We've been approached by AppSumo asking us to join their platform, and so we're looking into it.
Let us know your experience with having your product on AppSumo and if it is worth it! :)

Not yet - We're chatting with them as well as a post launch option but their more curated launch is like a 75% / 25% rake which feels heavy. Not to mention - from my conversation with their rep - it feels like most successful deals need to be lifetime (and at that rake - it feels like a lot to give away)
Upside - these might be sales / a market that you wouldn't have access to otherwise (that is the main pitch point on their side which is fair)
25% of something is better than 100% of nothing.

@maurizioisendoorn they do if you go into their promoted program - I think it's a sliding scale but it starts around 70% - I am certain just posting on the platform is much lower. I think it's called their "select program" but they do a lot of cool stuff behind the scenes to promote your product etc.
Launching soon!
@maurizioisendoorn yea I think it might be more of a marketing effort VS a revenue play to be entirely frank.
Launching soon!
I am still thinking about it. Working with LTD it's not trivial. You have to split this customer batch to analyze separatedely from the others.
Launching soon!
What is AppSumo? Just a giant SaaS marketplace?
