AppSumo Tier 4 Lifetime Deal – Clarification on SEOCrawl.ai Access & Grandfathered Benefits
Dear SEOCrawl Team,
I purchased the Tier 4 AppSumo Lifetime Deal for SEOcrawl in 2023, which was the highest license tier available at the time.
I have recently seen that SEOcrawl has evolved into SEOCrawl.ai, with a significantly expanded product offering including AI/GEO and LLM-related capabilities.
Before proceeding further, I would like to clarify what my original AppSumo Tier 4 lifetime license entitles me to under the terms of the deal.
The AppSumo deal terms specifically stated:
Lifetime access to SEOcrawl
All future Elite Plan updates
If the plan name changes, the deal will be mapped to the new plan name with all accompanying updates
Previous AppSumo customers will be grandfathered into the new feature limits
As a Tier 4 customer, I would therefore like to understand:
Which current SEOCrawl.ai plan is my Tier 4 lifetime license mapped to?
Does my Tier 4 license continue to receive the features and limits of the corresponding current plan, as promised in the original AppSumo terms?
Which of the new SEOCrawl.ai features are included for existing Tier 4 AppSumo customers?
Are there any new features or capabilities that are specifically excluded from my lifetime license? If so, could you please provide the details?
What are the current usage limits and feature entitlements attached to my Tier 4 account?
I would also like to suggest something that could potentially solve the AI usage-cost issue for both SEOCrawl and AppSumo customers.
If SEOCrawl.ai could provide an MCP server, BYOK (Bring Your Own Key), or similar external AI integration, customers could connect their own Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT/OpenAI, or other AI subscriptions and use their own API/AI credits.
This could be a very attractive solution because customers would get access to the new AI capabilities while SEOCrawl would not have to absorb the ongoing LLM/API costs for those requests.
I believe this would also be a great way to preserve the value of the original AppSumo lifetime deals while allowing SEOCrawl to continue developing a sustainable AI-powered product.
I purchased the highest available Tier 4 license in good faith based on the lifetime-access and future-update commitments, so I would really appreciate a clear explanation of how my license is being carried forward into SEOCrawl.ai.
Thank you, and I look forward to your clarification.
Best regards,
Srikanth Reddy

Aug 17, 2026Good morning dear Srikanth and thank you so much for your really nice message with all the feedback. Please find my responses below.
1) Which current SEOCrawl.ai plan is my Tier 4 lifetime license mapped to?
Right now, there is not a direct mapping to any current membership. Probably the closest one would be Tier 4= PRO.
Does my Tier 4 license continue to receive the features and limits of the corresponding current plan, as promised in the original AppSumo terms?
Of course! One of the BIGGEST announcements was the MCP, which is one of the biggest development we have done in all our history with monthly credits for FREE= https://seocrawl.ai/mcp
Which of the new SEOCrawl.ai features are included for existing Tier 4 AppSumo customers?
ALL the new features are automatically added :)
Are there any new features or capabilities that are specifically excluded from my lifetime license? If so, could you please provide the details?
Yes. The ones that require us to pay for= Crawler + AI Tracker. For those options, we have enabled credits so any AppSumo Customer could buy them. Many AppSumo customers are buying them and that way, you pay only EXACTLY for what you need. Those credits do not expire.
What are the current usage limits and feature entitlements attached to my Tier 4 account?
You have all of them under https://app.seocrawl.ai/dashboard/organization
I would also like to suggest something that could potentially solve the AI usage-cost issue for both SEOCrawl and AppSumo customers. If SEOCrawl.ai could provide an MCP server, BYOK (Bring Your Own Key), or similar external AI integration, customers could connect their own Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT/OpenAI, or other AI subscriptions and use their own API/AI credits.
I LOVE this. I will ticket asap with the team so any AppSumo Customer could bring their own key. Thank you so much!!
Big hug from all the team and really appreciate your time and efforts!
