AppSumo

AppSumo is an online marketplace that curates discounted business software and tools for entrepreneurs. The platform partners with software companies to offer limited-time deals, including lifetime access offers and discounted subscriptions, with a 60-day money-back guarantee. AppSumo emphasizes partner-driven listings where vendors gain new users and feedback while customers access software at reduced prices.

The company serves entrepreneurs and small businesses by aggregating B2B tools across productivity, marketing, and content categories. AppSumo operates an affiliate program (managed via Impact) that lets affiliates promote deals using unique links and creatives, with commission structures that include up to 100% of a sale (capped at $50) for new customers and varying rates for returning customers. AppSumo also runs a membership product (AppSumo Plus) and provides a vendor pathway to list digital products on the marketplace.
