Valkyrie vs Baremetrics Recover: payment recovery compared
Baremetrics Recover isn't a standalone product, it's a $129/mo add-on that sits on top of a Baremetrics analytics subscription starting at $75/mo. Worth knowing before comparing the sticker price.
What each product is
Valkyrie is a standalone tool: connect Stripe, we find hard-decline failures, we email the customer, you pay 25% of what comes back. Nothing else required.
Baremetrics is primarily a subscription analytics platform (MRR, churn, and revenue dashboards), with Recover sold as an add-on feature on top of any base plan. Baremetrics backs Recover with a guarantee: recover more than your Baremetrics cost, or your next month is free.
| Valkyrie | Baremetrics Recover | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | 25% of recovered revenue only | Flat add-on fee, requires a base plan |
| Recover add-on cost | N/A | +$129/mo on any plan |
| Required base plan | None | Launch plan from $75/mo ($0-360K ARR) |
| Minimum total cost | $0 until something's recovered | $204/mo ($75 base + $129 Recover) |
| Processors supported | Stripe only | Stripe, Braintree, Chargebee, Recurly, plus app stores |
| Guarantee | N/A, you only pay on actual recoveries | "Recover more than your cost or next month free," per their pricing page |
The real cost of a flat fee
Baremetrics' guarantee sounds reassuring, but read it closely: if Recover underperforms, you don't get your money back, you get the next month free. You've still paid $204 for the bad month, on top of an analytics subscription you may not otherwise want. With Valkyrie, a bad month costs you exactly nothing.
The catch with Baremetrics Recover
You can't buy it on its own. You need a Baremetrics analytics plan first, so the real minimum is $204/mo before anything is recovered, and the guarantee waives a future month rather than refunding the one that didn't deliver.
Why Valkyrie wins
A standalone recovery tool with nothing else to buy. No base plan, no add-on, no fixed cost. You pay 25% of what we actually recover, never for what Stripe would have recovered on its own, and you can see your real number in a free 90-day scan first.
