Reactive Dunning
Proactive + Reactive AI
One platform. Proactive and reactive. We win on better UX and expertise—not more retries or more email volume.
We don't beat ChurnBuster by sending more emails or retrying more. We beat them by improving the experience. As Shopify retention and conversion experts, we tie dunning to your store: payment-update links that land on a seamless flow, on-site banners and account-page prompts when they're already logged in, and retry logic tuned for your shop. Better UX means higher recovery—and greater impact than other churn platforms.
Bonafide (hellobonafide.com) switched from ChurnBuster to MaxLTV in mid-December 2025. Recovery rate climbed within weeks. The result: $1.6M in additional recovered revenue per year, with no extra headcount—AI-powered retry logic, dunning, and store UX tuned for their shop.
Most subscription brands treat failed payments as a cost of doing business. Bonafide turned that into a growth lever. After rolling out MaxLTV—with smarter retries, dunning that drives action on-site and in email, and UX built for their store—recovery improved quickly and stayed on an upward trajectory.
Proof that migrating off ChurnBuster to an AI-first, UX-led retention platform can unlock meaningful revenue.
“Recovery improved immediately after the switch to MaxLTV. No new hires, no campaign overload, no complicated migrations—just smarter logic and a better experience for subscribers.”
Tyler Hill — Manager, Lifecycle Marketing
“MaxLTV is a great tool for churn prevention that is highly customizable to brand's specific needs!”
