nick.kQ: I'll just state this here and leave my 2 cents.
I fully appreciate the fact about your costs with the other apps. You run a business to make a profit in the long run and you cannot simply give things away long term.
From my perspective there is no real "plus" factor to this deal just yet. Keep in mind that there have been many deals in the past offering SEO services on Appsumo and elsewhere that I think many users may be experiencing deal fatigue in this regard.
Some of the other tools in your suite look really great, but the ones you are offering in the deal are not the ones that are garnishing the attention.
Perhaps you can commit to offering the additional apps on "at cost" and "as used" basis or other hybrid arrangement that would allow sumolings to use your tool at a very significant cost reduction that will not abuse your resources. See the recent Sociamonials deal as an example.
For me its not a buy (yet), but I will be paying attention. Good luck in your venture!

Something like this is what we’ll be offering (PAYG or similar), for the other apps.
But it needs to be after the dust settles. I don’t want to just leave existing users coming in, in the lurch.
I appreciate your feedback.
Hi Chris,
The PAYG approach sounds great, I think if we could buy credits as a one off, and use them towards queries used in the other tools would be a win win.
That said, you're telling everyone that this needs to be after the dust settles.. In my opinion, you're shooting yourself in the foot by doing this and hampering the success of your deal on Appsumo by doing that. Work out the costs now, update the deal with the specifics and this will go from a lukewarm trickle of sales to thousands of signups...
That's a fair point.
Give us a few days here to at least get the current users situated, and we'll do our best to expediently finalize details on an upgrade path / PAYG deal.
