AppSumo is a scam. Partners such as us signup, AppSumo pays for fake signups, reviews and comments to generate better deals and give you the impression their service is legitimate. When you raise questions with the above, without notice they refund all of your customers. Now, you have customers using your software for free, and don’t earn any money from the hundreds of hours supporting the fake AppSumo customers.
Except, they only refund some of your customers, so they still keep some money from you…. (More than the % they would normally take). This has cost us 100+ hours of time, $2000 of sales, and 40 customers. After throwing your brand under the bus to our customers, saying "we breached T&C’s and they don’t want to work with us”, their CEO addresses me "Yo…” and proceeds to laugh and not answer the phone.
After countless emails back and forth to AppSumo, it is clear they are running a dodgy marketplace full of fake users. We have detailed location tracked correspondence, highlighting the AppSumo train of lies. When enough people find out, Karma will prevail on AppSumo, it’s only a matter of time.
