Q: Upgrade from Lifetime (Basic plan) to next plan
Hi, when I take appsumo deal, I am a member in Basic Membership for free, that is 29/mo, and you are giving discount of 29/mo, which makes the cost of plan free.
in the future, If I need to upgrade to Founder community plan, or Dedicated advisors plan, will I need to pay full 99/mo, or199/mo, or discount of 29/mo continues there.

Jan 9, 2025A: Amazing suggestion—and I’ve got good news for you! Yes. The answer is yes.
When you upgrade to the Community or Advisors plans in the future, you’ll continue to receive your $29/month discount for life. That means no matter how much value you unlock with an upgraded membership, you’ll always have that $29 off as a thank-you for being part of the Startups.com family through this AppSumo deal.
I hope this shows how much we appreciate founders like you.

do i understand correctly that the AppSumo LTD maps to the Basic Membership plan plus the Partner Perks from the Founder Community plan?
Hi Sumoling, the features of the basic plan is already included with your appsumo deal.
If you wish to upgrade to a higher monthly tier, you can use this link while logged in and it should automatically have applied the $29 discount. https://www.startups.com/accelerator/upgrade/basic-lifetime

How do I go about applying said discount? When I go to click on the basic plan it’s wanting to charge me the $29.
