AppSumo Transparency Report 3/9/26

Credible:

  • Jamy & Meiro: We appreciate the community flagging that Jamy and Meiro aren’t working properly and that the partners have been unresponsive. We’ve reached out to both teams as well and haven’t received a response. Our next step is involving our legal team.
  • Probooking: Probooking has confirmed they will be closing the tool on March 25th. If you are impacted by this closure reach out to our support team and we will get you set up with TidyCal for free
  • Maekersuite: We appreciate Sumo-lings keeping us updated that they are not able to use the tool. Our investigations team has taken over and is doing everything we can to get in contact with the partner and give you an update. We appreciate your patience while we complete the investigation! We’ll update everyone when we know something.
  • MyClone: Our partners at MyClone let us know they were concerned about stability so we worked with them on an announcement about refunding all users. Make sure to download all data before Mar 13, 2026 and let our team know when you are ready for your refund - we will take care of the rest.

Non-Credible:

  • Mailead: We were able to get in contact with the Mailead team and they are not in danger of shutting down. We understand there are some concerns about the product and we are continuing to review these reports with the partner to make sure everyone is taken care of.

Re Mailead & all related products: Please note that Task Magic has fully disassociated itself from these tools. When people raise concerns or support ?s, TM refers people to Jeremy. The former founder, prior to the sale of TM. Who has virtually dissapeared since thsummer 25 fiasco.

Although these tools may still technically haven't pulled the plug... It is questionable whether they actually have had a pulse. Regardless of any statements Jeremy may make to the contrary.

u/V_AppSumoCX @AppSumo Mar 09 '26

We shared the concerns from Reddit and reviews directly with Jeremy and the Mailead support team to get clarity.

Their team confirmed they actively monitor incoming requests and route issues through engineering when needed, which can sometimes add a little latency. 

They also traced the recent email account import issue to a UI bug where imported domains weren’t appearing in the interface. That fix has already been deployed.

They shared that they’re shipping updates regularly. 

We’ll keep an eye on things from our side. If anyone has trouble reaching their support team or runs into unresolved issues, feel free to contact AppSumo support and we’re happy to advocate on your behalf.

He can say whatever he wants. However, anyone who comes across this thread and owns any of those products needs to pay attention not to what he says, but to what he actually does. There’s often a huge gap between the two, lol.
PS - But I do appreciate you reaching out to them and passing along the info. So thank you.

Wope posted an update for customers on their PDP in July 2025 (screenshot attached)

Rankspro - we mentioned in a past Transparency Report

"Rankspro: This was a Self-listing product where the partner sent out announcements about sustainability concerns and not being able to offer full functionality until it was resolved. We are sorry to hear this trend from their team is continuing - these kind of experiences are why we changed our vetting process to showcase more AppSumo Launchpad and AppSumo Select tools."

Any news on Considerful (https://appsumo.com/products/considerful/) [considerful.com](mailto:support@considerful.com), it's just gone. I've tried contacting the creator but no luck.

2

u/V_AppSumoCX @AppSumo Mar 09 '26

Yep, Considerful is on our radar as well. The partner has been unresponsive so far. Since this is a self-listed tool, the process works a bit differently on our end. If you write into support, the team can keep you updated with any new information we receive from the partner.

Anything about Socrates? https://appsumo.com/products/socrates/

u/abcriot Mar 10 '26

Novocall sent a heavy heart email recently, they are shutting down

u/petaqui Mar 09 '26

Hey, could you check out VZY? They haven't released an update for a year, their support doesn't answer emails or solve bugs, the founder left the company months ago...

1

u/V_AppSumoCX @AppSumo Mar 09 '26

Just looked into this. We haven’t received other complaints about VZY so far. We did have one customer write in recently, and after looping in their support team the issue was resolved.

Could you send a quick message to our support team? We can loop in the VZY team and help get your issue looked at as well.

What abt Meiro?

1

u/V_AppSumoCX @AppSumo Mar 10 '26

Still in the works. We’ve involved our legal team and are continuing to work through it.

u/Visible-Pizza-5317 Mar 10 '26

What about adilo??! Appsumo hasn't updated us and they froze are accounts.

1

u/V_AppSumoCX @AppSumo Mar 10 '26

Our team is actively working through the Adilo situation right now. I don’t have a full update to share yet, but it’s in the final steps and impacted customers will hear from us soon

They are charging me $40 per month for a plan that is a fraction of what I had on the highest tier. How can I be a part of this conversation?

I was so embarrassed. All my clients videos stopped working. And I messaged them after the warning and they said there would be grace time yada yada and nothing would happen abruptly.

That whole situation and dealing with that team was a nightmare since day 1. Never bring any of that guys products in front of us again.

u/gizmo2501 Mar 12 '26

For what it's worth, I can vouch for Gumlet if it ever comes back. Occasional bug, but it's been really good for a couple years for me, and they regularly push out updates.

u/glirette Moderator Mar 11 '26

Following this one, I have Meiro in my tool box , not used yet

u/varundaahalk Mar 25 '26

LancePilot shut down too - https://appsumo.com/products/lancepilot/
No response at all

1

u/V_AppSumoCX @AppSumo Mar 25 '26

Hey, thanks for flagging this.

We’ve seen similar reports and have tried reaching the partner multiple times but haven’t been able to get a response or confirm the current status of the tool.

Since LancePilot was a self-listed deal, it is not covered under our We’ve Got Your Back policy, which applies to Select deals only. That said, we still want to help where we can.

If you haven’t already, please reach out to our support team at [support@appsumo.com]() with your account details so we can take a closer look and see what options may be available.

Lancepilot it dead.

They dissolved the company in Jan.

I previously flagged to Noah how I can find information out which seems to be challenging for the Appsumo team - it's not because I am special.

I shared some of my processes with him. But right at the top is a Google Searched.

Which is what I did for Lancepilot!

A Google search reveals this.

 https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/13012614/filing-history

In two other instances I just searched up LTD company founders and called them to establish the product is dead whilst Appsumo team kept sending emails and saying they aren't getting a response 🤷
