KeepMRR vs ProfitWell Retain: The Ultimate Dunning Showdown

Two different approaches to failed payment recovery. One built for indie hackers, one for enterprise. Here's how they actually stack up.

You're losing 3-9% of your MRR to involuntary churn every month. Credit cards expire, banks flag transactions, customers change payment methods—and suddenly your recurring revenue takes a hit. Both KeepMRR and ProfitWell Retain promise to recover those failed payments, but they take completely different approaches. One charges a flat $49/month with zero revenue cuts. The other starts at $250/month plus takes 5% of every dollar recovered. Which one actually makes sense for your SaaS?
