By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Recurly: Best for revenue recovery. Focuses heavily on payment orchestration and dunning tools to minimize churn.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Billing · scale prompt · first choice

“Safer Alternatives (Lower Complaints): Recurly (18/100 risk, strong dunning)” Grok 4.1 Fast · Billing · negative prompt · first choice

“Recurly - Lowest risk score at 18/100 with only 2 documented complaints” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Billing · negative prompt · first choice

“Recurly is subscription billing software that gets you live fast, and for DTC brands and early SaaS teams, it's an easy way to start taking payments” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Billing · budget prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Who should avoid it: Usage-based or hybrid pricing businesses, and companies scaling past ~$500K MRR” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Billing · negative prompt · hard negative

“too expensive for early-stage” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Billing · budget prompt · hard negative

“its catalog flexibility is narrower than Chargebee and complex hybrid pricing may require workarounds” Perplexity Sonar · Billing · negative prompt · soft negative

“High-End Subscription Orchestrators: Chargebee, Recurly, Zuora ... Why you should be cautious” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Billing · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Recurly. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 27 of the 134 answers that named Recurly and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Recurly's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Recurly, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at recurly.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
