kiwilaunch Reviews

My experience with Kiwilaunch has been extremely disappointing and misleading from start to finish.

The features shown on their AppSumo product page simply do not exist in the actual version I received. The setup options and booking features they advertise, including the quote-style funnel shown in their screenshots are nowhere to be found in the real product. After spending hours trying to make it work, I’m still unable to recreate what was promised at the time of purchase.

What’s worse, Kiwilaunch expects customers to pay additional third-party developers to get the product properly configured, even though it was marketed as a lifetime deal (LTD) with “no technical setup required.” On top of that, they still charge a 10% commission on top of the LTD, which makes absolutely no sense.

I contacted support multiple times, but instead of providing clear guidance or accountability, I was told that assisted onboarding isn’t offered, even though the advertised setup experience was meant to be simple and self-guided.

This experience has made me seriously question the credibility of AppSumo’s listings and reviews. If AppSumo continues to promote products like this, it undermines buyer trust across the entire platform.

I’ve left my feedback publicly because it’s unacceptable for AppSumo and Kiwilaunch to market a product one way and deliver something completely different, all while wasting customers’ time and money.

In short: misleading marketing, missing features, poor support, and a complete mismatch between what’s sold and what’s delivered. I am leaving this review in Oct 2025. Hope this concern gets addressed!

Thank you for responding, but your reply doesn’t address the real issue. My concern is not about technical skill or comfort with setup. The problem is that the features shown in your AppSumo listing simply don’t exist in the actual version of Kiwilaunch available to buyers. The product visuals and marketing clearly present a quote-style booking flow, yet the platform itself doesn’t include that functionality.

I work with a web developer, and even he couldn’t locate the options or tools required to recreate what’s shown in your product images. That alone should show this isn’t about the users technical experience but rather misleading advertising and unclear product tutorial information.

You mentioned Kiwilaunch doesn’t operate as a quote-style funnel, but that distinction was never made clear on AppSumo. The listing gives the impression that those features are included. Buyers should not have to hire a third-party developer to achieve what was promoted as a no-code, ready-to-use solution.

Your explanation about the 1% commission and assisted onboarding doesn’t change the fact that what was marketed and what was delivered are not the same. My feedback stands: Kiwilaunch and AppSumo should update the product page to accurately reflect the platform’s actual capabilities so future buyers are not misled and do not waste time on something that is listed as a no code LTD.

So far they did not offer a genuine solution, only explanations and justifications.

Almost all or all therapy and life coaching platforms support 1) self scheduling, 2) comprehensive intake forms, 3) esigned paperwork, and 4) client portals. I can do workarounds for a few of these, but I found it odd that self scheduling, a key feature on competitors' platforms, is not only missing, but will not be considered in future.

I also found it odd that the founder will not consider a WYSIWYG or rich text editor for confirmation and reminder emails, which was the dealbreaker for me.

See, kiwilaunch can't support intake forms that have conditional logic (and I have my reasons for needing this). That is fine, I can direct the client elsewhere to fill out. They also can't support esigned documents and again, that's okay since I can do the same redirecting. But what I am not going to do, is send the client a block of plain text wedged at the top of a confirmation email that looks like a run on sentence because I need to give instructions as to where to go because certain features are not available. It not only looks unprofessional, but limits accessibility. Some people may be fine with being on the phone to provide information but some will need clear and styled written emails to know what is going to happen next.

It's a shame since there is a lot of great stuff here. I just don't think its a competitor in the life coaching/therapy space. Or maybe that's just me and my business. I can see the value of the platform for other business types though, and for people who don't mind doing the manual work!

Also wanted to note that the response time is... uneven. It can take 2 hours or 2 days. Not a huge issue, but I wish it was more clear. The chat says it will take a "few hours" and yet 2 out of the 4 times I messaged, that wasn't the case.

This has been perfect for my little yoga business! My customers love the ease of searching for my upcoming classes, the payments are easy, the dashboard and analytics is easy to understand, and the look and feel is really clean. 10/10!

Not ready. Lacking the most basic, common sense function like duplicate/copy paste.
Imagine you have a range of date, say 22 dates, three times that day. You have to create EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Duplicate is basic.

I am not impressed or happy. I am leaving appsumo, a platform not worth spending money on, and I wanted to finish my credit on here. I thought my last purchase was this. But no.
Now I have to refund and still have credit on appsumo. Ugh.

As furious as I am with lacking in accountability appsumo, I'm still not going to keep a software that I foresee will frustrated me.
Two stars: one for simplicity. One for good service.
Not impressed. But thanks. Refunding.

This deal is awesome. For the value it offers, you cant sleep on it. Awesome service, simple to setup and understand, straightforward and just wonderful overall. I would have loved the option to move a few pieces around on the booking page tho. Still it is a solid 5 taco deal.
