Failed payment recovery tools

These tools help merchants recover failed payments through retries, dunning emails, SMS, and chargeback settlement, with a focus on subscription and e-commerce churn reduction. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only three dated entries exist before the index start, so it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders by activity signal are Recover, CoralSync, and Recoverly, each showing 0 stars.
