Get subscription support & more with OpenPay
Dont limit yourself to basic payment orchestration that lacks subscription support—like Spreedly. Switch to OpenPay and tap into our complete toolkit for subscription management, optimization, and analytics, all in one done-for-you platform.
Spreedly handles payments. OpenPay powers growth.
Spreedly works well for payment orchestration, but when it comes to managing SaaS subscriptions, its not enough. Todays businesses need more than a payment router—they need a platform that optimizes billing, reduces churn, and drives sustainable growth.
Weve seen it happen: SaaS teams get stuck piecing together multiple tools on top of Spreedly, managing complex integrations and struggling with limited analytics. Without built-in subscription management, dunning, or smart revenue tools, youre left doing the heavy lifting manually. And as costs rise, Spreedly starts to feel more like a roadblock than a solution.
If youre okay with juggling extra platforms just to fill in the gaps, Spreedly might still work. But if youre ready for a solution that combines seamless payments, flexible billing, AI-powered retention tools, and smart payment routing—OpenPay is built to help you scale without the hassle.
Why choose OpenPay over Spreedly?
If youre a SaaS business relying on Spreedly, you might be missing out on essential subscription support. Its time to switch to OpenPay. Say goodbye to juggling multiple tools and get everything you need in one platform —smart payment routing, AI-driven retention flows, and real-time subscription insights. Scale with greater control, less hassle, and all the flexibility you deserve.
Make payments more successful with AI
OpenPay: Our AI-driven smart routing picks the best payment processor every time, which means more approvals, fewer fees, and zero headaches.

Spreedly: You might find yourself struggling with fragmented data and limited insights, making it difficult to monitor essential growth, conversion, and retention metrics effectively. Without a unified view, scaling your business becomes a guessing game.
Checkout that converts, every time

Spreedly: Your checkout processes may feel rigid and uninspired, hindering your ability to engage customers effectively. Without the flexibility to tailor your checkout flows, you risk losing potential conversions and creating friction that drives users away
AI-powered retention flows on autopilot
OpenPay: Find AI-driven dunning, upsells, cross-sells, and win-back flows directly in the OpenPay platform. Automated flows engage customers at the right time, helping you recover revenue, extend customer lifecycles, and boost LTV without lifting a finger.
