The Design Partner Program is Recurr’s frame for early customers — apps signing up for the first migration cohort, before customer count scales out. The program is intentionally limited and sunsets as Recurr exits its early phase.

What it is

Design Partners are migration customers signing up while Recurr is still building the platform’s operational depth. The relationship is closer than a standard SaaS engagement: customer feedback shapes the roadmap, founder delivery is direct, and commercial terms reflect the trade-off — earlier customers carry more uncertainty, and the program acknowledges that with concrete perks. The standard commercial offer (pilot deposit + Migration Program scope + 3.5% platform fee + 2.5% migration performance fee) applies in full. The Design Partner Program adds perks on top.

The perks

Roadmap input

A direct line into what gets built next. Design Partner conversations during onboarding and through the migration shape feature priority for the broader platform.

Founder-led delivery

The founder runs the engagement directly through pilot and migration — not handed off to a customer-success layer. Hands-on through scoping, wave execution, and the Compound phase setup.

Preferred pricing

Commercial terms that reflect early-customer status. Set during the Migration Review and confirmed in the MSA.

Priority access

Access to motion modules as they ship — Winbacks, Cancel deflections, Annual nudges — without waitlist hold for priority slots.

Who it’s for

Design Partner status is offered to apps that match the Recurr ICP — subscription mobile apps on iOS or Google Play, $1M+ ARR, with reachable subscribers — and who are ready to engage now, not later. The program is bounded by capacity: the founder can run a finite number of Migration Programs concurrently.

How to apply

The Design Partner Program is offered through the standard sales path:
1

Run the audit

Get specific year-one and steady-state recovery numbers at recurr.dev/audit.
2

Migration Review

Live call to confirm fit and walk through your specific opportunity. Apply at recurr.dev/apply.
3

Design Partner offer

If your app is a strong fit and there’s program capacity, the Migration Review closes with a Design Partner offer alongside the pilot reservation.

When the program sunsets

The Design Partner Program is a phase, not a tier. As Recurr scales past the early cohort, the program winds down — perks tied to scarcity (founder-led delivery, roadmap input) only work at small N. Customers in the program at signing keep their original terms through the engagement; the program doesn’t sunset mid-Migration Program. Pilot reservation → Migration Analysis →
