Craig Steinberg @craig5068
Extremely buggy. Support is very slow to respond. They only seem to check their tickets once per day making it take weeks of back and forth. They advised me to update my version which then resulted in all the data being wiped and afterwards told me that I can no longer migrate the data because I upgraded (even though that is what they told me to do!).
The years keep resetting, the files you upload don't save. I suggest you wait until the stable version is actually stable because right now it is not.

Support is fast. No issues as of yet, just general questions which are always answered fast!
The module has a range of useful features, should be part of the main product! Module Garden products complete the WHMCS experience for our business and we use several of their modules.
Tyson Buck @tyson5271
Very helpful with our marketing plans which allow us to get contracts signed upon payment. Great add on if your needing contracts signed with any of you recurring billing services.
Thiago Paiva @tdzain
We were looking for a specific solution that could help us with our system. The Recurring Billing Extended For WHMCS application is flexible, fantastic and perfect for anyone looking for addon functionality.
Raymond Belden @cherrymarket
**Update 10/6/2017 ModulesGarden listened to our concerns and updated this module so it works to our specifications. There are some new updates added that we didn't realize were wanted. Happy customer overall!
This module has been in our system for a few months and it takes care of dedicated server contracts with ease.
Keep in mind this module only works with clients who have an account previously created in your system! The way the setup is currently, it gives the impression to the customer that they should be able to input their information and then be able to accept the contract. This is counter intuitive and could potentially frustrate a potential client. If it wasn't for this I would give this module a full five stars since everything else works as described.
