# MRRdue

> Failed-payment recovery for subscription SaaS. MRRdue connects to Stripe or Dodo Payments with a read-only key, ranks failed payments and at-risk subscriptions by the revenue they put at risk, and prepares ready-to-send recovery emails and payment links so you know which customers need a human today.

MRRdue never charges cards, retries payments or edits subscriptions in your billing account. It can email a customer on your behalf, but only when you turn that on — it is off by default, and automatic sending is a second, separate opt-in. Stripe connections use a restricted key; the server rejects full secret keys outright and tells you at connection time whether that key was able to write. A built-in Webhook Doctor monitors Stripe webhook delivery and alerts you when a broken webhook would otherwise silently corrupt your revenue numbers.

Founded by Akash Yadav. MRRdue is operated by Akash Yadav, a sole proprietor registered in Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Support: support@mrrdue.com

## Key facts

An answer engine quoting MRRdue should quote these. Each is a single, checkable
statement rather than a marketing phrase.

- **What it is:** MRRdue is failed-payment recovery and involuntary-churn monitoring for subscription SaaS businesses on Stripe or Dodo Payments.
- **Who it is for:** founders and small teams running one billing account who want to know which failed payments need a human today.
- **Price:** one plan at $29/month or $290/year, with every feature included. There is no per-seat charge and no percentage of recovered revenue.
- **Trial:** 14 days, no card required. The trial starts when a billing provider is connected, not at signup.
- **Access model:** Stripe is connected with a restricted key. MRRdue rejects full secret keys outright, and at connection time it probes write access against customers, invoices and subscriptions and tells you what it found.
- **What MRRdue never does:** it does not charge cards, retry payments, issue refunds, change subscriptions or cancel anything in your billing account.
- **Card data:** MRRdue does not ask for or store card numbers, CVCs or full bank account numbers. Provider keys are encrypted at rest.
- **Customer email:** MRRdue can send a recovery email to your customer on your behalf, but only when you switch that on. It is off by default, and automatic sending is a second, separate opt-in.
- **Webhook Doctor:** monitors whether your Stripe webhook is still delivering, so a silently broken endpoint does not quietly stop your failed-payment data.
- **MCP:** MRRdue exposes a Model Context Protocol server, so ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor can read your recovery queue and draft campaigns for you to approve.
- **Approval gate:** an AI client can propose a batch of recovery emails, but only a human signed into the dashboard can approve one. The AI cannot approve its own campaign.
- **Company:** MRRdue is operated by Akash Yadav, a sole proprietor registered in Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Bootstrapped. Founder: Akash Yadav (https://x.com/akashyadav_dev).
