I bought the software some months ago. I did not have time to test it, but back then I was able to get a list from it. Now, checking in, I wanted to use it because now I really have a purpose in mind, only to find out the function I was buying it for does not exist anymore. Where do I get the leads list from now? Did they announce it? Did they write it somewhere, or did I just miss it? I don’t know, but as of now, I have to give it 1 star as unfortunately, I wasted my money for nothing. I have 1 list, so it worked in the past, but I guess for those 50 contacts, which by the way probably only 10% are usable, I guess this was the worst ROI of an app I have ever gotten.
As many others have already said, this tool is no longer what it used to be, and my LTD account is pretty much useless. There's literally no way to find leads anymore, and the tool's description was: "UseArtemis is an email and phone number finding tool. It helps users find almost anyone's contact details in just a second. The hunt for contact information ends here!" What a joke.
I have 7,000 credits that do nothing because "You need to upgrade to a monthly subscription to use this." Absolutely disgraceful, and what a shame on AppSumo for allowing scammers like this on their platform. Zero communication from both UseArtemis and AppSumo.
There HAS to be some sort of contract between a service and AppSumo that says if a service removes the core features within X years, then we should be able to opt for a full refund. Because this is nowhere near what I paid for.
I feel I have been scammed by both UseArtemis and AppSumo on this one.
I've been a UseArtemis user since its launch. At launch and during the 1st year, it was too good to be true, with a reported enrichment rate of 60 / 70%, sometimes more. This was due to the fact that he was using the APIs of well-known solutions such as dropcontact, apollo and others. This enabled him to build up a more or less static database based on enrichment by Appsumo customers (win ton win).
There was a major update several months ago, for which Samuel and his staff decided to separate enrichment by their database from enrichment by API (what he now calls email cascade). The “email cascade” function is only available with a paid subscription: a big shot in the arm for appsumo users.
As a result, Appsumo customers now have credits sometimes in the tens of thousands, for a mediocre enrichment rate of around 30%. On top of this enrichment, there are always a certain number of gmail, hotmail, etc. addresses that rot your prospecting list. I'd like to point out that I've just tested the enrichment on 2 lists and IT SIMPLY NO LONGER WORKS. I don't know if it's a temporary problem (I've contacted support with no response so far), which wouldn't surprise me: it's one of the most buggy pieces of software I've bought from Appsumo.
The chrome extension often bugs, even crashes the browser or causes a disconnection from linkedin. I've just reinstalled it to test it before writing my review (yes, I'm still giving the software a chance), and the information search function simply doesn't work. I haven't tested scraping, which worked fine back then despite a few teething problems.
One last thing: linkedin campaigns were advertised on Appsumo, but this part of the site has totally taken over from the database aspect. I haven't tested the campaigns, because given all the bugs I've encountered since the beginning, I don't trust the security of my linkedin account.
I'm French so it pains me to say it, but this is the worst appsumo purchase I've ever made.
I bought useartemis a year ago, and the product has received almost zero updates. Answers asked on the facebook group never got any response. And the few updates it has received were all offered behind a paywall.
Some features disappeared, and at some point I found my linkedin account hacked twice, nd it stopped only When I removed the integration with useartemis??
The worst product I bought so far on appsumo, despite being a generous offer at start.

Samuel took the Appsumo community for pigeons.
