The problem

Involuntary churn is silently killing your MRR

40% of all subscription cancellations are involuntary — expired cards, bank declines, insufficient funds. These customers didn't choose to leave. You're just not catching them.

35–45%

of MRR churn is involuntary

Failed payments, not intentional cancellations — automatically recoverable with the right system.

Every failed-payment churn wastes your acquisition spend. Recovering one customer = not needing to acquire another.

72 hrs

recovery window

After 72 hours, customers find alternatives. DunningKit starts the recovery sequence within minutes of the failure.

Platform features

Everything you need to recover revenue

Six interlocking systems that work together — from failure detection to final recovery.

Retry on the right day, not just any day

DunningKit classifies every decline as soft, hard, or SCA — then applies the optimal retry cadence. Weekends skipped automatically. Configurable per campaign.

How it works

From failure to recovery in 4 steps

Connect Stripe once — DunningKit handles the rest automatically, 24/7.

1

Connect Stripe

OAuth in 2 clicks. DunningKit registers webhooks and backfills the last 90 days of failed invoices automatically.

2

Detect & classify

Every failed payment is captured and classified as soft decline, hard decline, or SCA — each with a different recovery strategy.

Instant Stripe webhook processing.

3

AI emails + retries

Gemini AI writes a personalized email. Smart retry is scheduled on the next business day. Sequences run automatically.

3 subject variants. A/B tested.

4

Payment recovered

Founders recovering real revenue

DunningKit recovered $2,100 in the first week alone. The AI emails are scary good — way better than anything I'd write at 2am.

Worth it at 10× the price. The campaign builder is surprisingly powerful and the Slack notifications make my day every time a payment recovers.
