increased sales. This is because we can accommodate different corporate customer needs and nuances (i.e., net payments, ACH, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Recurly is awkward..."

1/5

What do you like best about Recurly?

The API is pretty good, mostly. The UI is fairly easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

There is a lack of flexibility and it's hard to get certain things done because they're not supported and should be, imo. The email templates could be more flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for SaaS"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Recurly?

Recurly is feature-rich and provides you with everything you need to manage your subscriptions. Especially the dunning management is great. They also offer great and quick customer support via live chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

I disliked the analytics they offered. But they just released an updated version which is much better now. Only the customer lifetime value calculation is not ideal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pretty good for subscription services!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Recurly?

Easy user interface. Ability to access client information and history. Integrations to your favorite gateways. Creating coupons. Managing all that. Everything is pretty easy once you get set up. GIving team members varying level of access. All good features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Recurly?

Would be cool to be able to manage 3rd party (apple, android) subscriptions more efficiently under the same platform, but understand it may not be possible. There are (or least used to be) some limitations for gifting subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
