Valkyrie is a failed payment recovery service built specifically for Stripe subscription businesses. When a customer's payment fails, Stripe's built-in Smart Retries handle some of it automatically. But hard declines like expired cards, lost cards, wrong card numbers need the customer to actually update their payment method. That gap is where subscription revenue quietly disappears every month.
Valkyrie identifies every failed payment in your Stripe account, classifies each one, and sends a branded sequence of up to four recovery emails to your customers asking them to update their card. The sequence runs over 14 days and stops the moment a card is updated. You never pay for what Stripe already recovers on its own, Valkyrie only charges on the lift above Stripe's baseline.
The pricing model is simple: 25% of what Valkyrie actually recovers, after a 7-day hold to confirm each recovery stuck. No platform fee. No monthly minimum. No charge if nothing is recovered. Invoices go out monthly, covering all recoveries from the previous month.
Getting started takes 60 seconds. Connect your Stripe account via OAuth, and Valkyrie immediately shows you a breakdown of your last 90 days: total failed payments, what Stripe already recovered on its own, and what is genuinely recoverable with outreach. This analysis is completely free with no card required. You only pay if you choose to activate recovery and Valkyrie finds money.
Every recovery is fully traceable. The dashboard shows each failed payment, the email sequence sent, when the customer updated their card, and the exact fee charged. Nothing is bundled or hidden. Valkyrie never moves money, never changes Stripe account settings, and access can be revoked from the Stripe dashboard at any time.
Valkyrie is built for subscription businesses doing between $5,000 and $500,000 in monthly recurring revenue who want a transparent, low-risk way to recover revenue they are already losing.
Valkyrie
SlickerValkyrie's answer
Founders and operators running subscription businesses on Stripe with monthly recurring revenue between $5,000 and $500,000. Typically bootstrapped or early-stage, managing billing themselves without a dedicated finance team, and losing 5-8% of MRR to failed payments without knowing it.
Valkyrie's answer
Valkyrie only charges on the lift above what Stripe already recovers for free. Most recovery tools take credit for Stripe's own automatic retries. We show you exactly what Stripe did versus what we found, and only bill on the difference. Free analysis before you commit to anything.
Valkyrie's answer
Most recovery tools charge a monthly platform fee regardless of results, and count Stripe's own automatic recoveries as their wins. Valkyrie charges nothing unless it recovers money above what Stripe already does for free. You can connect your Stripe account and see your exact recoverable amount before paying anything. No demo call, no sales process, no minimum commitment. 25% of what we find, nothing else.
Valkyrie's answer
Valkyrie was built by Bruce O'Toole, a finance and operations professional who kept seeing the same problem: subscription businesses carefully managing their revenue while quietly losing 5-8% of MRR to failed payments nobody was chasing. Stripe recovers some automatically. The rest just disappears. Valkyrie was built to chase the rest, with full transparency on every dollar and a pricing model that only works if the merchant wins first.
