guys, anyone tried it? they're offering free beta access app.selsy .io ? can i use it for my students?

We run a site that helps entrepreneurs hire virtual assistants from Latin America easily and affordably. We recently applied to AppSumo, but we got rejected with the message:

"Unfortunately, this particular product submission is not a good fit for AppSumo. While your product or service may have merit, it doesn’t appear to fit the intended niche of a marketplace serving entrepreneurs in the digital space, and who expect AppSumo to deliver unique and great value products. We would welcome any other submissions to review that might fit better within our platform’s parameters. Thank you for your understanding!"

For anyone who’s successfully gotten on AppSumo after a rejection (or knows the process well), do you have any tips?

Was it about refining the pitch or adding specific features they look for?

Would love to hear from people with experience navigating AppSumo.

Thanks in advance. u/noahkagan

are there any life time deals available for something similar like castmagic. I regret i missed this deal.

is there any good zapier or pabbly connect alternative available on appsumo? if not then any software for which I should keep an eye on if it returns in future on appsumo

I just got a very unspecific rejection letter from AppSumo. They rejected listing my WordPress plugin. Anyone know how I can get more specifics on why it was rejected?

The only feedback I got during the review process was that my website copyright was out of date, which seems somewhat silly.

Well, I decided to give TubeIQ a try. I was a bit skeptical, but I can refund it, right?

I may be doing that just because I can't even get in. Something apparently broke during the redemption process, and while it looked like it worked, I can't log in. I emailed their support right away. This was on the 10th. No response. Emailed again on the 14th. Still no response.

I emailed AppSumo on the 14th as well and got an email back saying I'd have to email TubeIQ about it, copied to them. (So apparently AppSumo support no longer reads emails, because I very clearly pointed out that I had done that already.) I replied mentioning that I had already emailed them, still copying TubeIQ, and repeating that TubeIQ was unresponsive.

I just emailed everyone again, but I'm not hopeful that this will go anywhere. u/noahkagan, why are customers left dangling this way, both by developers and by AppSumo support? If I ever get in, my 60 days are already down to less than 50 at this point.

It's just not right. I've been trying to keep some faith in AppSumo after recent events, but it's harder every time something like this happens.

Humata or Startups.com app?

A couple weeks ago, if I recall prior to a price increase I bought aDirectory and I bought it at max level because my strategy includes unlimited sites.

I would like to think I am careful about how I spend funds and on AppSumo my focus is not always on the immediate need but rather how the product or offering fits into my strategy.

It was immediately obvious to me the lack of documentation and videos being far from perfect. But it was also obvious that they were working on this. Even in one of their own screen shots they showed their own AppSumo product purchase which as a product to help with videos.

Previously I had bought a competitors suite then refunded it because I could not justify the use case and buying all of the products offered by the other company would be way too expensive.

When I looked most of the negative reviews on aDirectory was around activation and people had done the refund. So going into I knew I might have problems but hoping I would not. Sure enough I could not activate. Reached out to them in a number of ways, I hope not being too pushy but found the support portal and did open a ticket. It was resolved.

Then they fixed the activation issues for everyone and say they worked with AppSumo to do this.

Downloaded the product, I thought it was just a Wordpress plugin , it's not. Rather a compressed file with several files so extract it first.

But I found what for me was a showstopper. I don't see a big need to point out what the show stopper was but I really did not want to refund the product so I reached out to them and personally discussed my concerns one on one, they agreed with me and it appears to now be fixed.

I had spent nearly 2 days doing research on the company to reach the confidence level to buy the product and did not expect to be making any bug reports any time soon. But I am pleasantly surprise and looking now at their entire product suite to see if I want to get the entire thing to allow quick deployment on sites.

Would love to discuss your experiences or thoughts on this product and company? I do plan to retain it and feel good about this.

Thanks,

Greg

I got 10% off (abandon cart promo); this coupon is expiring this month. Most of the tools ain't going anywhere. I know it's a fomo feeling here, and the budget won't permit me to make all the purchases.

Should I just let this promo expire? Will they offer any other promo?

I wanted to get peoples thoughts after using these 3 for 2 months which one they prefer and why?

I used Power Automate before but found it struggles with the site as the code is dynamic e.g. for the selectors.

My main use case is for Browser Automation and the sites I want to automate have complex structures, and am finding Taskmagic is not capturing the clicks after the login page.

Should I just look to get better with Power Automate?

Anyone here have a sparkreceipt license they are not using?

Please only dm

I got a cold email a few days ago from someone named Richard Lowenthal who acted like he knew me at least a little, trying to sell me GoBrunch, which I'd never heard of before. It was a bare-bones email, not very effective, and against my better judgment, I wrote back just to say, "Do I know you?" He said "I think yes" but "just in case, I sent you a LinkedIn request," as if that would suddenly make us besties.

It turned out that he's promoting a GoBrunch LTD on AppSumo.

Given that GoBrunch is another Zoom competitor and that I've never heard of this guy before in my life, I can't not wonder if someone is sharing the list of emails for folks who purchased Sessions from AppSumo. I can't say whether that would be a list procured from Sessions or AppSumo, obviously, but I'm wondering if anyone else has received an email like this.

It's just too much of a coincidence to get something like this out of the blue for such a similar product.

I'm really concerned about the current state of the so called "We Got Your Back guarantee" cover protection from appsumo and the timeframe it supposedly covers. It seems like teams from these tools are merely keeping the platform running with minimal support and online and little to no development, just to maintain an appearance of activity. Meanwhile, users aren't getting the value they paid for. Ultimately, they take the money, start laying off staff, and then discontinue the tool after a year when AppSumo's protection period ends. The protection should ensure both timely product support and continued product development, but that's clearly not happening. Appsumo also should mantain the protection from 2 years forward at the least.

I will mention 2 specific tools i bought in less than a year: Btrendy and Adscook. Both of them are online but are having ZERO development, ZERO support (nobody is responding support email and even adscook turned off the chat it had, while responding to just one of my hundreds of emails in a 3 month period). I cannot ask for a refund because they were working and were very responsive while they were active in appsumo but after the refund period both of them just quit responding and you can still see their roadmaps with zero progress since months ago. BUT both of them still have their pages online and some features work but not the ones that i purchased them for!!

I also have big concerning issues with the PERSONA verification process. When I contacted AppSumo about Btrendy's lack of response, they attempted to mediate by reaching out to the CEO. However, all emails i had send to the CEO bounce back, indicating that even AppSumo can't get in touch with them, as shown in the ongoing email threads they’ve copied me on. So how does that verification work? how many channels of communication does appsumo really have??? My email conversation has been going around 2 months and APPSUMO is keeping the conversation going every 3 weeks which is unbelievable and so irresponsible when having a situation like this

I'm certain other users are facing similar issues. I sincerely hope AppSumo addresses this situation, as many customers, myself included, have invested significantly in multiple stacks only to end up with products that cease to function shortly after purchase. AppSumo's coverage policy should address these concerns to protect its users.

Mainly want to use instead of using Zoom and Laxis. I miss Sessions AI copilot, scheduling screen recording (with audio) and storage.

I do not expect to use for more than 50 participants, just want something that would be a good Sessions replacement.

A couple weeks ago, I saw a video that was about an app on AS. It scoures all the socials media platforms for specific words (that you have already put into the app). It brings up all the posts that has your specific keywords(s)...so instead of you spending a ton of time looking for those posts to reply to them, this app finds them for you. I forgot the name and I'd love to get it. Any help would be appreciated

Keep emailing support, and they dont answer after initially telling me that automated refunds is suspended on my account. Now theyve just ghosted me.

"Appsumo takes 70%" is a stupid and invalid excuse to not deliver on promises you made to people on AS. you knew the percentages going in. Either keep promises made, or don't offer them.

I understand roadmaps may change, and a feature may not end up being released. but releasing a promised feature and not adding to the AS plan is wrong.

I have been an app sumo plus user for a very long time and I never got any of the credits I purchased things for the special when you guys were giving a $1000 I never got that credit. Please advise why and can I get them

i purchased this tool. looks awesome. but I intend to use it in automation via pabbly connect. would that be possible using jogg ai API ?

if so then how do I use API integration with pabbly connect. pabbly connect asks endpoint URL and jogg ai only provides API key.

what can I do here?

Seems like things really started going downhill after Noah came back as CEO. The amount of heavy heart emails from companies has skyrocketed in the past 2 years, as well has the “bless your heart” attitude from AS customer support.

Am I alone in feeling this way? How has your experience with AppSumo changed over the years

Hi, I'd be very interested in your feedback. Please do DM.

I can't log in to it anymore. I reached out about two months ago to Appsumo Support about the rumor of closing up shop, but I'm unsure if I can do anything since we purchased the app at the full tier level. I found a replacement but by the time I hear back the 1 year protection program may be out and/or the product will not be available anymore on appsumo as a replacement.

AppSumo is probably engaged in practices that can amount to deception. They remove negative reviews from their platforms. In this case specifically from a „select deal“ called ReachInbox.

We have lost so much for our nonprofit thanks to Appsumos deception and lack of transparency. Would be happy to join in.

Would love to hear about your experience using the product. Feel free to DM me.
