(Spoiler: unlike others, I am not asking for a lifetime deal.)

I presume you are here for exposure and/or feedback from early adopters, and not for funding. I am very interested in your product but I find very little reason to sign this up, because, pardon me for being blunt, it seems like I am paying you to be your tester. (Also, other more established players in your industry is not much more expensive.)

I'd suggest that you could consider offering a $59 3-year-deal, with monthly requests limit and lifetime 50% discount to regular plans. Users who exceed the limit can move on to the regular plan right away with the 50% discount.

Advantages of this proposal:
- It makes the deal more reasonably priced, seeing that you do not have many templates and integrations now.
- It gives users more time to get familiar with the platform, to develop the app and to develop the user base.
- It gives users more time to observe your development and decide if they want to stick with you.
- Monthly request limit protects you from being drowned by heavy usage users.
- You get more users without long term liability nor losing money.

Your funding from ScaleX draws a lot of interest from many Sumolings (based on discussions on Facebook) but current deal terms really put many people away. I believe a much better deal, even not a life time one, can attract many to come back to pick this up.

Lastly, one very important thing, if you are including a lifetime 50% discount to regular plan, please include it in the official deal terms rather than just saying it in the discussion section. Too often Sumolings have been thrown under the bus by untrustworthy founders who make empty promises outside the official deal terms.

All the best for your Appsumo launch.
