Q: Where is the Appsumo tab on Taplink?
There was usually a tab called "Appsumo" in Taplink settings, where we could send invitations to 5 accounts with this lifetime deal. The tab disappeared and the link https://taplink.at/en/appsumo/ no longer works. I did not use all the invitations I was entitled to and would like to continue to use them, after all, that was one of the features of the deal. Will you restore this option or who has not sent all invitations lost this right?

Aug 18, 2025A: Hi everyone, thank you for sharing your concerns here. We’d like to clarify this situation openly and respectfully.
When Taplink launched on AppSumo back in 2020–2021, the official deal terms — which were published directly on the AppSumo–Taplink page — required that all codes be redeemed within 60 days. This is a standard rule across AppSumo deals, designed to protect both buyers and partners.
For a long time, we went far beyond these requirements and kept the redemption interface open for years, allowing users to activate codes long after the official 60-day period. In fact, before closing the AppSumo page, we checked directly with the AppSumo team, and they confirmed that the official redemption window was indeed 60 days. Only a few exceptionally generous partners extend this window voluntarily — but that is not an obligation, only goodwill.
We understand it may feel disappointing if unused codes are no longer redeemable. But please also keep in mind that it has now been 4–5 years since the campaign ended. At this point, the redemption window has been exceeded many times over.
Finally, we also need to note that AppSumo has strict policies prohibiting any resale of codes. Unfortunately, we’ve seen cases of resale attempts, which puts both Taplink and buyers at risk. Since we have no way to distinguish legitimate late activations from resale activity, we had to take the difficult decision to close this loophole.
We truly value everyone who supported Taplink during our AppSumo launch, and we’re grateful for your trust. Our priority is to keep moving forward in line with AppSumo’s policies and to continue improving Taplink for all users.
Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our journey.
— The Taplink Team

Ye, where is the link? The terms stipulates the code on the appsumo page should be executed in 60 days. It did not say the codes on the Taplink page should be executed in 60 days. There is a huge disconnect between Appsumo and Taplink.
donmonchitovaldesI contacted Taplink, and they gave me the same lame excuse. I redeemed my AppSumo code within 60 days, as I usually do with all my purchases here. There was no mention in the deal about redeeming the 5 accounts within a specific time frame. Taplink decided to penalize buyers for no reason. Now they are refusing to restore the right acquired under the terms they themselves established in the LTD.
mattks92@Sergei_Taplink The deal was 1 code for 5 accounts, not 1 code for 5 codes that had to be redeemed within 60 days. This was never mentioned or warned about. The AppSumo code was redeemed on time, no one is complaining about that, it's you who are not fulfilling the agreement. I'm not even going to comment on what you said about selling accounts because that makes your response even more offensive.
First of all, I apologize if my previous response sounded like a personal accusation — that was not the case. The mention of resales was only to explain the situation. Your main code was redeemed on time, but the internal codes also fell under AppSumo’s 60-day rule, as they confirmed. We kept redemption open for over 4 years — far beyond the official period. Thanks for understanding.
@Sergei_Taplink There is no confirmation from AppSumo about this, only about their code. You created this rule recently. And even if it existed, buyers were not given any warning about it. You removed our ability to redeem accounts without telling anyone. The least you should do to honor the offer is to restore the accounts of those who made the purchase and are requesting it.
As I mentioned earlier, I have already contacted AppSumo and asked specifically about the internal codes. If you have contacted them and received a different answer, please let me know — I can follow up with them again to clarify.
@Sergei_Taplink Yes, I contacted AppSumo, and they didn't mention anything about an expiration date for Taplink's internal codes. I would love to see the message you sent them clearly stating that these are Taplink's internal codes and not the code provided by AppSumo, because so far all you've done is deflect your response and place the responsibility on them.

@mattks92, you are exactly right. I agree with everything you said. I don't understand why Taplink doesn't understand the logic. I have 26 internal Taplink account that I will get activated somehow or I will spend a lot of unnecessary money to make a point. I hate when someone cheats me on purpose. I won't stand for it. @Sergei_Taplink, you guys need to do the right thing and activate my 26 accts.
I understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback. As I explained earlier, we had to stop redemptions, but we in no way question your good faith. If you think there’s an exception, please contact AppSumo — we’ll cooperate fully.
I have already contacted AppSumo support several times and explained our situation in detail, including all information about the codes. They recommended that you reach out to their customer support — after that, they will review your requests and get back to me. This is not avoiding responsibility but following their recommendation.

After everyone redeemed their AppSumo code they are off the hook. This has nothing to do with AppSumo anymore. It’s the internal account codes from Taplink that are the problem. I hope that taplink come around and activate the 26 accounts I have codes for. I messaged taplink on the platform specifically. I have to say this isn’t the way to run a business. Yes you read it correct, I have 26 codes
I sent several messages to Taplink support through the platform itself. I only have three accounts to recover, and yet they refuse, giving the same lame excuses. They started by talking about this 60-day deadline that never existed, and now that they see that this justification didn't work, they're saying that the problem is the alleged resale of accounts.
7raderIDI noticed that Taplink doesn’t specify the difference between the AppSumo code and the internal Taplink code. If there isn’t a better solution, it might lead to a lot of one-star reviews on various websites. Kindly use your wisdom, there are many competitors, and it seems you are spreading negativity towards your customers. Good luck guys
I'm sure they know the difference between the codes, and when @Sergei_Taplink said he contacted AppSumo, he probably didn't specify that the codes are internal and not from AppSumo. After all, they are trying to confuse buyers in the same way. Giving Taplink negative reviews is a good start, but I really hope they understand the negativity they are creating and reverse this decision.

I was thinking about something. If I buy a bundle of 30 account codes why would I use them all at once. No one would and taplink knew this also. Now they are trying to say the account codes expire in 60 days, please give us more credit than that…..
Exactly! That doesn't make any sense. Who would buy multiple codes to access dozens of accounts that could only be activated in 60 days? No one would make the purchase if those were the terms of the lifetime deal. As you said, Taplink knows this, and they are just making excuses for not fulfilling the terms of the offer.
Colleagues, thank you for your comments. I’ve already shared the full details about the codes here and with AppSumo support. Their suggestion is simple: let each client share their position directly, and we’ll review it together. You see it one way, we see it another, so a neutral arbiter is needed — AppSumo support. Please reach out to them, and I’ll also follow up in a few days

Hello Team,
I feel this is not quite right. Taplink should consider that many of us purchased the 5-code lifetime subscription with the understanding that a single code could be used initially, while the remaining codes could be saved for future use. This was the expectation we all had during the purchase.
Verified purchaser
By changing this now, it reduces the trust we have in Taplink as well as in AppSumo. Since this is a “lifetime deal”, I kindly request you to clarify what exactly is meant by “lifetime” and to ensure that the original commitment is honored.
I hope you will reconsider this decision in favor of your long-term users and maintain the trust we placed in your product.
Thank you for your understanding
Hi! Just to clarify: “lifetime” means that if you activated codes in your account, it keeps the package as long as Taplink exists. The only issue is Taplink codes not activated in 4 years, though normally activation should be within 60 days. We kept it open all this time. Since some users dispute this, we suggested reviewing it together with AppSumo support.
PUAVPLUSVerified purchaser
Stop the excuses, why don't communicate before and warn us to redeem them? Better for us to lose them, right?
Exactly! If I had known there was a deadline to redeem the accounts (which there never really was), I would have redeemed them as soon as possible. Since there was no deadline specified, I redeemed the accounts as needed, as apparently everyone here was doing, until we were surprised that Taplink decided to remove this option for no real reason.
AJ.PLUS@Sergei_Taplink did an email go out letting us know that our INTERNAL codes had an expiration date?
Many of us have purchased various applications with similar features and the only codes that needed to be redeemed was the AS codes themselves. Not the internal codea from the application for "subaccounts/workspaces".
Please do the right thing and stop blaming Appsumo.
HieronimusVerified purchaser
Sergei, with all due respect, this explanation doesn’t hold up.
When we purchased the Taplink AppSumo LTD, the deal terms were very clear: only the AppSumo codes needed to be redeemed within 60 days. We all did that. Now, years later, Taplink is introducing this idea of “internal codes” having their own expiration date something never mentioned anywhere at the time of purchase.
Verified purchaser
If this rule existed, customers would have redeemed everything immediately. Nobody would buy 30, 50, or 75 accounts only to be forced to redeem them in 60 days — it makes no logical sense. Other LTD SaaS like Webwave, for example, have honored their deals for years without inventing hidden restrictions.
Verified purchaser
Right now, what Taplink is doing feels like moving the goalposts and taking away entitlements we paid for. This isn’t about AppSumo support — this is about Taplink honoring the promises made when we became your early adopters.
Verified purchaser
The fair resolution is simple: restore the remaining accounts/landing pages to every LTD buyer who already redeemed their AppSumo codes. Anything less is a breach of trust.
i have already contacted appsumo support and share this matter in other group forums
Anil_AgrawalPLUSExactly! @Sergei_Taplink, do the right thing and post all the Taplink codes for the accounts under the LTD we purchased back on to our accounts. The 60-day redemption requirement was for AppSumo codes and I had redeemed all those within the 60-day period.
Verified purchaser
At least you can notify us or give us a warning that "its been 4-5 years and you had not redeemed your code, we are giving you a week to redeem all that remaining code or else you will lost all your codes"
I mean a good, loyal and professional brand would do that.
TCH_International_GroupSounds like a class action lawsuit? I bet there are a lot more people in the same situation.
oskar_demonI didn't purchase this deal, but I'm keeping up with the situation. If the codes aren't restored to buyers' accounts, then the Vbout deal I bought with 20 sub-accounts for $700 (and I only used one slot so far) could also revert to a single account. Noted. This means I'll never buy a deal on Appsumo again.
Verified purchaser
If anyone is interested in pursuing this from a legal standpoint you can contact me. Legally this isn’t as the terms stated so there is avenue of approach from that stand point. If AppSumo agrees with Taplink on these illegal terms that means a lot more platforms will have the same problem like the Vbout customers. If someone from AppSumo or Taplink don’t come forward and correct this situation.
Verified purchaser
AppSumo are you guys going to make a statement about all of this.
Hi there,
We’ve already discussed this situation with AppSumo and worked out a compromise solution that I hope will satisfy everyone. I also asked AppSumo to post their own statement here, but they haven’t done so yet. I believe they’ll share it tomorrow (Monday).
