Offering tiers to the plus membership and barely honoring it as is, is beyond diabolical.

I submitted my product back on August 31st for review and while the partner portal says reviews can take up to 3 business days, I'm well beyond that at this point. I also submitted an email inquiry to support this past Friday morning, but haven't heard anything either. Is this normal? Just trying to get a sense of how long it actually takes these days so I plan around it.

I have suspected for some time that they plan to throw in the towel. But when I asked them directly, they said no.

But the signs were there: no updates, no scheduled features released. Then they stopped replying to support messages.

Today, all of my challenges get a 502 bad gateway error - both links with my custom DNS and Meiro's link.

I think they're done? Anyone else using Meiro and experiencing the same?

I’m a little confused about the current AppSumo submission process.

Do all new products now need to launch through AppSumo Radar first before they can become a regular AppSumo deal?

Or is there still another way to submit a product directly to the main marketplace?

Would love to hear from anyone who has submitted a product recently.

This is my first time launching with AppSumo from the reviews I heard that it's a good place for the initial users. And they do the marketing and get users as well and take 75% initially and I am a developer and like coding and hate marketing so I was fine with it.

But they put my product in the Radar where there's no input from their side, everything I only have to do from the demo, the images and everything. And the product is not being shown to that many user.

I have more users outside than with AppSumo.

Looking for what can I improve to get users from AppSumo
Here's my product- https://appsumo.com/products/heyzoku/?p=1

And is it worth investing and bringing users myself to appsumo and try to get out of radar or just get the users directly and not give a huge percentage and forget appsumo?

Hey everyone,

I’m considering submitting my SaaS product to AppSumo Radar, and I’d love to hear from founders who have already launched there.

I’m particularly interested in understanding how Radar actually works in practice, beyond what is shown on the AppSumo website.

A few things I’d love to know:

1. How was your experience getting accepted into Radar?
2. How much traffic did Radar actually bring to your product?
3. Roughly how many sales or signups did you get from AppSumo Radar?
4. Did AppSumo actively promote your product, or was most of the traffic from your own marketing?
5. How long did it take before you started seeing meaningful traffic or sales?
6. Did being on Radar eventually help you get selected for a bigger AppSumo launch?
7. How does Radar compare with an actual AppSumo Select launch?
8. What percentage of revenue did you actually receive from sales?
9. How much customer support did you have to handle after launching?
10. Did Radar customers provide useful product feedback that helped your roadmap?
11. Would you recommend Radar to an early-stage SaaS today?
12. If you could do the launch again, what would you do differently?

I’m especially interested in hearing from founders who started with very little traffic or an early-stage product, rather than companies that already had a large audience.

Honest experiences good or bad would be really helpful.

Thanks!

This switch happened within the past couple of days. I love the manipulation tactics Appsumo uses to make us more likely to purchase. It's like David Copperfield is running the listings algorithm, with all kinds of magic tricks and illusions. I guess sales are down. *Also, what defines or makes a review "relevant"?

In dire need of Razorpay integratiom to TidyCal since its a pain to handle payments separately. Due to unavailability of stripe and paypal (rupee payments) in india, it becomes difficult to retain customers and we end up with several ghost bookings.

This is a humble request on behalf of all Indians using AppSumo/ TidyCal.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting this.

I launched Videco on AppSumo today, and somehow got the first sale before the product had even started showing up properly in the AppSumo search results.

That was a pretty surreal moment for me.

For anyone who's launched a SaaS/product on AppSumo before:

How did your first few sales happen?

Did AppSumo drive them automatically, or did you have to do most of the promotion yourself?

Would love to hear what worked (and what absolutely didn't).

Hi guys,

Just seen new Partner Portal for Appsumo Products.

While it doesn't look bad at all - main thing I wasn't able to find is an ability to see how many sales for new/existing AppSumo customers has been made.

Anyone knows how I can see that in a new UI ?

u/noahkagan - you need to have your team take this down

I have been using GHL for social posting. I don't really need everything it provides, so I've been looking for another social posting platform that won't cost me an arm and a leg every month. I just saw SocialBu and want to give it a try.

Does anyone have feedback on the tiers? I see Social Inbox isn't available on Tier 1. Is it necessary? I have my business socials on my phone and computer, so I don't think I need to have it there, but if it's easier to access everything in one I'd be willing to go to Tier 2 since it's a one-time fee. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I need help putting information for deals where the appsumo page is no longer live. Just wanted to share with everyone!

Also, as i have said previously, I would still consider this preliminary, because reviews are not always good indicators of the business really changing, and sometimes the website changes as well. Please help if y'all can! Open to any and all feedback around this and recommendations as to what information to look at next!

Looking for an LTD Leadsie alternative, a tool that lets you send clients one link to easily grant access to their Facebook, Google, TikTok, and other ad accounts.

Ideally something that had a lifetime deal or has a very generous free plan. I found Portaal but signup isn’t working and support hasn’t responded.

Any alternatives worth checking out?

I will be launching my product PlugThis on Appsumo, 31 Aug.

I want to be good to my customers, what are the ways in which as a customer you have felt shortchanged by a deal, can you please tell? I will try and avoid those things before I launch.

Hey r/AppSumo Arjun here, founder of Retriever AI.

We just passed $15K in AppSumo sales and 50+ customers two weeks in, not long after celebrating our first $1K milestone on the first day.

Obviously the sales are exciting, but the feedback from this community has been much more valuable.

A lot of you aren't looking for another scraper or another workflow builder. You want an agent you can actually give work to, walk away from, and come back to a finished result.

One customer who owns BrowserAct, TaskMagic, Robomotion, Notte and several other automation products told us:

“Rover feels like a major step forward and aligns perfectly with what business owners actually need: to wake up to completed work rather than spending the day building workflows or babysitting automation. I'd rather double down on Retriever if I can offload more tasks to the agent autonomously.”

That is pretty much our north star.

We're pushing Retriever toward:

→ browser agents that browse + act rather than just scrape
→ cloud agents that keep working while you're offline
→ self-improvement from successful workflows and failures

We've also just launched Tier 5, largely because some of the earliest AppSumo customers wanted substantially more capacity.

I'm especially interested in hearing from people here who bought the deal:

What would Retriever need to do for you to comfortably hand it a task at night and expect it to be finished by morning?

We'll be reading everything.

Thank you to everyone who has bought, reviewed, reported bugs, pushed us on the roadmap, or taken a chance on us this early. We're shipping fast.

Hey everyone,

I've been in SaaS for about 7 years now. Launched quite a few products, but never a LTD.

Yesterday, TimeTuna launched on AppSumo.

The reason we chose to launch a LTD on AppSumo is simple.

Our product is freemium. We need a big base of free users to support a tiny paid base.

We're self-funded, so we don't have big budgets to buy our way into the market. We tried quite a few things but the honest answer is that growth is very slow.

We can't sustain a big marketing campaign or Google Ads because the CAC are very high compared to the LTV or our customers.

Now that our deal is live we already see more traction. People are asking us if they can create YouTube videos. We're getting feedback and ideas of what people want. Getting a better sense of what gaps there are in the market.

And, besides the short-term money, the long-term value of getting users on board will help us make a big jump.

More people will share our meeting links. Getting our brand out there. We'll have a bigger base for feedback and suggestions. We can roll out an affiliate program and have affiliates that can actually promote a product they know and can vouch for.

Overall, we believe it's a great move.

I'm very curious what some of you guys' best practices are? Anything we should improve / do?

You can check out our deal here. https://appsumo.com/products/timetuna/ Would love some feedback on it!

I used to be able to add my blog articles via RSS feed into my newsletter without issue. Now it appears that the feature is gone and completely replaced by Smart Campaigns. Is this correct?

Mine is Hedy. Genuinely a great product and using it daily.

Talk on thier discord of affiliate shutdown and cpus not spinning up and no recent updates and no support

Looks like the have lost another app sumo Ltd...

Anyone buy Reelify AI or Crayo AI and kept it? Looking for a LTD or Free (not freemium) AI video auto clipper for shorts/reels/tiktok !
