The Pre-Collections Platform

Get paid before it goes to collections.

Kept's AI recovers your overdue invoices for a flat subscription — taking zero cut of what it collects. We're your collections agency too, so you're covered end-to-end — with a 20% collections fee only on what we can't save. Every Save is 20% you keep.

Connects to QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Salesforce, HubSpot and more in minutes.

The problem with how it works today

Your current options both cost you money.

Accounting-software reminders are generic and toothless. Collections agencies are expensive and late. Both leave money on the table.

Auto-reminders do nothing

QuickBooks and the rest fire the same generic email into the void — same message, same time, no leverage — until an invoice quietly ages out to 120–180 days.

The Collections Tax

Hand it to a traditional agency and they take 20–50% of whatever they recover. You lose a huge cut of money you were already owed.

The Recovery Cliff

Agencies engage after 90 days — right when collectibility craters from ~90% to ~35%. You pay the biggest cut on the hardest money.

A different deal

A flat fee, not a cut of your money.

Kept flips the collections model. You pay a predictable subscription, and we take nothing from what we recover before collections. The only fee you'd ever pay is on the accounts we couldn't save.

How Kept works

The right message, to the right person, at the right time.

Kept reads the signals your accounting software ignores and turns them into perfectly-timed outreach — escalating honestly toward a resolution before default.

STEP 1

Connect

Sync your accounting software and CRM in minutes. Kept sees every open invoice and aging bucket.

STEP 2

Pre-Collections Intelligence

It reads payment history, email opens, contact changes, customer health and touchpoints.

STEP 3

Signal-Timed Outreach

Kept sends the right message to the right contact at the right moment for each stage — warm to firm.

STEP 4

Credible Escalation

An honest signal that collections and loss of access are next closes the Save — and you keep every dollar.

Runs itself

Save a hire, not just the fees.

Kept does the work a full-time AR or collections specialist would — the monitoring, the timing, the follow-ups, the escalation — automatically. No one on your team chasing invoices instead of doing their real job, and no new headcount to add as you grow.

of collections work, automated — roughly a full-time hire you don't have to make
Pricing

Priced by how early we engage.

Engagement timing is the single biggest driver of how much gets collected — so the earlier we start, the higher your Save Rate. Every plan takes 0% of what it recovers.

Welcome to Pre-Collections.

Collections is a failure state — you've already lost the money and the cut. Kept fights the battle upstream, where you still win.

The Pre-Collections Window™

The ~30–120 day zone where an invoice is still 60–97% collectible and a flat fee beats handing over a cut. Kept lives here.

The Save

A recovered invoice that never went to collections. Every Save is money — and a customer relationship — you kept.

Credible Escalation

Firm, honest, never abusive. The behavioral lever that turns a reminder into a payment — before default.

Every Save is 20% you keep

You pay a fee only when we can't save it. Every account we do save is 20% that stays in your pocket.

FAQ

Common questions.

What exactly is “pre-collections”?

It's the window before an overdue invoice goes to a collections agency — roughly 30 to 120 days past due. In that window an invoice is still highly collectible; once it ages past 90 days, collectibility drops off sharply. Kept works that early window so you get paid before it ever reaches an agency.

How is Kept different from a collections agency?

A traditional agency charges a 20–50% contingency fee — on the hardest-to-collect dollars, after the money has already aged. Kept engages earlier, recovers at a flat subscription with 0% taken from what it collects, and only acts as your collections backstop (at a flat 20%) if a pre-collections save fails. Every save, you keep in full.

What does Kept cost?

A flat monthly or annual subscription that scales by how early we engage — see the pricing section for the current tiers. We take 0% of what we recover before collections. The only time a fee applies to a recovery is the 20% collections fee on invoices we can't save.

Will this damage my customer relationships?

No — that's the whole point of working pre-collections. Outreach is professional and well-timed, not the aggressive dunning an agency uses on aged debt. The goal is to get you paid while keeping the customer relationship intact.

What does Kept connect to?

Your accounting and CRM systems — including QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Salesforce, and HubSpot — so Kept can see your open invoices and aging automatically. Setup takes minutes.

How do we get started?

Connect your accounting software and CRM, and Kept immediately sees your open invoices and aging buckets. From there it monitors accounts and steps in at the right moment. Request a demo to see it run on your own numbers.

Is my data secure?

Kept connects to your systems through secure, permissioned integrations and uses your data only to recover your invoices — we never sell it. See our Privacy Policy for details.
