The Recurly alternative for billing complexity beyond subscriptions.

Recurly handles standard subscription billing, but mid-market B2B companies quickly hit its limits — hybrid pricing, custom contracts, multi-currency recognition. TailorStack builds billing systems for the revenue model Recurly can’t accommodate.

Why teams leave Recurly

  • Recurly’s pricing templates work for standard subscriptions but break down with hybrid or usage-based models.
  • Revenue share pricing means your billing costs scale directly with your revenue growth.
  • Enterprise contract management — custom terms, scheduled invoicing, manual POs — requires workarounds.
  • Revenue recognition features are basic and don’t cover complex ASC 606 scenarios.
  • Dunning management is template-driven with limited customisation for different customer segments.

What you get instead

Billing built for your actual revenue model, not a subscription template. Hybrid pricing, usage-based billing, and enterprise contracts handled natively. Revenue recognition that matches your compliance requirements. Customisable dunning workflows per customer segment. No revenue share, no per-transaction fees. Built in 5–8 weeks.
