I'm not a chunky wad of cash.

This is OK for keyword research on Youtube and has some interesting features even if you don't splurge for the tier 3 (which I did) where you get the AdSpy thingamajig.

There are many login bugs and sessions crash pretty frequently. The app is slow at times. None of these have been fixed and they have been noted here in AppSumo too for a while now.

Most of the time on AS we decide to go for a product it is because we believe it has potential. This one doesn't - at least not for Sumolings. You only get what they offer now. It is used as a platform for being upsold to and the value won't grow in time.

I have been bombarded with upsell emails for courses at extremely overinflated prices in the 1000s. I feel that I'm seen as a fat wad of cash looking for a wallet to crawl into.

Instead of fixing the bugs, a new feature was launched. The AI segment feature was just introduced this week. After receiving a dozen emails about the feature I hoped would be included in the top-tier LTD, it was launched at a "discounted" price of $1997/year down from $3,564/year and $2997 /year down from $5,964/year for the two options.

While I'm all for making money, these prices need a digit knocked off at a minimum. I wouldn't have considered buying the LTD if I had a feel for this pricing philosophy beforehand. What worries me is that with the high prices, their volume won't justify future investment and the LTD's future will be at stake.

It's a shame because this space could do with a hero product but at this pricing I don't see this happening. Let's hope they reconsider their approach and make it a star.
