Be careful who you give your money to
I paid Tier 3 for digitalfirst their first software on AppSumo and they abandoned the project just 2 years after no support or communication. They just started to dress this after launching this new platform. If you google Digitalfirst Appsumo you can still catch the reviews and see that they just recently addressed this to make new money.
About the "new" platform it looks polished and has multiple ai agents and requests running in chain to develop and research from my feeling I'd say you could send multiple requests in one of the popular LLMs to get the same results. It's convenient to use but again seeing this company abandoning their last project just to come back like this smells very fishy to me and I wouldn't bet on that they are going to honor the deal in a year or beyond.

Apr 21, 2026We didn’t abandon the project; we pivoted. The original Digital First AI was built as a static tool for funnels and tactics. As AI evolved, we realized that tech was becoming obsolete. To keep your investment relevant, we spent the last year building a completely different, significantly more powerful, and—frankly—more expensive engine: DFIRST. It wasn’t just a UI update. We moved from simple prompts to an agentic Marketing OS capable of running complex, multi-step workflows that the old system simply couldn't handle.
We’ve already successfully migrated over 400 users who filled out our migration form. We are honoring those AppSumo tiers by moving users into this new infrastructure, which costs us much more to maintain due to the high-end models we’ve integrated. If we were looking to "abandon" people, we wouldn't be doing the heavy manual lifting of moving thousands of accounts over to a better system.
Additionally, you mentioned you could get similar results by sending multiple requests to a popular LLM. While you could do that, DFIRST is built so you don't have to.
It chains research, scraping, and generation together in a way that saves hours of manual prompt engineering. It stores your brand DNA in a Strategy Hub so every output remains consistent without you re-explaining your business every time.
We recently reduced credit consumption across the board to make the platform even more sustainable for our users. We’re pushing updates every single week, and you can track exactly what we’re doing here: https://dfirst.ai/changelog.
