A CancelFlow alternative for small Stripe SaaS
A month with no saves costs $0. On a $29 plan, one save costs $5.80 and four cost $23.20, less than CancelFlow's $25 Pro (its plans run $9, $25 and $59 a month). Stayput charges a 20% share of each saved subscriber's first renewal and nothing else, and it reads the words each subscriber types to choose the offer.
What CancelFlow charges
From CancelFlow's pricing section, read on 6 Nov 2026:
| Plan | Price | Embeds | Cancellation requests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $9 a month | 1 | 30 per embed |
| Pro | $25 a month | 5 | 100 per embed |
| Unlimited | $59 a month | Unlimited | Unlimited per embed |
The page lists a 14-day free trial and cancel anytime. All offer types, cancel-reason collection, MRR-saved tracking and an email on each save are on Starter; the save-rate breakdown by offer type, weekly email digest and removal of CancelFlow branding start on Pro; advanced offer rules, webhooks to your own endpoints, priority support and an uptime SLA are on Unlimited.
What a month of saves costs next to each CancelFlow plan
A 20% share of a saved subscriber's first renewal is a fixed amount per save. Divide each CancelFlow plan by it for the number of saves a month at which the flat fee becomes the cheaper one.
| Your plan price | 20% of one renewal | Saves a month at which the $9 plan is cheaper | Saves at which $25 is cheaper | Saves at which $59 is cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $19 | $3.80 | 3 (2 saves cost $7.60) | 7 (6 saves cost $22.80) | 16 (15 saves cost $57.00) |
| $29 | $5.80 | 2 (1 save costs $5.80) | 5 (4 saves cost $23.20) | 11 (10 saves cost $58.00) |
| $49 | $9.80 | 1 (a single save costs $9.80) | 3 (2 saves cost $19.60) | 7 (6 saves cost $58.80) |
If your cancel volume is small or you don't know it yet, you pay only for the subscribers who stay; the table shows where each flat plan starts to cost less than saves, so you can check it against your own numbers.
Your own numbers decide it. The 90-second sample cancel session lets you play the subscriber and shows the Stripe change for each outcome.
How each one decides the offer
CancelFlow's page describes rules you set in its dashboard, plus inferred rules in its plan lists: bigger discounts for loyal customers, a pause for newer ones, with a single script tag on your pages and a CancelFlow.trigger() call that takes the Stripe subscription ID. Its docs ask you to resolve that ID on your server before calling trigger().
Stayput reads the reason a subscriber picks and the free text they type, then chooses the offer, the wording and the moment for that one person: a pause, a discount, a downgrade, or no offer at all. The limits are enforced before the subscriber sees the offer (the largest discount, the longest pause, no offer in a subscriber's first month): a decision outside them is rejected. “Cancel anyway” is always one click away.
Which fits you
- CancelFlow fits when you want to set the rules yourself, a bill you can predict to the dollar, and enough cancel attempts that a $9 to $59 fee is small next to what the flow saves.
- Stayput fits when you are on Stripe, get tens of cancel attempts a month, are not sure how many the flow will save, and would rather pay for saved subscribers than for a plan.
Whichever you pick, ask what counts as a save. Stripe's own definition is an accepted offer and a customer still subscribed 7 days later; see what counts as a save.
