Why pick Recovery Pilot

The specific places we're better — not a feature checklist, the things that actually matter.

Flat $29/mo — no scaling fees

Churn Buster's entry tier moves up quickly once you cross MRR thresholds or feature gates. Recovery Pilot is $29/mo regardless of how many subs you have, how many recoveries we save, or how much MRR you grow to.

AI brand voice baked in

Churn Buster offers email templates with variable substitution. Recovery Pilot trains on YOUR previous emails and rewrites every recovery email in your tone — no two campaigns look identical.

5-minute setup vs 30-minute onboarding

Churn Buster has team accounts, role assignment, customer mapping rules — useful for finance ops, overkill for solo founders. Recovery Pilot is Stripe Connect OAuth + train brand voice = done.

Founder-led support, not a CSM rotation

Email the founder directly. Sending email at scale since 2010 — recovery sequences are the easiest problem in their domain. No support tickets, no SLA roulette.

Where Churn Buster is better

Honest framing — if any of these matter to you, Churn Buster is the right choice today.

No advanced retry timing ML

Churn Buster has a sophisticated retry ML engine that optimizes per-card-network timing. Recovery Pilot uses Stripe's built-in Smart Retries (which are already good) and layers email on top — sufficient for indie tier, not as deep for enterprise volume.

No SOC 2 yet

Churn Buster is SOC 2 compliant. Recovery Pilot is on the roadmap (Y2). If your customers require SOC 2 in their vendor security review, pick Churn Buster today.
