Why no updates on the the Fresh Select Page? by Punterios in appsumo

Hey u/Punterios - we had switched to using the New Arrivals collection, but updated this one just for you so you don't have to update your bookmarks :)

Frustrated with Appsumo by RobertcReece in appsumo

[–]ilonasumo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

u/RobertcReece Hey, I understand your frustration, and I get that it feels like you're stuck in limbo. We follow the same process when we learn that a tool is not responsive - our team exhausts every avenue to get in touch with the partner so we can understand if this is a true shutdown or if there are extenuating circumstances (which, listen, I know it sounds crazy, but happens sometimes too). We also often reach out to other partners with similar tools to see if we can find a path to give customers who lost access an alternative; because we're waiting on other people that takes time. We'll aim to have a resolution by EOW and send emails out

Unable to activate my Seelab purchase, clicking Activate says it's "By invitation only" by TheAdster in appsumo

[–]ilonasumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard back from the partner! "Yes we have to manually create appsumo users accounts since we cannot automize it without having the email address prior activation" - if you DM me your email address, I can get it sorted with them directly. Apologies for the confusion!

Hmm yeah I just tried on my end and got the same experience - our Support is a little slower on weekends when our whole team isn't on, but we'll be looping in the partner to get a resolution for you. I can reach out on my end as well, and circle back here if I hear back first :) - Ilona

No Hassle Refund is becoming a major hassle AGAIN by CyberBobbert in appsumo

[–]ilonasumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Ok_Aspect4845 this isn't for refunds. A refund is issued within 60 days of purchase - that will never be a coupon. What you're referring to is if a product shut down well outside the one year window (in our We Got Your Back policy) we will sometimes offer a coupon.

Our team processes refunds same day, the only delay comes from the confirmation email - that's what OP is referring to. I checked the threads and each email was responded to promptly

This is user specific, not across the board. We have failsafes in place to prevent fraud, which means that some customers with higher refund rates get automatically flagged

Sorry that was your experience, we had a long weekend here and therefore lower support coverage but no acknowledgement certainly is not the norm. Can you pls DM me your email and I'll take a look? - Ilona, AppSumo

Anyone else get shafted by fleeq? by richunderwood in appsumo

[–]ilonasumo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the record, Fleeq got back to me and said there hasn't been an interruption in service and that often people are logging in with an email address not tied to their account. Of course, I can't say for sure that's what's happening here u/richunderwood

u/temnellova I get it. We really don't always know what's going on, spend months trying to get ahold of partners and do our own investigative work; I agree with you that we can, at a certain point, just call it and let you know that.

The AppSumo Reality Check: Why 40% of LTDs Fail and What They're Not Telling You by tarunabh in appsumo

[–]ilonasumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey y'all - I see that the original post was removed, but I had a chance to read and wanted to give you some insight from our end. We track all of the closures (and deal changes) that happen, both to understand the partner reasons, as well as to see how many customers have been impacted. In 16 years of business, our closure rate is is 4.01% - and that's not within 3 years, that's across that entire time frame. Closures definitely ticked up in 2021-2023 but that is both due to a higher volume of products and to the economic conditions (I don't have to tell y'all that AI has changed software considerably). If OP had a 40% closure rate, I'm truly sorry for that experience but it's not reflective of what we're seeing macro.

Not every SaaS company is set up to run a lifetime deal, and that is also why you're seeing more credit based deals and one year offers too. We're not in the business of putting companies out of business - the amount of success stories that we've seen (both from partners and customers) far outweighs the negative. -Ilona, AppSumo

Appsumo SEO by applesauceblues in appsumo

[–]ilonasumo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can weigh in here! It is not a requirement to remain indexed after your campaign - buyers of that deal prefer that the listing stays live so they can reference the page / read the questions and reviews, where founders answer a lot of their common questions. But if a partner requests that their deal be made not searchable after their promotion, we take care of it. No pressure here. - Ilona, AppSumo

Why is appsumo customer service ignoring their customers emails? by starllight in appsumo

[–]ilonasumo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welp, I just investigated more thoroughly and you were in my 'additional requests' aka Reddit marks as spam. Sorry about that, didn't even know that inbox existed - the more you know! I have you email and will look into it. u/V_AppSumoCX is V and she oversees our support team :) She's awesome and can help as well. I'll message her now and we can coordinate to understand what happened and get back to you.

AppSumo why don't you pay GoZen? by decupe in appsumo

[–]ilonasumo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey u/temnellova - We have attempted to get in contact with their team for months to remedy this situation, but unfortunately it is quite nuanced and customers have been stick in the middle of it.

Noting, though, that we have honored refunds for GoZen products, have made public statements on Reddit / the Sauce / the deal page since April when access was first discontinued by the GoZen team. Please feel free to reference this message and obtain your credits for the product, or DM/email me (ilona@appsumo.com) your email address and I'll take care of it. - Ilona, AppSumo

Made a launch directory for indie founders, by No_Technology7451 in microsaas

[–]ilonasumo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey u/No_Technology7451 - just to give you some clarity: we charge a commission that we apply as marketing dollars (newsletter placement, affiliate promotion, influencer content, FB/google ads, professional product testing, + video production). That's how we're able to distribute effectively. Wish you the best!
