COMPARISON

Mendworthy vs Stunning

Both ship the same core recovery features. The difference is the model: Stunning prices by MRR and bundles extra billing tools; Mendworthy stays flat-fee and recovery-focused, with holdout lift measurement built in.

Which one fits

Both products recover failed Stripe payments. The right pick depends on scope, pricing predictability, and how much you care about lift measurement.

Pick Mendworthy if

  • You want flat pricing that stays the same as your MRR grows.
  • You care about holdout-group lift measurement from day one.
  • You want a modern dashboard with real-time recovery state.
  • You're Stripe-only and don't need Foxy/Subbly support.

Pick Stunning if

  • A long market track record is what you weight most in a vendor.
  • You're also on Foxy or Subbly (Stunning supports those alongside Stripe).
  • Your MRR is small enough that their slider-priced floor is the cheaper option.
  • Pre-failure and welcome-email sequences matter to you.

The holdout-measured difference

Live lift chart on every dashboard. Control cohort gets no outreach; test cohort gets the full sequence. The gap is the recovery you actually drove.

Scope, honestly

We're not trying to win every row. Some things Stunning does that we deliberately don't — and vice versa.

What Stunning does that we don't

  • Pre-failure and welcome emails alongside recovery sequences.
  • Subscription management portal for end-customers.
  • Cancellation and reactivation workflows.
  • Foxy and Subbly integrations in addition to Stripe.
  • Track record — has been recovering failed payments for over a decade.

What we do that Stunning doesn't

  • Holdout-group lift measurement built in — control vs test cohorts from day one.
  • Magic-link card update on your own domain (Scale tier).
  • Flat-fee pricing that stays the same regardless of your MRR.
  • Modern dashboard with real-time recovery state and lift charts.

Switching from Stunning

  • Both tools connect to Stripe via OAuth — no data migration step.
  • Disconnect Stunning's Stripe access, then connect Mendworthy. Recent failures — and every new one — flow through our sequence instead of theirs.
  • Customer data stays in Stripe. Neither tool stores card numbers.
  • Pre-failure emails and the subscription portal don't migrate because we don't run them. If you depend on either, keep Stunning for that piece and route only the post-failure recovery layer through us.
