Where dunning stops, we start

Dunning is great for week 1. Here is what happens on week 12.

Voice changes everything

After 90 days, email open rates drop below 5%. A phone call has a 65%+ connect rate. AgentCollect's AI agents call debtors, have real conversations, handle objections, and negotiate payment plans in real time.

Handles the messy cases

"This invoice is wrong." "We never received the product." "Talk to our AP department." Dunning software cannot handle any of these. AgentCollect's AI resolves disputes, finds the right contact, and follows up until it is resolved.

You only pay when it works

Dunning tools charge $299-999/month whether they recover anything or not. AgentCollect charges zero until money hits your account. If we do not collect, you pay nothing. Ever.

When dunning software makes sense

  • You are a SaaS company with high-volume, low-value failed card transactions
  • Most of your churn is involuntary (expired cards, insufficient funds)
  • Accounts are less than 30 days past due and a simple email reminder suffices
  • You have a card-on-file model and just need smart card retries

When AgentCollect is better

  • Accounts are 60+ days past due and emails have stopped working
  • Invoice amounts are $500+ and worth a phone call to recover
  • Debtors have disputes, questions, or need payment plan negotiations
  • You are writing off accounts that dunning already failed on
  • You need B2B invoice collection, not just subscription payment recovery
