Revnio vs Churn Buster
Churn Buster is a subscription retention service offering dunning (failed-payment recovery) and cancel flows, founded in 2013. Revnio is automated failed-payment recovery for SaaS on Stripe, Chargebee and Paddle, with email and WhatsApp outreach (SMS coming soon) at a flat monthly price. Here is how they compare, including when Churn Buster is the better choice.
About Churn Buster
Churn Buster has two products: Dunning and Cancel Flows. Its dunning sequence sends email from a dedicated sending pool on your domain, then SMS, then alerts your own team, and gives customers a no-login card update page with 3D Secure on Stripe and Braintree.
It integrates with Stripe, Braintree and Recurly and with a long list of ecommerce subscription tools such as Shopify, Recharge, Skio and Ordergroove, which makes it a common pick for subscription ecommerce brands.

Switching to Revnio
Connecting takes a few minutes: paste a restricted Stripe key, or an API key for Chargebee or Paddle. Revnio sets up the webhook in your account, syncs your customers, subscriptions and invoices, and starts recovery on new failed payments. To avoid customers getting two sets of reminders, turn off the other tool's emails for the same failures once Revnio is live. Our dunning email templates and decline code guide help you set up the sequence.
