# Revenudge

> Stripe-native pre-dunning and payment recovery for indie SaaS founders. Catches expiring credit cards 7 days before Stripe's automatic renewal fails, and replaces Stripe's default dunning emails with branded recovery sequences. Built for founders running $1K to $100K MRR who want recovery without enterprise pricing ($19-79/mo flat, no percentage of recovered revenue).

Revenudge connects to Stripe via Stripe Connect OAuth, reads upcoming subscription renewals plus card expiration metadata, and triggers two flows:

1. **Pre-dunning**: emails customers 7 days before a card on file is set to expire, prompting them to update via Stripe's Customer Portal. This prevents the payment failure entirely. Industry data shows 30-50% of involuntary churn is preventable this way.
2. **Recovery sequences**: when a payment does fail, branded emails (using the founder's logo + colors) replace Stripe's plain default emails. Standard cadence: Day 1, Day 3, Day 7. Customers update card or churn cleanly; founders see recovered MRR in dashboard.

Revenudge is **not** trying to replace Stripe Smart Retries (the ML-based retry layer). It sits alongside, adding pre-dunning detection + branded emails Stripe doesn't provide.

## Pricing

- **Starter $19/mo**: up to $1K MRR tracked, 1 Stripe account, pre-dunning + branded emails + Customer Portal integration
