Today is another exciting day for Recurly.  After two months of running a private beta, we’re opening up the sign-up to everyone.  With the help of our initial beta companies, we improved the user experience, expanded our payment gateway support, re-evaluated our pricing, and processed thousands of transactions.

Thanks to everyone who submitted feedback during our private beta.  And if you didn’t make it into our private beta, thanks for waiting–we’re ready for you now.

Pricing

During our private beta, we heard from all of you about our pricing.  Our percentage pricing works great for companies with lots of small transactions.  However, several companies with larger subscriptions fees and fewer accounts expressed concerns about the predictability of Recurly’s pricing.  So today we’re adding a new pricing option based on the number of your active subscribers.  At the end of the month, Recurly will calculate the percentage fee and the flat fee based on the number of active subscribers — you will only be charged the best price.  There’s no need for you to decide which tier or pricing scheme to use.  Please see our updated pricing page (http://recurly NULL.com/pricing/) for more information.

Remember, our pricing is based on the number of active subscribers — not the number of accounts.  We want to know about all of your users so we can provide statistics about your free vs paid accounts.  And by tracking your free users in Recurly, you can easily service their accounts from our interface.

International Payment Gateway Support

Recurly supports 11 payment gateways today, and that list continues to grow.  With our broad gateway supports, Recurly works with companies across the globe.  If you’re curious if we support your preferred gateway, please see our full list of supported payment gateways (http://support NULL.recurly NULL.com/faqs/payment-gateways/payment-gateway-support).
