Q: subscription product type not included?
I echo other questions/reviews that are disappointed that you're offering a set of plans to AppSumo that are quite different from directly on your website. In particular, as I understand it, you have to buy tier 3 to sell subscriptions? This is a basic product type of any type of payment system. And in fact, with the plans on your website, there is total feature parity for all three plans until you get to the (understandable) more advanced power features that are add supplemental features.... i.e. affiliates is beyond what a cart/funnel solution is expected to offer. It's not just nickel and diming about anything specific, it doesn't engender confidence that things will go well down the road as new features are added. I would need to see some shift in how you understand the value of our purchases to confidently invest.

Nov 17, 2024A: Hi there,
Long story short, we have to survive and do what's necessary to ensure our longevity and sustainability.
With AppSumo deals dropping like flies these days, we are committed to not being a statistic.
I understand buyers would want to have their cake and eat it too: the deal must be very cheap, and it must survive for the next 10 years too.
That's just not feasible, and we want to be one of the deals that survive for the long term.
We already have a very loyal and committed user base that we are responsible for now.
That necessitates making very difficult decisions about what we can offer and at what price point.
Despite all I've said, our offer is still the best offer for our product category on AppSumo, and it's definitely already plenty to sell successfully and obtain a positive ROI, like many of our happy users.
I'm just an ordinary guy like any customer who buys from this page just trying to survive and build something.
My business completely failed last year, and I had to build up from scratch, burning my savings and only recently has Zylvie found some traction; I've been living an extremely frugal lifestyle for more than a year now.
I'm not a huge SaaS corporation making money hand over fist and over-optimizing everything to squeeze out a few more points in my profit margin out of my customers.
Please understand that I'm already working extremely hard and being squeezed from every direction, just trying my best to serve my customers and to provide for me and my loved ones, and this is the best I can do.
With thanks,
Jay
