## Reviews

### "Billing made easy\!" — 5.0/5

> **Heather** | *26 January 2023* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I particularly liked the transaction feature, where you can check the status and errors of the card on file or before it gets saved in the system. It gives you precise information about the error you are encountering and a suggested solution. Also, it has a lot of other features like the card update tab, activities, and the list of orders/invoices.
> 
> **Cons**: What I like least is the automatic log-out feature if you're idled for more than 15 minutes, the software's security system. It's not a big deal but it gets inconvenient sometimes.
> 
> Overall, Recurly is a very helpful and organizational software for billing and purchase concerns.

### "Recurly is a good choice for online subscription billing and management" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 September 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Recurly is simple to use and configure.  As a support representative, it is easy to review customer billing information, subscription(s), and coupons or discounts as well as make changes as needed.  I like that there are hosted account and billing management pages that can be provided to allow a customer to update their information without having to login.
> 
> **Cons**: As a non-admin user, I am restricted to some of the data I need to support my customers such as the ability to view add-on products and reports detailing which products were sold and to whom.  Perhaps this is merely a configuration my company has decided to enact versus default access based on user type.
> 
> Overall, Recurly is an easy to use subscription billing and management tool.  From a support representative perspective, it allows me to service my customers and provide information without assistance from the Finance team for general billing inquiries or issues.  I recommend this software for recurring subscription products/services.

### "Disappointing customer support" — 1.0/5

> **Poohan** | *12 March 2020* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **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.&#10;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.

-----

### "No hassles" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *3 February 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked that the system was solid in it's performance. It simply always worked and we never had complaints from customers on invoices and payments.
> 
> **Cons**: It took a long time before they made direct debit available.
> 
> In the end we left them. I reached out to their Customer Success manager to get a good deal on the Enterprise plan. They didn't pick up my signal that I was also looking at other systems. They didn't seem interested to keep us as a customer, so we left.

### "Not great, but the best reoccurring billing platform." — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *29 April 2018* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - Most advanced tool in the space.&#13;&#10;- Ability to customize checkouts with reculry.js&#13;&#10;- lots of flexibility in ways to use the platform
> 
> **Cons**: - Wish the exported reports were betting (can't see how many days left in an ending subscrtiption in export -- so can't follow up with them. Can only see number of remaining occurences but if you offer monthly and annual for example you have to custom segment that information)&#13;&#10;- Wish the analytics were better (better insight into plan peformance, churn by plan etc.)&#13;&#10;- Better email targeting (currently not able to target endings trials unless the plan has a trial, not if they use a trial coupon -- lots of small issues like this across the platform.)&#13;&#10;- The emails sent from recurly servers end up in spam often for our customers.
