Just Don't - Plus Is A Ripoff

A huge percentage of the "deals" on Appsumo.com are half-baked or incomplete products that later change direction and do not deliver on the sales promise. Purchasing "Plus" to get a discount on an overpriced or incomplete app and an extended return window is not worthwhile—smarter to just not buy any app on Appsumo that is not well-established, because the sellers do not abide by their own terms (for example: I purchased VelocityPage Unlimited, only for VelocityPage to tell me it was limited and required annual renewal, which was not correct), and Appsumo or Sumo Group do not stand behind the products they sell. So why give them more money to save on poor products? It makes no sense. Learned this the hard way after it happened to me; Appsumo disabled my Plus membership and refused to refund it too, and Appsumo's response was simply, "Sorry, too bad you misunderstood." Well, I understand now, Appsumo is dishonest and Plus is a ripoff. No amount of tacos could make these people better. It is sad to see the once humble founder now represent a company that behaves so poorly.

Hey there, I'm very sorry for your experience. We are working very hard to improve our vetting process for tools so that this doesn't continue to happen (we sent out an update in our May newsletter, and be on the lookout for more updates).

Regarding your Plus refund, unfortunately Plus is non-refundable as stated on the deal page. We do offer expectations to this if you have not used any of your Plus perks yet, and are happy to help you refund, but because you had used your perks already we were not able to process a refund.

Please feel free to reach out to me at kweeks@appsumo.com if you'd like to discuss in more detail :)
