Startups.com offers a comprehensive platform with valuable courses, tools, and support for entrepreneurs. The lifetime deal at $49, along with the inclusion of AWS and Google Cloud credits, has been well-received. However, some users have mentioned minor drawbacks, such as eligibility criteria for certain perks and occasional changes in benefits. With an overall rating of 4.4 and 30 reviews, Startups.com is a solid option, especially with the 60-day money-back guarantee. It's definitely worth considering for entrepreneurs looking to accelerate their startup journey.

Another Bad Experience 💔

I mistakenly refunded a deal but realized I had extra credits in my account, so I used them to repurchase the deal. The support team has been very unhelpful throughout this process. I informed them that I created my account at the same time I applied my AppSumo code. I also told them about my regret over refunding the software deal, which led me to buy another code.

Despite this, the support team stubbornly refuses to apply my AppSumo code to my primary email address. They insist that I create a new email address solely to use their software, which I find extremely inconsiderate. I am not willing to open another account just for this software.

I wish I could share a positive experience, but I can't enjoy the product because the support team has been unhelpful and continues to deny the application of my AppSumo code.

Because this company has taken my money and greatly inconvenienced me, I am reporting this deal as a scam. I advise other AppSumo customers to be extremely cautious.

Thank you for reading this. If you use AppSumo, I hope your experience is better than mine.

Incredible deal

Stack Social has got a deal of $49.00 lifetime for LaunchRock alone!! Here it is 49.00 for every aspect of startups.com. I can't believe the value here. Really, just do it. What I really love too is there is no need to buy extra codes and stack, you know you have absolutely EVERYTHING with just the 49.00 US. Even if you don't use some of the features (as is my case) the fact that the entire kit and kaboodle is offered at this rate for lifetime, I know I will get my value's worth.

Thanks for the amazing shoutout! You’re absolutely right: $49 for the entire Startups.com ecosystem is insane value, and we’re thrilled you’re loving it. As you said, even if you don’t use every feature, we’re confident the ones you do will more than pay off.

If there’s ever anything we can do to help you get even more out of the platform, feel free to reach out at support@startups.com.

This might be the best AS deal...EVER

I am consistently dreaming about starting my startup but I am always held back because I let negative thoughts control me. Constantly telling myself that VC’s only fund folks with Ivy League degrees or people with extensive networks or rich folks… A bunch of crock, I know... but I let it get in the way and it held me back. I just didn’t know how to even begin. Idea validation, pricing, customer service, building a team, splitting finances, etc...

And sure, there're tons of articles and books on building a business but nothing thats tailored for start ups as this course is. Absolutely gold! Thanks AppSumo!

Thank you for sharing this! It’s amazing to hear that you’re finding the platform so valuable—it’s exactly why we created it. Starting a startup can feel overwhelming (we’ve all been there!), but the truth is, you don’t need an Ivy League degree, a huge network, or a pile of cash to get started. You just need the right tools, guidance, and a whole lot of grit—and it sounds like you’ve got that...

AWS and Google Cloud credits

The Google credits are the free credits offered by Google when any new user signs up. The 'redeem' button is just a simple link to the Google signup page https://cloud.google.com/free/

The AWS credits are offered through the AWS Activate program (https://aws.amazon.com/activate/portfolio-package-application/). The benefit description states that "Startups that have previously received $5,000 or more in AWS Credit are ineligible to redeem this offer. Credit is subject to approval."

I'm posting this information as I assume there will be a number of people interested in these perks, and they may not apply to everyone.

***UPDATE: The AWS credits are no longer available as part of this deal. As for Google Cloud, the credits now go up to $200,000 (subject to eligibility)—a major upgrade! Please note that perks like these are offered through our partners and are subject to change over time.***

Thanks for laying this out—it’s super helpful for others who might be wondering about these perks!

Products in the Bundle

- If it works than this is a great purchase
- The AWS credit application and approval takes 4-7 working days. So if you are in a hurry it worth it to take that in to consideration.
- The other startup staff is useful for beginners.
- Apps that are not mentioned here that are a MUST have to for a web app are Mailjet and Sendgrid which are musts for emailing users.
- Sendgrid application also takes many days to be approved (haven't heard back from them yet)
Another useful staff that you get is "ChargeBee" that is free for 2 years, it is basically a more affordable Stipe to handle REOCCURING /SUBSCRIPTIONS if you create products like that. Thy accept credit/debit cards and PayPall
