Remember my concern about AppSumo?

Well, I decided to give it a try. Is it worth it? Let me walk you through my experience.
For the context AppSumo is a digital marketplace that offers software deals and discounts primarily aimed at entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses. It allows companies to promote their products at a significantly reduced price, often between 75% to 99% off, in exchange for exposure to a huge user base. Buyers can access premium tools at a fraction of the cost, though the deals are typically time-limited.
Let’s back to my journey now. First, you need to fill out a questionnaire, after which an AppSumo representative contacts you to ask a few additional questions and ensure you fully understand their pricing policy: you will earn 40% on each commission (more if your SaaS is the first payment made by an App Sumo user). On a recommendation, I inflated the price of NextJSDirectory so I could sell my boilerplate at a reasonable price on AppSumo.
