Feder and Recharge: keep Recharge, check its numbers.
No, Feder is not a replacement for Recharge. Keep Recharge. Feder sits beside it and checks whether the numbers it shows can be trusted, by reading what happened at the source and comparing it with your own history.
Why would I need this?
Because the question is not what the number is. It is whether you can trust it.
Is Feder an alternative to Recharge?
No. Recharge is a subscription platform that powers subscriptions sold on Shopify stores. Feder does a different job: it watches the numbers your tools record and says when one cannot be trusted. Nothing here asks you to switch.
Do I need Feder if I have Recharge?
They do different jobs, so one does not stand in for the other. Keep Recharge for the job it does. Feder's job is to say when a number your tools record has gone quiet or moved outside your own history.
What does Recharge do better?
Recharge shows new subscriptions each day side by side with cancellations, so a store can see both moving together.

In Recharge's words:
Error – The order was not able to process, either due to a card error, product error, or shipping error.
