almondeteQ: Waited Two Years for This?
I bought Tier 5 in 2023, mainly for the promised PWA feature. After two years of waiting, it’s finally here—only to find it’s locked behind a $29/month fee just to use a custom domain. Who wants a PWA on an appmysite subdomain? That’s pointless. I know this deal was offered based on the Pro plan—you’ve reminded the AppSumo community of that many times. But AppSumo deals often include perks beyond standard plans, and this feels like a bait-and-switch. Unbundling PWA from domain customization is a low blow. At least Tier 5 users deserved better. If I wanted a paid subscription, I'd go with GoodBarber: mature, stable, intuitive, with API access and real integrations. I genuinely hope I misunderstood and that the full PWA launch will respect those who trusted you from the beginning.

Jun 2, 2025A: Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out.
We are making the PWA feature available to AppSumo users, but as you pointed out, you would have to use it with an AppMySite subdomain.
We understand you want us to include a custom domain with your Tier 5 license. However, we cannot include any feature that involves a significant ongoing cost in a lifetime deal, as it is not viable for us to do this.
Even making the PWA available on an AppMySite subdomain involves a significant cost, but we have decided to make this available to our AppSumo customers due to your support and trust. However, making a custom domain available as well is unfortunately not viable.
We understand this is not news you want to hear. We hope you try out our PWA feature – we’re sure you will find value in this new release.
We can also confirm that the coming Shopify integration will be made available to AppSumo users.
Please feel free to reach out for more questions.
Keen to see a reply here..
Can you stop assuming everyone know what PWA is? What are you all talking about (Tier 5 user here bought back in early days too).
From your position it is very easy to dismiss me by telling me that I have to settle for a decaffeinated PWA function. But please tell me a single use case where I can use this feature with your subdomain. It is totally absurd, can you explain to me what is the extra cost of customizing a domain?
Here it has happened as usual, they ask us for our money with nice words and promises to finance the adventure and then they leave us stranded with paywalls all over the place.
Ladies and gentlemen of appsumo. Maybe some clearer rules of the game should be established by the software developers. I am not willing to be anyone's ATM. For my part this is the last time they cheat on your platform.
So PWA is pay wall? I agree AppSumo deals reel you in on LTD but it's not true it's Pay Wall you to death or "upgraded" fees for technology. AppSumo does nothing.
