Find what's leaking from
your Stripe
Stripe shows you MRR. Verilabs Audit finds what's hiding behind it — repeat-card refund abuse, disputes filed late or won just before the customer left, duplicate charges, and subscriptions still active but earning nothing.
Real losses indie SaaS founders posted on r/SaaS this year — paraphrased
Sold 340 lifetime deals for $149 each. 18 months later I regret every one. LTD customers submit 3× more tickets than monthly subscribers. My NPS among LTD customers: 12. Among monthly subscribers: 54.
r/SaaS · December 2025
Let a customer prepay for a year at a discount. They disputed the charge 11 months later. Lost $2,900 and the customer. Stripe's chargeback process is not designed for SaaS.
r/SaaS · April 2026
Found out our free tier costs more to run than our paid tiers combined. Shutting it down tomorrow.

8 leak categories the audit catches
Every finding comes with the specific transaction IDs behind it — and a dollar amount wherever it's computable. Not vague warnings.
Failed payments still unpaid
Example — 23 open invoices have already failed at least one payment attempt and are still unpaid. Total at-risk: $4,140. Each is listed with its invoice ID, and we pass through Stripe's own guidance on which can be retried and which need the customer to update their card.
Subscriptions earning $0
Example — we surface the customers still active at $0 ongoing MRR — lifetime deals and one-time-charge plans that Stripe marks 'paid' and forgets. Stripe shows the original charge; it never shows the ongoing cost-to-serve against it. We hand you the cohort so you can weigh that side.
Refund-fraud card clusters
Example — the same card fingerprint turned up behind refunds across 3+ separate customer accounts last month — a pattern consistent with refund abuse or trial-farming. We surface the cluster with the exact transaction IDs so you can investigate.
Chargebacks filed late
Example — 3 customers disputed charges 8–11 months after the original charge. Disputed: $7,250 — surfaced with the transaction IDs, so disputes arriving long after the sale don't slip past the window you're watching.
Free plans billing $0
Example — 47 active subscriptions are billing $0 — free plans, lingering 100%-off coupons, $0 migrations — and Stripe reports them as perfectly healthy. We surface that population so you can put a real cost-to-serve number against it. Stripe shows the $0; it can't show what free costs to run.
Subscriptions stuck in 'active'
Example — 12 subscriptions show 'active' but haven't generated an invoice past their expected billing cycle — a billing-cycle misconfiguration or a disconnected subscription state. We list each one with its subscription ID and the MRR it should be producing.
Discounts that became permanent
Example — 47 customers are still on a 'first 3 months 50% off' coupon that should have expired 8 months ago. We compute the recoverable amount per subscription.
Churn cohorts that hide in aggregates
Example — your November 2025 acquisition cohort cancelled at 3× your average rate within 3 months. We name the cohort and the size of the gap; what changed in onboarding or acquisition that month is where you dig.
