We learned the hard way that Afficone is nothing but a scam. Unfortunately, by the time we realized it, it was too late to get a refund. Their customer service? Completely non-existent. They just don’t respond.

Our developer did some digging and quickly discovered that with just a simple browser console manipulation, you could fake transactions. He managed to “trick” Afficone into thinking we owed almost $10,000 to an affiliate — just by manually entering a number. No real validation, no real security — just a poor-quality facade that pretends to track things but is actually completely broken underneath.

If an affiliate wanted to, they could easily manipulate the numbers without any checks at all. That’s how bad the tracking system is. It’s incredibly disappointing that there’s no way to get a refund or even a goodwill gesture — especially because we were seriously investing in the platform.

Sure, AppSumo gives a generous amount of time to test products, and we take full responsibility for not integrating earlier. But now we understand all the recent bad reviews: this tool is straight-up unusable and feels like pure fraud.
