FlyCode pricing and what a share of recovered revenue costs you
FlyCode does not publish a price list. Its pricing page says it charges only for the revenue it recovers above your baseline, with no seats, no minimums and no setup fees, and it lists a free payment audit and a 45 day money-back guarantee. The percentage is not stated anywhere on the page, so the real cost depends on the quote you get and on how "baseline" is defined in your contract.
Below is what is public, what to ask before signing and how an outcome-based fee compares with a flat monthly price at your revenue.
What FlyCode publishes about its pricing
These points come from the FlyCode pricing page. Vendor terms change, so confirm them on their site before you decide.
| Item | What FlyCode states |
|---|---|
| Pricing model | Outcome-based, charged on revenue recovered above your baseline |
| Fee percentage | Not published |
| Seats, minimums, setup fees | None |
| Plans | No tiers or prices listed, all plans share one feature list |
| Trial | No free trial listed, a free payment audit instead |
| Guarantee | 45 days money-back |
| Support | Phone, Slack or email |
Some directory sites list a flat monthly figure for FlyCode. Treat those with caution: they do not match the outcome-based model on the vendor's own page, and G2 itself says the vendor has not provided pricing.
How the baseline decides your real bill
Under a commission model the rate is only half the price. The other half is the baseline, the amount your billing platform would have recovered on its own through its built-in retries. You pay only on what lands above it. A low baseline means you pay on payments your platform would have collected anyway. A high one means you pay on less, but the vendor has little reason to agree to it.
Ask for these in writing before you sign:
- The exact percentage, and whether it changes as recovered volume grows.
- How the baseline is measured, over which months, and whether it is reset each year.
- Whether a payment the customer fixed themselves after a platform email still counts as recovered.
- What happens to fees if a recovered payment is later refunded or disputed.
- Whether you can read the same payments in your own processor reports, not just in the vendor dashboard.
What a commission looks like at your revenue
The percentage is unknown, so the table uses round example rates to show the shape of the cost. They are not FlyCode quotes.
| Recovered above baseline per month | Fee at 10 percent | Fee at 20 percent | Fee at 30 percent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 USD | 100 USD | 200 USD | 300 USD |
| 5,000 USD | 500 USD | 1,000 USD | 1,500 USD |
| 20,000 USD | 2,000 USD | 4,000 USD | 6,000 USD |
A commission scales with success, which is its strength: you pay nothing in a month where nothing is recovered. It is also its weak point, since the fee grows exactly as the recovered amount grows, and the better the tool works the more you pay for the same work.
A flat fee recovery option next to the commission
RevenueLeak includes failed payment recovery in every plan at a fixed price. Starter covers MRR up to 10,000 USD at 24 USD per month billed yearly, or 49 USD billed monthly. Growth covers MRR up to 100,000 USD at 149 USD per month billed yearly. Scale covers MRR up to 1,000,000 USD at 399 USD per month billed yearly. The price does not change with how much is recovered.
Recovery reads each decline code. Soft declines keep your billing platform's retries, hard declines go straight to a card update request, and cards expiring within 90 days get a request before renewal. The method is on failed payment recovery, and every plan is on the revenue optimization software pricing page.
Where FlyCode is stronger: it is a managed, outcome-based service with custom recovery schedules and phone or Slack support, and you carry no fixed cost in a quiet month. If you want someone else to run recovery and you are happy to share the upside, that trade can make sense. If you want to see the numbers yourself and keep the whole recovery, a flat price is simpler. Other tools are compared on best dunning management software.
What a recovery tool never sees
Failed payment recovery, on any pricing model, only acts when a charge fails. Revenue also leaks while every invoice is marked paid: customers renewing at a price from three years ago, seats added and never invoiced, coupons set to forever, comped accounts never moved back to paid. None of these create a failed payment, so a recovery vendor cannot find them or be paid for them. The revenue leakage examples article shows what each looks like in billing data, and the revenue leakage audit prices them in dollars.
How to check a recovery vendor's numbers
Whichever model you choose, test the claims against money, not dashboards. Take one month of payments the vendor says it recovered and match each one to a payout from your processor. If your finance team already uses reconciliation software for payouts and invoices, that match takes an afternoon. A vendor whose numbers survive it is worth renewing. One whose numbers do not should not be paid a percentage of them.
1. Run the estimate on our home page with your MRR, customer count and billing system. It runs without an account.
2. Split the result into failed payments, cancellations and leaks that never fail.
3. If failed payments dominate and you want a fixed cost, connect read-only and get the first audit.
4. If you want a managed service on commission, ask FlyCode for the percentage and the baseline definition first.
Questions about FlyCode pricing
How much does FlyCode cost?
FlyCode does not list a price. Its pricing page says it charges only for revenue recovered above your baseline, with no seats, minimums or setup fees. The percentage is not published, so you need a quote. Some directories show a flat monthly figure, but that does not match the vendor's own description.
Does FlyCode charge a percentage of recovered revenue?
Yes in structure, though not in published numbers. The fee is tied to extra revenue recovered above a baseline. FlyCode states a target return of 10 times on monthly recovery, but a target is not a rate. Ask for the exact percentage and the baseline definition in writing.
Does FlyCode have a free trial?
No free trial is listed. The pricing page offers a free payment audit and a 45 day money-back guarantee instead. Check what the guarantee covers, for example whether it refunds fees already charged on recovered payments.
Is FlyCode cheaper than a flat fee tool?
It depends on volume. At low recovered revenue a commission costs less than a monthly subscription. As recovered revenue grows, the fee grows with it, and a flat price such as 149 USD per month for MRR up to 100,000 USD can come out lower. Compare using your own recovered amount.
What is a cheaper alternative to FlyCode?
RevenueLeak includes failed payment recovery from 24 USD per month billed yearly and also audits pricing, discount and refund leaks. FlyCode is stronger as a managed service with phone and Slack support, so the right choice depends on whether you want a hands-off vendor or a fixed price you control.
