I built a free Stripe revenue leak scanner — most SaaS founders don’t realize what they’re losing

Hey IH — I’m Benedict, solo founder building Reecova (reecova.io), revenue infrastructure for SaaS.

There’s a problem almost no one talks about:

Most SaaS founders obsess over acquisition and voluntary churn.

But there’s a silent killer hiding in plain sight — involuntary churn.

Failed payments from expired cards, insufficient funds, or bank declines quietly drain 5–9% of MRR every month.

No alerts. No visibility. Just… gone.

A friend’s SaaS was losing ~$4k/month from failed Stripe charges.

He didn’t notice for 6 months.

That’s $24k gone — not from churn, not from bad product — just failed payments.

And he’s not an outlier.

I kept hearing the same story from other founders.

So I built Reecova.

I started simple:

A free Stripe scanner that connects via read-only OAuth (auto-revokes after 30 seconds) and shows exactly how much revenue you’re leaking.

→ Try it: reecova.io/scanner

Takes 30 seconds. No signup. No data stored.

What the full product does:

Real-time failed payment detection (instant alerts via email, Slack, webhooks)

Smart retry engine (retries based on failure reason — e.g. timing retries for “insufficient funds”)

Automated dunning emails (4-step recovery sequence)

Daily revenue digest (MRR, churn, recovery metrics)

Dashboard with trends, failure breakdowns, and recovered revenue

Where I’m at:

Live in production

Solo founder, bootstrapped

Just launched this month

Pre-revenue

Pricing:

$49.99/month + 10% of recovered revenue

14-day free trial — no credit card required

You only pay the % on revenue actually recovered.

I’d love your honest feedback:

Would you trust a tool that connects to your Stripe via OAuth? What would make it feel safer?

Is this pricing fair, or would you prefer flat-rate only?

What’s the one thing that would make you try the scanner right now?

Happy to answer anything — product, business model, or lessons learned.
