Partly. Recurly covers complex plan structures, documenting fixed, tiered, usage-based, ramp, quantity, prepaid and hybrid models. Recurly pricing experiments are the gap: A/B testing lives in Recurly Engage, a separate add-on from $1,600 per month billed annually, scoped to retention prompts rather than plan price tests. Flexprice puts experimentation in the billing engine itself.

Key Takeaways

• Recurly Subscriptions documents fixed, usage-based, ramp, quantity, prepaid and hybrid models, so plan structure is not where it stops.

• A/B testing ships inside Recurly Engage, which starts at $1,600 per month billed annually and is built around cancel-save flows and upsells.

• Recurly Starter costs $249 per month plus 0.9% of billing volume, and advanced plans, pricing and promotions sit on All-Access, which requires $1M in billing volume.

• A revenue-share fee prices growth against you: a test that lifts billing volume raises the platform bill the same month.

• Flexprice runs Pricing Experiments on its $1,000 per month Scale plan, tests rate structures on a subset of customers without code changes, and rolls back instantly.

What plan structures does Recurly actually support?

Recurly documents the models most growth teams need, configured from the catalog rather than built in code.

• Fixed, quantity-based and per-seat plans.

• Usage-based and metered billing, plus hybrid plans pairing a base fee with consumption.

• Ramp pricing, where the rate steps up on a schedule across a multi-year term.

• Prepaid and gift subscriptions, with the Shopify path handled by Recurly Commerce.

• 140+ currencies and 30+ gateways, with ACH through Adyen, GoCardless, Stripe and Check Commerce.

Plan depth isn't where Recurly stops. The constraint is which tier reaches it: advanced plans, pricing and promotions, multicurrency, ACH and SSO all sit on All-Access, which carries a $1M billing volume minimum.

Can growth teams run pricing experiments in Recurly?

Not from the billing catalog directly. Recurly's A/B testing is a documented feature of Recurly Engage, a retention add-on priced from $1,600 per month billed annually and scoped to prompts, offers and cancel-save flows.

• Engage tests which save offer or upsell prompt converts better, measured against churn and recovered revenue.

• Testing a plan's price means creating plan variants, assigning cohorts, then reconciling results outside the billing system.

• Grandfathering subscribers through a price change is plan-object work, so every legacy rate becomes another object somebody maintains.

• Recurly is hosted only and closed source, so nobody can inspect or extend the assignment logic.

How much does Recurly cost for a growth team?

Recurly prices on billing volume with add-ons stacked on top, per recurly.com/pricing on 19 September 2026.

Wanting plan depth and experimentation together lands you on All-Access plus Engage: a $1M volume floor and at least $19,200 a year before the first test ships.
