To get things started, here's a recent cold email @Akhil Ramesh got from AppSumo. It seems these guys are now offering 90/70% rev share (as opposed to 30%). So if any of you get an offer from them, you have something to counter with 😄 Does anyone have any other cool cold email screenshots to share?

I was reached out to a few weeks ago but with an (admittedly) much worse revenue share cut. Does anyone have any recommendations for how they would price a lifetime subscription for a saas? I’m currently charging $9 per month or $89 per year.

Very interesting. My SaaS is priced at $3.99/mo and $39.99/yr.

I hear a lot of people talking about AppSumo lately but I didn't pay much attention until now. I've just accessed their site and it looks nice but it's not very clear. How does it work? What's the rev/share?

@Joe Masilotti https://Tally is priced at $24/month and $240/year, and we are experimenting with a lifetime deal of $120/life

@Marie per year? the rep i spoke with only mentioned doing a lifetime subscription - as in pay once use forever.

Sorry, typo, $120 for life indeed

got it, thanks! are you worried at all about supporting a large number of lifetime customers that could rack up support and server costs? or am i thinking too far ahead here

It's https://tally.so

got it. thanks for the insight! i’d love to hear how appsumo goes if you go through with it and how many deals you set aside. i’m debating experimenting the same with my saas but am worried i’ll just be creating more work for myself in the long run

Yeah same here, I'll definitely keep you posted, it might only be in Q1 2021 though

We've been accepted, but they don't mention the rev / share, fee or anything. I think this is because we will be listed in the community marketplace, but I don't know why. I asked them but well, the truth is that I find it difficult to understand how this whole thing works and if it's worth the time to set up the appsumo plan and the redemption gateway.

Seems like we have to drive our own traffic to the marketplace listing. It's different from the standard promos.

Yes and most products have 0 to 10 reviews, so we won't probably have much exposure if we don't drive traffic ourselves. I will try it in any case and let's see how it goes.
