The widget integrates with Stripe, Paddle, Dodo Payments, and Lemon Squeezy, and is intended to work with most billing platforms.

Full Description ▼

Instead of waiting for monthly churn reports, ReStay automates retention interventions in real time. It can present targeted save offers, such as discounts or alternative plans, and collect exit insights to explain why users are leaving. The platform also supports win-back sequences and sends real-time Slack alerts when a customer initiates cancellation, helping founders respond quickly to revenue leaks.

According to the product website, ReStay can recover 15–30% of cancellations, with up to 38% recovery in some cases. The service is currently in beta and offers a free tier to get started, with paid pricing for ongoing use. It is positioned as a lightweight, fast-to-install solution for early-stage SaaS teams that want to reduce churn without building complex retention infrastructure.
