Tried this once and I liked it initially, but then we tend to get glued to finding deals on AppSumo rather than focusing on if the products are even useful. Honestly most products aren't even useful on Appsumo and the LTD/LifetimeDeal they promise, not all startup products survive even 1+ year for Plus membership to allow a full refund if the company goes bust.

Biggest negative of the Plus membership is the $25 x 4 quarters so because they aren't giving you $99 coupon straight away, you have to keep coming back on AppSumo to find good products every quarter and not just buy one product for $99. Due to this, I already lost 2x $25 coupons, but when I needed it, there were no coupons available. And to make use of the 10% discount on Plus membership, you better keep browsing products all the time to find the right product. It is nothing but Amazon for Apps

Also with the advent of AI coding tools, it is way easy to develop your own products now, so let alone Plus membership, but none of the new products on Appsumo feel worth a dime
