Recurly

Recurly is a leading subscription billing and revenue management platform that powers thousands of innovative companies across digital media, streaming, publishing, SaaS, education, consumer goods, and professional services industries. Founded in September 2009 by Isaac Hall, Dan Burkhart, and Tim Van Loan, Recurly emerged from Hall's observation that recurring billing was a fundamental problem many businesses couldn't solve effectively.

From its founding in an apartment to becoming an industry leader, Recurly has grown to process $15 billion in annual payment volume and support over 140 currencies, powering approximately 100 million active subscribers. The platform recovered $1.3 billion in customer revenues in 2024 through advanced revenue recovery tools. Notable customers include category-defining companies like Sling, Twitch, BarkBox, FabFitFun, Paramount, Lucid, and Sprout Social.

Recurly provides comprehensive solutions for subscription management, payment optimization, billing and accounting, subscriber retention, security and compliance, analytics and insights, and revenue optimization. The company has raised $39.2 million in total funding and continues to innovate with AI-driven capabilities. In 2024, Recurly underwent significant leadership transformation with the appointment of Joe Rohrlich as CEO, who previously led Top Hat and drove tenfold revenue growth at Bazaarvoice over his 11-year tenure.

Recurly's mission centers on empowering businesses to build and scale sustainable subscription businesses through intelligent automation, actionable insights, and seamless integrations. The company's 2024 innovations include Recurly Compass, an AI-driven suite offering personalized insights, and strategic acquisitions of Shopify-first subscription platform Prive and subscriber engagement tool Redfast, making Recurly the first subscription management suite to fully integrate billing, payments, analytics, real-time subscriber engagement, and ecommerce subscriptions.
