shubham15Q: Considering buying 9 codes (question5: Do you plan to come back to Sumo?)
1. Does buying 9 codes make all the AI models (integrated within Followr) available to us? or we still need to buy 99$/year to access even more premium models?
If later is the case, then it means there are 3 groups of AI models:
1st being available till code 8
2nd from code 9 and
3rd group of AI models only as a yearly paid add on.
Is this correct? Can you list AI models available in each group?
2. I see lots of reviews saying problem with scheduling. Sad since that's my primary use case. Can you share what exactly you are working on to improve this? Do all other alternatives like Buffer etc. have the same problem since you say it's the API issue not Followr?
3. Why is YouTube approval taking so long?..It's unusual to see here given many smaller apps already implement youtube API.
4. What's your MRR besides lifetime subscriptions?

Jul 28, 2025A: AI Models Access
With 9 codes (Tier 9), you unlock all premium text AI models (like GPT-4.1, Claude 3.5, Gemini, etc.).
Image models are not included in LTD, because of high cost. Premium image models (Ideogram, Recraft, Stability, Flux) are only available through the PLUS plan ($99/year).
So yes, there are 3 groups:
Tier 1–8: Standard models (text + basic image).
Tier 9: Unlocks premium text models.
PLUS plan: Unlocks premium image models.
You can also use your own API keys (BYOK) or a Straico key to access everything without upgrading with us.
Scheduling Issues: Some reviews mentioned errors, mostly due to platform API issues (Meta, LinkedIn, etc.) — common across all tools. We're improving this every week with:
Retry logic
Better error handling
YouTube Approval: We already built the integration. We’re just waiting on Google's final approval, which has been very slow.
We're not sure we're coming back to Appsumo yet.
