FlyCode Pricing and What Outcome-Based Recovery Costs
By RevRescue team · · 8 min read
Estimate what failed payments cost you each month
Two numbers, no signup and no billing access needed.
FlyCode pricing is outcome-based. FlyCode charges only for the revenue it recovers above your baseline, with no seats, no minimums and no setup fees, and it backs that with a 45 day money-back guarantee. It does not publish a percentage or a price list, so the actual rate comes from a sales quote after a free payment audit of your Stripe account.
That makes FlyCode easy to start and hard to budget. Below is what the vendor says on its own pricing and product pages, the questions that decide your real bill, and what a share of recovered revenue adds up to at different MRR sizes next to a flat fee tool.
What FlyCode publishes about its pricing
FlyCode keeps every product under one pricing model, so there is no separate fee for retries, outreach or its newer agent features. Here is what the vendor states and what it leaves out.
| Item | What FlyCode says | What is not published |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Outcome-based, charged only on revenue recovered above your baseline | The percentage you pay |
| Seats, minimums, setup | None | Whether a minimum applies after a trial period |
| Guarantee | 45 day money-back guarantee | What counts as a failed outcome |
| Free entry point | Free payment audit when you install the Stripe app | How long the audit takes to turn into a quote |
| Included in every plan | Custom recovery schedules, payment experts on phone, Slack and email | Named plans or tiers |
| ROI claim | About 10x on monthly recovery and 20x on net new revenue | The data behind the multiple |
Third-party listings do not fill the gap. G2 shows no pricing for FlyCode and points you to the vendor. Several directories confuse it with an unrelated FlyCode developer tool, so be careful with any "FlyCode pricing" figure you find outside flycode.com.
One clue to who FlyCode is built for: the revenue slider on its pricing page starts at 5M USD of annual revenue and runs to 1B USD. A SaaS company at 40,000 USD MRR is about 480,000 USD a year, which sits below the bottom of that slider.
How the baseline decides your bill
With any pay-on-results deal, the percentage gets the attention and the baseline decides the invoice. FlyCode charges on revenue it recovers above what you were already recovering, usually with Stripe's built-in Smart Retries and emails. Before you sign, get written answers to these:
- What period sets the baseline? A baseline taken from a bad quarter makes every later month look like a win.
- Is it a recovery rate or a dollar amount? A fixed dollar baseline gets easier to beat every month you grow. A rate stays fair as volume changes.
- Is a recovered subscription billed once or every month it stays? If the fee follows the customer's later payments, the real cost is several times the first invoice.
- What happens when Stripe improves its own retries? Stripe updates Smart Retries over time. You should not pay a share of gains Stripe would have delivered anyway.
- How do you leave? Ask about notice periods and whether fees continue on customers recovered before you cancel.
None of these are traps on FlyCode's side in particular. They apply to every revenue share recovery vendor, and the answers change the cost more than the headline rate does.
What a revenue share may cost at your MRR
Because FlyCode does not publish its rate, the table below uses two illustrative shares, 10 and 20 percent of the extra revenue recovered each month. FlyCode's own claim of about 10x ROI on monthly recovery would put the fee near the lower figure. The assumptions are simple: 6 percent of MRR fails each month, and the tool recovers an extra quarter of those failed charges above your Stripe baseline. Your numbers will differ, so treat this as a way to read a quote, not as FlyCode's price.
| Your MRR | Failed each month | Extra recovered | Fee at 10% | Fee at 20% | RevRescue flat fee, monthly | RevRescue, billed yearly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $30,000 | $1,800 | $450 | $45 | $90 | $99 Starter | $49 a month |
| $100,000 | $6,000 | $1,500 | $150 | $300 | $299 Growth | $149 a month |
| $250,000 | $15,000 | $3,750 | $375 | $750 | $299 Growth | $149 a month |
| $600,000 | $36,000 | $9,000 | $900 | $1,800 | $799 Scale | $399 a month |
Two things stand out. At 30,000 USD MRR a revenue share is the cheaper option, which is the honest answer for small accounts. From around 100,000 USD MRR the flat fee wins, and the gap widens every time you grow, because a share keeps rising with recovered dollars while a flat fee stays put inside its band.
The table also counts each recovered charge once. If a quote charges a share on every later month a saved customer pays, multiply the fee columns by the number of months that applies.
What you get for the fee
Price only means something next to the product. Based on FlyCode's product pages, the fee covers:
- Retries. Machine learning retry schedules per issuer, trial-to-paid recovery and retries on other valid cards a customer has on file.
- Outreach. Branded recovery emails and SMS coordinated with the retries, plus win-back campaigns for customers who already churned.
- Prioritization. Failed invoices ranked by ARR, lifetime value and tenure, with longer recovery windows for high-value customers.
- Billing coverage. Stripe, plus ecommerce subscription apps such as Recharge, Skio and Stay AI and other billing platforms, with a payment orchestration agent for teams that run several processors.
That breadth is a real strength if you run a consumer subscription brand on an ecommerce subscription app or bill across more than one system. For a SaaS company billing only on Stripe, a good part of it goes unused, and you still pay the share.
When a flat fee tool costs less
A flat fee makes more sense than a revenue share when three things are true. You bill on Stripe only, your failed payments already run into several thousand dollars a month, and you expect MRR to keep growing. Then every extra dollar you recover inside your plan's band stays with you.
RevRescue is built for that case. Starter is 99 USD a month up to 50,000 USD MRR, Growth is 299 USD up to 250,000 USD MRR, and Scale is 799 USD up to 1M USD MRR, each at half price when billed yearly. Every plan includes retries timed by decline code and likely payday, a card update page, expiring card reminders and the Revenue at Risk dashboard, and Growth adds SMS with consent, in-app banners and a hand-off queue for high-value accounts. The full list is on our pricing page, and the feature by feature comparison is on our FlyCode alternative page.
What RevRescue does not do is just as important. It does not retry backup cards on file, it connects to Stripe only, and it does not support ecommerce subscription apps such as Recharge or Skio. If those matter to you, FlyCode's breadth is worth paying for.
A quick way to compare quotes
Put any quote into the same twelve month view before you decide:
- Take your failed payments for the last three months from Stripe and average them.
- Estimate the extra share a tool could recover above what Stripe already brings back. Our smart payment retries page explains where that extra usually comes from.
- Multiply by the quoted percentage, then by twelve, and add any later-month fees from the baseline answers above.
- Compare that with a flat plan at your MRR band, monthly and yearly.
- Raise your MRR by your growth target and run it again, because that is the year you will actually be paying for.
The result matters beyond the recovery budget. Recurring revenue you keep and the fees you pay to keep it both flow into margin, and margin is what drives what your SaaS business is worth when you raise money or sell. A fee that quietly scales with revenue lowers that number every year.

Other pricing pages worth reading
If you are comparing several vendors at once, our Churn Buster pricing and Baremetrics Recover pricing breakdowns use the same MRR based tables, so the numbers line up. If your current setup is Stripe's built-in retries alone, the Stripe Smart Retries alternative page shows what changes when you hand retries to a dedicated tool.
FlyCode pricing questions
How much does FlyCode cost per month?
FlyCode does not list a monthly price. It charges a share of the revenue it recovers above your baseline, so your monthly bill moves with your failed payments and recoveries. The rate comes from a quote after a free payment audit of your Stripe account, with no seats, minimums or setup fees.
Does FlyCode have a free trial?
FlyCode does not advertise a free trial. It offers a free payment audit when you install its Stripe app and a 45 day money-back guarantee once you start. Because fees apply only to recovered revenue above your baseline, the first weeks cost little if recovery does not improve.
Is FlyCode worth it for a small SaaS company?
It can be, because a revenue share costs very little when failed payments are small. A company at 30,000 USD MRR might pay well under 100 USD a month. The catch is that the product and its pricing slider are aimed at much larger businesses, and the fee grows as you do.
What is the difference between outcome-based and flat pricing for dunning software?
Outcome-based pricing charges a share of the money the tool recovers, so it scales with your volume. Flat pricing charges a fixed fee by MRR band, so the cost stays the same while recovery grows. Small accounts usually pay less on outcome-based deals, and growing accounts usually pay less on flat fees.
What is a good alternative to FlyCode for Stripe?
For a SaaS company billing on Stripe that wants a published price, RevRescue starts at 99 USD a month with retries by decline code, card update outreach and high-value hand-off. Churn Buster charges a flat fee set by MRR and Churnkey prices in tiers by churn volume, both at higher price points. Ecommerce brands billing through Recharge or Skio should stay with a tool that supports them.
