AppSumo
Depends on your product. The reach is real, but you are giving up revenue share plus a permanent cohort of lifetime users — worth it only if your margins survive a deep discount and you actively want the review volume.

Who actually reads it
AppSumo buyers are solo founders, freelancers, agencies and small teams hunting for tools at a one-off price. They buy fast and in volume, and they leave reviews. They are also the least likely cohort to convert to a recurring plan later, so treat the audience as a cash-and-feedback channel, not a pipeline of long-term subscribers.
What a strong listing looks like
A deal page that states plainly what the lifetime tier includes and what it does not — the reviews turn hostile when limits surface after purchase. Show real product UI, list the exact tier limits, and answer the "what happens when you raise prices" question up front. Have support capacity ready before launch day; the volume arrives immediately.

Frequently asked questions
Does it cost anything to list?
There is no listing fee. AppSumo takes a revenue share on every deal sold, so the cost is in margin, not up front.
Do I have to offer a lifetime deal?
AppSumo strongly prefers lifetime deals — that is what its audience comes for. Other promotion types exist but get far less placement.
