Q: Refunding all LTD buyers or just Appsumo buyers?

Are you refunding the $350 LTDs you sold direct from your site too? Or just Appsumo buyers?

I find it a bit hard to buy that it is just a miscalculation, to go from unlimited, to 200 p/d, to not being able to support any quota whatsoever for Appsumo LTD buyers and force refunding. How could the miscalculation be this drastic?

Appsumo buyers benefit:
- on another mail list / database
- spent time researching, buying, redeeming, testing, giving feedback
- can get our money back after conversion rate fees for non USD cards (often 6-7% lost round trip due to double conversion)

A: Hi,

Thank you for your message and for sharing your concerns—completely understandable given the situation.

To clarify: only AppSumo buyers are being refunded. This decision was made because the revenue from the AppSumo LTD deal, after their commission, is significantly lower and unfortunately not sufficient to cover the infrastructure and operational costs required to sustain PulpMiner.

Buyers who purchased directly from our site paid a higher rate, which helps contribute toward the ongoing infrastructure expenses. That’s why direct LTDs will continue to be honored.

I completely understand that it feels frustrating—especially with how things evolved from “unlimited” to quota-based, and eventually to forced refunds for some. The original vision simply turned out to be unsustainable at AppSumo pricing, and instead of quietly degrading service or compromising the product, I decided to refund those customers in full.

I sincerely appreciate the time and trust you placed in trying PulpMiner. None of this has been easy to communicate, but I wanted to be honest and fair in how we move forward.

Thank you again for your feedback.
