AppSumo's deal isn't right for most products

Getting featured on AppSumo means approval, deep discounts, and a significant revenue share — plus the support burden of thousands of discounted users. It's great for some; wrong for most bootstrapped products.

FAQ

Does Foundrs take a percentage?

No — 0%. Revenue is yours. Optional referral commissions go to community members who drive your sales, and you control the rate.

How is the audience different?

AppSumo buyers want steep discounts. Foundrs communities span buyers looking for tools across all pricing types.

Can I do both?

Absolutely — a listing on Foundrs doesn't conflict with any deal platform.
