Lifetime Deals Define AppSumo, Not Short-Term Subscriptions deals.

Question

Hi,\u000aI appreciate the bundles you’re offering, but remember why many of us choose AppSumo in the first place: we prefer lifetime deals over subscriptions. I believe a lot of users feel the same. A one\u002Dyear discount is helpful at first, but once the price returns to the standard rate, the value drops, especially since we’ve already invested time and effort into learning and adapting new tools into our toolbox.\u000a\u000aShort\u002Dterm bundles can also create extra hassle with cancellations after the first year, which only adds to the frustration. What would make a real difference if you could negotiate to keeping the same fair price beyond the first year, instead of reverting to full standard rates.

Hi there,\u000a\u000aThanks for sharing your thoughts on AppSumo’s deal structure. We’ve denied this post because it’s purely a statement of opinion without an actual question for the founders’ team, which goes against our guideline that top\u002Dlevel submissions must include a clear question (explicit or implied) to be approved.\u000a\u000aIf you’d like us to revisit your feedback, please reframe it as a question— for example, “Could AppSumo consider bringing back more lifetime deals alongside subscriptions?” That way, we can pass it directly to the team for review. We look forward to your next post! ❤️ \u0026 🌮 – ModBot

Hi there,\u000a\u000aThank you for sharing your thoughts. We’ve denied this post because it reads purely as a complaint about our short\u002Dterm subscription bundles without posing a specific question—our Community Guidelines require every top\u002Dlevel post to include a clear, actionable question (Rule 6).\u000a\u000aWe’d love to see you resubmit by framing your feedback as a question, for example: “Could you extend the discounted rate beyond the first year?” or “Is there a plan to bring back more lifetime\u002Ddeal options?” That way our founders can address your concern directly. We’ll be happy to re\u002Dreview once it includes a focused question!\u000a\u000a❤️ \u0026 🌮 – ModBot

Hey! Appreciate you taking the time to share this, ZevsMatic. Lifetime deals are still the core of what AppSumo does and they\u0027re NOT going away—we\u0027re always on the lookout for LTDs with cool up\u002Dand\u002Dcoming SaaS partners. \u000a\u000aThis bundle was a special offer we were able to negotiate with bigger\u002Dname companies, which is how we got the deal in the first place. That said, we definitely hear you on the extra hassle with 1\u002Dyear/short\u002Dterm bundles, and I’ve passed this feedback along to the team as we plan future offers.
