Pretty good, but was disappointed by the need for further subscriptions
It's been a great tool. I had (and still have) some difficulty navigating the menus. I often use their AI tool to help me find settings. I'm very hopeful that this tool will be beneficial for the professional directory that I'm envisioning. I've had it for only three months and it's already launched. It's nice to have the business listings preloaded into the site. I have 5,000. Unfortunately, I'm having a very hard time getting pages to be indexed by Google; apparently there are a lot of errors. But some of it is indexed, which means it's not a total failure so far. It will take some time for me to figure it all out. I was a bit disappointed that there are add-ons necessary for the project I intended to create. I thought that by buying a lifetime deal, I wouldn't have to spend any more money on this tool. But I'm grateful to at least get a discount. But to be clear, if you have pretty basic aspirations (like you just need a simple, local directory with not a lot of search functionality or membership tier options), the AppSumo deal is pretty good. I just wanted more, so I'm having to pay more. Someone recommended getting tier 6. I originally bought tier 4 and upgraded to tier 5 for the developer tools. I don't see the point in getting tier 6 unless I end up with a huge membership, but maybe down the road I'll eventually want it. I'd like to see tiers 5 and 6 include lifetime access to the VIP Add-On Club and maybe Enhanced Hosting! That's really what I need.

Jan 9, 2026Thanks so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and honest review. It’s great to hear that you’ve already launched your directory and are putting the tools to work—we know that’s no small feat, and it sounds like you’re off to a solid start.
We also really appreciate you pointing out both the strengths and areas that gave you some friction. The AI assistant helping you navigate settings is exactly what it was designed for, so we’re glad it’s been useful so far. And you’re absolutely right—SEO can take time, and we’re happy to provide guidance to help improve indexing as you go.
Regarding add-ons, that’s totally fair feedback. The core platform is built to be fully functional out of the box, but we know some users have more advanced goals and need a bit more flexibility. Add-ons are there to support those deeper use cases, and we do try to offer discounted options when possible.
Thanks again for your support and for investing in Tier 5. We’re here if you need help fine-tuning anything and excited to see where you take the project from here.
