Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about True Proper vs Recharge
How much does Recharge actually cost?
Recharge Standard is $99/month plus 1.25% + 19¢ per transaction. Recharge Pro is $499/month plus 1% + 19¢ per transaction. On $10,000/month in subscription revenue, you're paying $224-624/month just for the subscription functionality.
Is True Proper's subscription feature as powerful as Recharge?
For most subscription businesses, yes. True Proper includes recurring billing, pause/skip, product swaps, prepaid options, customer portal, and dunning management. Recharge has some advanced features for enterprise, but most brands won't need them.
Can I migrate subscriptions from Recharge?
Yes. You can export your subscription data from Recharge and migrate to True Proper. Customer payment methods will need to be re-captured, so we recommend coordinating migration with your billing cycle.
What about Recharge's analytics?
True Proper includes subscription analytics—MRR, churn rate, retention cohorts, and more. Recharge's analytics are good, but you don't need to pay $99+/month for subscription metrics when they're included in your platform.
