AppSumo Plus Yearly Plan Reviews

We purchased the Yapper AppSumo Select lifetime deal at Tier 4, clearly advertised with 15,000 recurring monthly credits.

However, just one week after the Black Friday sale, our “lifetime” plan was unilaterally downgraded to a one‑time bucket of 40,000 credits, supplemented only by a minor discount on future purchases.

This isn’t a small tweak—it’s a wholesale change to the economics of what we bought:

The original Tier 4 lifetime plan’s value was more than double that of Yapper’s standard Creator package.
The downgraded “lifetime” plan is not just inequivalent; it is substantially worse, offering significantly less value than what we were sold and, in many realistic usage scenarios, worse than just buying Yapper’s own Creator plan directly.
For an AppSumo Select deal—promoted heavily over Black Friday—this is unacceptable. AppSumo should take responsibility for a Select partner gutting the core value of a lifetime deal a week after the sale ends, instead of hiding behind the refund policy and acting like nothing is wrong.

Given this experience:

Affected AppSumo Plus members should seriously consider canceling their Plus memberships, assuming a prorated refund is possible.
Since AppSumo has failed to support its customers and stand behind a Select lifetime deal that was materially changed right after Black Friday, a boycott of the platform is also a justifiable response.
At this point, AppSumo Plus feels about as valuable as a few measly single‑ply sheets of toilet paper after a hard night out eating really bad one‑star tacos—a nice idea on the sales page, but not something you’d rely on when things actually get messy.

Al principio se me hizo elevado el precio, pero después me di cuenta que te regresan 25 dólares cada 3 meses, para comprar productos.
Lo único que no me gusta es que no es acumulable con otras promociones, por ejemplo ahorita que está el cupón del BalckFriday, tienes que escoger uno u otro.
Ojala y pudiera ser acumulable.

I have purchased roughly 40 products from AppSumo in one year. Today I use around 10.
In some cases, promised features never appeared. Other times, the websites of the software developers were down rendering their software unusable. Another time, when I had to present different survey results for a company with a headcount of over 1000 employees, I could not access my information. Eventually, I did get a response and they fixed the issue, but by then I had to manually restore my results from drafts I had shared with some managers in order to make the presentation.
Questions here have gone unanswered, and worse, "moderated" in a way that feels like censorship.
I will probably use my last $25 coupon, but I will not renew AppSumo Plus. It has been quite a disappointment. I do hope they improve.

I missed two 25 coupons because they say let's say Ends on and it ends before that date. The line it up horribly with sales that they have, so you cannot use your coupon. Appsumo has gone downhill!

Everything app/software is now is 400+ to get a good true value.

And don't get me started with Ai AI ai Ai Ai aI

Used it for the discount but have also found some great insight on the available courses and annual plan only software options. Worth every penny so far
