I am really sorry you feel that way. But you have to understand this is a lifetime campaign with a 92% discount. If you really use the app we will lose money over time. So if we do not get at least 1 customer from referrals the whole campaign doesn't work. That branding pays for the app being so cheap. It makes it possible to make such an incredible lifetime deal possible. Otherwise it is mathematically impossible to provide so much value for $60 (Tier 3 Price - the Appsumo fee). You get lifetime hosting, video streaming, website builder, AI, email marketing, free API usage and a ton of other tools. The cost of this is real. Even if you don't use your account at all.
To be fair there is no page where you can see 5 skillplate logos. The maximum you can see is a logo in the player and a powered by skillplate link in the footer.
We had promised to provide white-label at $999. (Remember this is not just a small tool but an all-in-one platform that includes a big number of apps that you would otherwise have to pay a monthly fee for. And you can't vibe code them because they have real costs involved.)
We finally finally figured out a way to provide the white-label at the lowest price possible in order to make sure the platform will not go bankrupt from this deal. This is the absolute maximum we can give.
I would give more but the math doesn't allow it.
Every action we have taken up to this point backs that statement completely. Everything that can be free is free. The "powered by Skillplate" We even pays you a 30% commission for the referral. Indefinitely. So you can get more than the app and the white-label from 1 referral.
On the other hand, absolutely any business that has customers and really needs a white-label can afford to pay $299 to hide the platform they are using if they need to. Most don't need to do that.
We have taken your feedback, discussed it and even took action on it.
We also have to be fair that about calling this over branding. If a small link in the footer is over-branding what is minimal branding? The only 2 places where users can see Skillplate is the video player (which you can change if you want) and the link in the footer. On most pages it is really just a link in the footer. So if that is over-branding what is minimal branding? Remember this link basically pays for the 92% discount and if we get 1 customer from it we will even pay you more than you paid us.

I fully understand that you think it should be cheaper. But it just cannot be because the business model mathematics do not allow it. If they did it would have been cheaper I swear it.
