I purchased a tier 1, but first decided to navigate the platform with the free plan before activating my code. I thought some of the other reviews were a bit unfair and I wanted to try to bring a somewhat balanced view here. I'll go with a simple list of pros and cons.

PROS
1. The platform seems to be very smooth from a technology standpoint. Everything does what the button or link says it will do. Navigation is intuitive and it's easy to explore and recover your place after that. I enjoy being spending time in it - when I can spare a few minutes.

2. There seem to be a broad enough group of people if what you're looking for is freelance talent. I think for anyone looking to join an ecosystem for spotting promising collab partners - UX specialists, graphic designers, etc - I think it's worth getting a code and rummaging about.

3. The free plan allows you access to at list your profile and attract attention to yourself if you're on the freelancer side of the marketplace. I don't necessarily offer freelance services but I saw a premium SEO project I decided to have a go at. If only to explore some of my recent AI SEO buys in a real world client project context. I've also started exploring some promising partners.

CONS
- The reason for the 2 stars off is primarily that the CURRENT ratio of either spammy or seemingly unsophisticated pitches seems slightly on the high side. I think if they priced their premium offerings a bit higher, and maybe a bit more screening, it would help the platform.

- Considering the cost of the Tier 1 plan, I think so-called "Elite Status" (free members get this with a very affordable upgrade) should be clearly marked for Appsumo purchasers. I hate to feel like I'm always being prompted to upgrade when I've paid for access to platforms.

OVERALL
I think the platform is useful enough now, and promising enough for the future that it's worth at least 1 code. I'm actually considering a second code before the deadline.
