Platform Has Potential, But AppSumo Suppressed My Honest Review

I'll keep this factual.
My previous review on Dynal.AI was declined by AppSumo, not because it was inaccurate, dishonest, or violated community standards in any meaningful way. It was declined because I critiqued a structural limitation in the product's tier model.

31 users upvoted that review as helpful before it was removed. That number matters. It tells you other buyers recognized the same issue.

The product issue (still valid):
Dynal.AI allows you to connect 3, 10, or 20 LinkedIn accounts across higher tiers, but Brand DNA allocations don't scale proportionally. Tier 2 gives you 3 accounts with 1 Brand DNA. Tier 3 gives you 10 accounts with 2 Brand DNAs. Tier 4 gives you 20 accounts with 3 Brand DNAs.
If you're managing multiple clients or brands, which is precisely the use case higher tiers imply, this creates a structural mismatch. Brand Voice is not optional. It's the foundation of consistent, credible content. One Brand DNA cannot meaningfully serve multiple distinct identities.

This isn't a missing feature. It's a design decision that undermines the value proposition of upgrading.
The AppSumo issue:
AppSumo's stated reason for declining: the review focused on "features not included in your purchase."

Brand DNA is included in every tier. The critique was about allocation ratios, not about features outside the purchase scope. The distinction matters.

When 31 buyers independently validate a review as helpful, and it still gets declined, that signals a moderation standard that protects vendor optics over buyer transparency.
AppSumo's value as a marketplace depends entirely on review integrity. Buyers rely on honest peer feedback to make $69,$299 decisions. Suppressing structurally valid criticism, regardless of policy framing, erodes that trust.

My recommendation:
If you're managing a single brand or personal LinkedIn presence, Dynal.AI has real potential and is worth exploring at Tier 1.
If you're an agency or multi-brand operator, audit the Brand DNA limits against your actual use case before purchasing a higher tier.

And if your AppSumo review gets declined for legitimate product feedback, know that you're not alone.

I totally lost my trust in AppSumo

As a serial entrepreneur, I find this answer strange. It is up to the user to decide what to focus on, and I am not building my companies alone. I still do not see how this justifies limiting Brands versus connections, and the credits per connection do not add up. A startup that refuses to listen to its users is setting itself up to fail. I rest my case.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We can’t comment on AppSumo’s review moderation, but we do understand the request for a 1:1 match between LinkedIn profiles and Brand DNA, so we’d like to share the thinking behind our current limits.

When we first designed Brand DNA, the idea of a “brand” was closer to a company brand than a personal brand. One Brand DNA is meant to be the foundation for generating on-brand posts, and those posts can be distributed across multiple LinkedIn profiles and pages tied to the same company (for example, the company page plus team members like the founder, co-founder, marketing, etc.).

We also believe people’s time and attention are limited, and that it is better to focus on doing one thing well and growing one brand or company consistently. That is why we intentionally limit the number of Brand DNA profiles. Initially, we kept Brand DNA at 1, but some users felt 1 was too few, so we increased the Brand DNA limits for Tier 3 and Tier 4.

At the moment, while the product supports connecting multiple LinkedIn accounts, it is not a true team collaboration product yet. Allowing multiple connected LinkedIn accounts within a tier is closer to the use case of one company with multiple employees publishing publicly, rather than many unrelated brands.

The current plans are essentially an early-stage offering. As the product matures, we might introduce a Team plan and an Enterprise plan further down the road, and those would naturally come with higher pricing.
