How does SaveMRR connect to Stripe?

You create a restricted API key in your Stripe dashboard and paste it into SaveMRR. Read-only access — SaveMRR cannot charge anyone, modify subscriptions, or touch your money. You can revoke the key in 2 clicks from Stripe anytime. No OAuth, no Stripe Connect, works in every country Stripe supports.

Will Cancel Shield break my existing cancel flow?

No. It's a single line of JavaScript you add to your app. When a customer clicks cancel, the widget pops up with an exit survey and a smart offer. If they accept, SaveMRR applies the discount or pause in Stripe. If you remove the script, your cancel flow goes back to exactly what it was. Zero risk.

How does SaveMRR login tracking work?

On the Growth plan, you drop a tiny JS snippet into your app (like an analytics script). It pings SaveMRR when a user logs in — no personal data, no tracking cookies. If someone hasn't logged in for 14 days, Churn Radar flags them as at-risk and auto-sends a check-in email. Most founders catch 3-5 at-risk customers per week they would have never noticed.

Does SaveMRR work with Paddle or LemonSqueezy?

Stripe only right now. That covers 96% of indie SaaS founders. Paddle and LemonSqueezy support is planned for later this year.

How much does SaveMRR cost?

Free plan: full Revenue Autopsy scan, no card needed. Starter: $19/mo (early bird, regular $49/mo) with Cancel Shield, Revenue Rescue, Churn Radar, daily digest. Growth: $49/mo (early bird, regular $99/mo) with everything in Starter plus Win-Back Autopilot, custom SMTP, JS login tracking, unlimited Stripe accounts, Slack alerts, custom branding. No percentage cuts — flat monthly fee. Early bird pricing locks in forever for the first 100 users.

Can I use SaveMRR on multiple SaaS products?

On the Growth plan, you can connect unlimited Stripe accounts from one dashboard with labels for each product. Perfect for portfolio founders running 3-8 micro-SaaS products. On the Starter plan, it's one Stripe account per SaveMRR account.

Can Revenue Rescue emails come from my own domain?

Yes. On the Growth plan, plug in your SMTP credentials and all recovery emails send from you@yourdomain.com — plain text, no 'sent via SaveMRR' footer. Looks like you personally wrote it.

How long before I see results with SaveMRR?

Revenue Autopsy shows your data in 60 seconds — you'll know exactly what you're losing before you even pay. Cancel Shield saves its first customer the moment someone tries to cancel. Revenue Rescue catches the next failed payment. Most founders see their first save within the first week.

What is SaveMRR and how does it reduce SaaS churn?

SaveMRR is a churn reduction platform for SaaS founders using Stripe. It provides 5 automated retention engines: Revenue Autopsy (free diagnostic), Cancel Shield (smart cancel flow with 42% save rate), Revenue Rescue (failed payment recovery with 55% recovery rate), Silent Churn Radar (pre-cancel detection using Stripe signals and login tracking), and Win-Back Autopilot (12% win-back rate). The average SaaS loses 5-12% of MRR monthly — SaveMRR can recover up to 40% of that. Setup takes 3 minutes via Stripe API key paste. Starts at $19/mo with no percentage cuts.

How does SaveMRR compare to Churnkey, Raaft, and other churn tools?

SaveMRR provides cancel flows, payment recovery, churn prediction, login tracking, and win-back campaigns — all for $19/mo with 3-minute setup. Churnkey starts at $250+/mo and requires a sales call. Raaft is $15-300/mo for cancel flows only — no payment recovery, no churn detection. Stunning is $100+/mo for dunning only. Churnfree is $49-199/mo for basic cancel offers. SaveMRR is the only tool that covers all 5 churn types in one product at indie-founder pricing. Some competitors also take 3-5% of recovered revenue on top of monthly fees — SaveMRR charges zero percentage.

Best Stripe Retention Software for SaaS in 2026

The average indie SaaS founder at $10K MRR loses $500–$1,200 every month to churn they could've prevented. Failed payments nobody chases. Customers who cancel without a word. Users who just stop logging in. The tools that could help — Churnkey, Baremetrics, ProfitWell — want $250+/mo and a sales call to get started. That's built for funded startups, not solo founders. SaveMRR was built to fix that.

This page breaks down what Stripe retention software actually does, why most tools are overbuilt and overpriced for indie founders, and how SaveMRR approaches the problem differently.

What is Stripe retention software?

Stripe handles billing. It doesn't handle retention. When a customer's card fails, Stripe retries it a few times and gives up. When someone clicks "cancel," Stripe cancels them. When a user stops logging in, Stripe has no idea.

Stripe retention software plugs these gaps. It sits between your Stripe account and your customers, catching the moments where revenue is about to walk out the door. The best tools handle five types of churn:

Failed payments — credit cards expire, get declined, or hit spending limits. This is involuntary churn — the customer didn't choose to leave, their payment just broke.
Voluntary cancellations — the customer actively decides to cancel. An exit survey + smart offer (discount, pause, call) can save 30-50% of these.
Silent churn signals — usage drops, logins stop, cards are about to expire. These are early warnings that a cancel is coming.
Churned customers — people who already left. A well-timed win-back sequence brings 8-15% of them back.
Downgrades — not a cancel, but still lost revenue. Catching downgrades early can prevent full churn later.

Why most Stripe retention tools don't work for indie founders

The retention tool market was built for funded startups with customer success teams. Churnkey starts at $250/mo and requires Stripe Connect OAuth — which means your customers see Churnkey's branding during the auth flow. Baremetrics charges based on your MRR, so the price goes up as you grow. ProfitWell got acquired by Paddle and is slowly being sunset.

If you're a solo founder at $5K-$50K MRR, these tools have three problems:

Price — $250/mo for one feature (cancel flows OR dunning OR analytics) when your entire MRR might be $8K.
Complexity — Stripe Connect OAuth, implementation calls, custom integrations. You don't have a dev team to spend a week on this.
Fragmentation — You need one tool for cancel flows (Raaft $79/mo), another for dunning (Stunning $99/mo), another for analytics (Baremetrics $108/mo). That's $286/mo before you've saved a single customer.

How SaveMRR works

SaveMRR takes a different approach. Instead of one expensive tool that does one thing, it runs 5 retention engines from a single Stripe API key:

Engine	What it does	Plan
Revenue Autopsy	Scans 90 days of Stripe data, shows every dollar lost to churn — failed payments, cancels, downgrades	Free
Cancel Shield	JavaScript widget — exit survey + smart offers (discount, pause, call). 42% average save rate	Starter ($19/mo)
Revenue Rescue	Automated failed payment recovery. Plain-text emails from your domain. 55% recovery rate	Starter ($19/mo)
Silent Churn Radar	Detects at-risk customers from Stripe signals + JS login tracking before they cancel	Starter + Growth
Win-Back Autopilot	4-email personalized reactivation sequence over 60 days. 12% win-back rate	Growth ($49/mo)

Setup is a Stripe API key paste. No OAuth, no Stripe Connect, no implementation call. Go to your Stripe Dashboard → Developers → API keys → create a restricted read-only key → paste it into SaveMRR. The Revenue Autopsy runs in 60 seconds. You see the damage before you pay a cent.

Who SaveMRR is built for

SaveMRR is built for indie SaaS founders billing through Stripe at $5K-$50K MRR. Solo founders, small teams, bootstrapped companies. If you're running one or more SaaS products and don't have a dedicated customer success team, SaveMRR is your retention team on autopilot.

The Growth plan supports unlimited Stripe accounts from one dashboard — built for portfolio founders running 3-8 micro-SaaS products. Connect each Stripe account with a label, see aggregate churn data, and run all 5 engines across every product.

The math

If you're at $10K MRR with 7% monthly churn, you're losing $700/mo — $8,400/year. SaveMRR's Cancel Shield saves 42% of voluntary cancels. Revenue Rescue recovers 55% of failed payments. Even conservatively, that's $200-300/mo recovered on a $19/mo tool. The ROI isn't subtle.

And if it doesn't work? If SaveMRR doesn't recover at least $19 in your first 30 days, email us and we'll refund you. That's the guarantee.
