Reecova

Quick update from a few months of building in public.

Reecova (the free Stripe revenue-leak scanner I shared here in April) is now approved and published on the Stripe App Marketplace as io.reecova.app.

For anyone who hasn't seen it: SaaS businesses quietly lose 5-9% of MRR to failed Stripe payments (expired cards, insufficient funds, bank declines). There are usually no alerts and no dollar total anywhere, so it goes unnoticed for months. Reecova detects those failures in real time and recovers the revenue with an adaptive retry engine and automated dunning.

What being on the Marketplace changes:

- You install straight from Stripe with read-only OAuth, no API keys to paste.

- Stripe reviewed the app and its permissions, so the trust bar is Stripe's, not just mine.

- The free 90-day scanner still needs no signup and no subscription: reecova.io/scanner

Where I'm at, honestly: solo founder, bootstrapped, pre-revenue, just cleared the Marketplace review. Now focused on getting it in front of SaaS teams leaking revenue without knowing it.

Two things I'd love feedback on:

- If you run on Stripe, would "install from the Stripe Marketplace" make you more likely to try it than a standalone OAuth connect?

- What would you want to see in a scan result to trust the number?

Happy to get into the Marketplace review process, the retry logic, or the business model. Building in public.

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.
