Picture this: You’re a budding entrepreneur hunting for the best tools without breaking the bank. Then you stumble upon AppSumo Plus — a membership that sounds like your secret weapon with exclusive discounts, early bird access to deals, and a community buzzing with innovation. Katie Weeks, who manages Plus, describes it as not just a subscription but a gateway for ambitious creators to get ahead. Let’s unpack what makes Plus more than just a discount program.
Why AppSumo Plus Stands Out in the World of Deals
When it comes to snagging the best software deals online, AppSumo Plus is in a league of its own. For entrepreneurs, creators, and business owners who want to maximize their savings and gain exclusive access to powerful tools, Plus offers a value-packed membership that goes far beyond standard discounts. Here’s why AppSumo Plus is the go-to choice for serious deal hunters and growth seekers.
10% Off Every AppSumo Purchase—Instantly
One of the most compelling reasons to join AppSumo Plus is the 10% off deals applied to every purchase, no matter the size. Whether you’re buying your first tool or stocking up during a major sale, this discount is automatically applied at checkout. Over the course of a year, these savings add up, making Plus a smart investment for anyone who regularly shops for software or digital products.
Quarterly Coupons: $100 in Annual Savings
AppSumo Plus members receive $100 worth of coupons—delivered as $25 every 90 days. This quarterly coupon system ensures ongoing value, giving members a reason to check back and save throughout the year. The first $25 coupon drops instantly when you sign up or renew, and then you’ll keep getting more, making it easy to stack savings on top of your 10% discount.
Exclusive Access to KingSumo and SendFox
Efficiency is key for entrepreneurs, and AppSumo Plus delivers with exclusive access to KingSumo and SendFox lifetime Tier 1 licenses for the duration of your membership. KingSumo helps you run viral giveaways to grow your audience, while SendFox is an easy-to-use email marketing platform. Both tools are included at no extra charge, giving you even more value for your $99 annual subscription.
Special Plus-Only Deals and Early Access
AppSumo Plus isn’t just about discounts—it’s about unlocking doors to new opportunities. Members get:
Early access to select deals before they go public, often at lower prices
Extended access to popular deals after they close for non-members
Exclusive Plus-only deals with special pricing or unique features
Extra time to purchase during major sales like Sumo Day and Black Friday
This means you never miss out on the hottest tools and can take advantage of unique offers tailored just for Plus members.
Community, Support, and Extra Protection
Beyond savings, Plus members tap into The Sauce—a private community of tech-savvy entrepreneurs and AppSumo staff. Here, you can network, share feedback, and access a library of masterclasses and webinars. Plus also offers VIP support and enhanced purchase protection, including a 100% refund in credits if a Select tool goes out of business within a year.
Katie Weeks, Senior Subscription Manager, says, “Plus isn't just about discounts — it's about opening doors for serious growth seekers.”
With a $99 annual fee, non-refundable after rewards are used, AppSumo Plus delivers unmatched value through continuous savings, exclusive discounts, quarterly coupons, and access to essential entrepreneurial tools like KingSumo and SendFox.
Early and Extended Access: The VIP Pass for Deal Hunters
If you’re serious about snagging the best software deals before they disappear, AppSumo Plus delivers the ultimate VIP experience. With Early Access, Extended Access, and Last Call privileges, Plus members get a front-row seat to the hottest offers—often before anyone else even knows they exist.
Unlock Early Access: Beat the Crowd to Select Deals
Imagine seeing a must-have tool at a jaw-dropping price—before it hits the main stage. That’s the power of Early Access with AppSumo Plus. Members get the chance to purchase handpicked Select deals at lower prices, days before the general public. This exclusive window means you can test-drive new tools, secure lifetime deals, and avoid the frustration of missing out on limited-quantity offers.
'Getting early access is like having backstage passes to the best shows in town,' says Katie Weeks, Senior Subscription Manager at AppSumo Plus.
With Early Access, you’re not just shopping—you’re strategically investing in your business growth, ahead of the competition.
Extended Access: 72 Extra Hours to Seal the Deal
Ever had your eye on a deal, only to realize you missed the deadline? Extended Access is a game-changer for deal hunters who need a little more time to decide. AppSumo Plus members enjoy an extra 72 hours after a deal’s official end date to make their purchase. This extended window is perfect for busy entrepreneurs who want flexibility without the pressure of a ticking clock.
Extended Access isn’t just about convenience—it’s about maximizing your opportunities. Those extra three days can make all the difference when you’re weighing options or waiting for feedback from your team.
Last Call: A Second Chance at Sold-Out Favorites
Some deals are so popular, they sell out in a flash. That’s where Last Call comes in. AppSumo Plus members get exclusive access to previously sold-out or ended tools, giving them a rare second shot at securing fan favorites. Whether you missed out the first time or want to revisit a deal you passed on, Last Call keeps the door open just a little longer.
Maximize Your Deal-Hunting Power
Early Access: Shop Select deals before the public, often at lower prices.
Extended Access: Enjoy 72 extra hours post-deal to make your move.
Last Call: Grab popular tools that have sold out or ended.
Quarterly Coupons: Plus members receive $25 every 90 days, boosting their buying power.
With these exclusive perks, AppSumo Plus members can participate early, act decisively, and avoid the dreaded ‘deal FOMO’ that comes with fleeting lifetime and flash offers. For deal hunters, this VIP pass is the ultimate way to stay ahead and maximize every opportunity.
The Sauce: More Than Just a Community
When you join AppSumo Plus, you’re not just unlocking discounts—you’re stepping into a thriving private community designed for entrepreneurs, founders, and creators who are serious about growth. This exclusive hub, known as The Sauce, is where connections are made, feedback shapes the future, and learning never stops.
A Private Entrepreneur Network Built for Growth
With over 27,000 active Plus members, The Sauce is a bustling entrepreneur network where you can connect with like-minded business owners, startup founders, and AppSumo staff. Here, members openly share their experiences, swap strategies, and offer support—making it a true ecosystem for collaboration and success. Whether you’re looking to solve a challenge, find a partner, or simply get inspired, The Sauce is your go-to place.
Katie Weeks, Senior Subscription Manager at AppSumo Plus, calls The Sauce "your new favorite corner of the internet where serious growth happens."
Exclusive Access to Masterclasses, AMAs, and Industry Events
Education and growth are at the heart of The Sauce. As a Plus member, you’ll receive exclusive invites to:
Live masterclasses led by industry experts
Interactive AMAs (Ask Me Anything) with founders and successful entrepreneurs
Specialized workshops and webinars focused on the latest business trends
Missed a live session? No problem. The Sauce offers a rich video library with 50+ recorded masterclasses and demos you can access anytime. This on-demand content ensures you’re always learning, whether you’re scaling your business or just starting out.
Direct Feedback Channels & Product Influence
One of the most powerful aspects of The Sauce is the direct line it gives you to the AppSumo team. Members can share feedback, request new tools, and suggest features—and these insights directly influence what AppSumo brings to the table. This two-way communication ensures that the platform evolves with its community’s needs, making every member’s voice count.
Support, Collaboration, and Real Connections
The Sauce isn’t just another online group—it’s a support ecosystem. Members interact daily with AppSumo staff and fellow Plus subscribers, offering advice, celebrating wins, and troubleshooting challenges together. This sense of belonging and shared ambition is what sets The Sauce apart from other entrepreneur networks.
From exclusive content and expert-led events to a vibrant, engaged community, The Sauce is a core benefit of AppSumo Plus. It’s where deals meet real-world support, and where every entrepreneur has a seat at the table.
Purchase Protection and VIP Support: Peace of Mind Included
One of the standout benefits of AppSumo Plus is the unmatched peace of mind it delivers through robust Purchase Protection and VIP Support. For entrepreneurs and creators who are constantly exploring new SaaS tools, these features are more than just perks—they’re essential safeguards that make every purchase smarter and safer.
Double the Protection: 100% Credit Refund on Select Tools
Trying out new software can feel risky, especially when investing in tools from emerging companies. AppSumo Plus addresses this head-on by offering double the purchase protection compared to standard customers. If a Select tool you’ve purchased through AppSumo Plus goes out of business within one year of your purchase, you’ll receive a 100% refund in AppSumo credits. Non-Plus customers, by contrast, receive only a 50% credit refund under the same circumstances.
100% credit refund for Plus members if a Select tool closes within 1 year
50% credit refund for non-Plus members
Protection applies for one year from the deal date
This enhanced protection means you can confidently experiment with new products and services, knowing your investment is secure. As Katie Weeks, Senior Subscription Manager at AppSumo Plus, puts it:
"Knowing your investment is protected lets you experiment without fear," highlights Katie Weeks.
VIP Support: Fast, Priority Help When You Need It
Alongside superior purchase protection, AppSumo Plus members enjoy VIP Support designed to resolve issues quickly and efficiently. When you submit an initial query, your request is prioritized for a response that’s twice as fast as the standard support queue. This means less waiting and more doing—crucial for busy entrepreneurs who can’t afford delays.
Priority support for all initial queries
Targeted 2x faster response times for Plus members
Direct access to knowledgeable support staff
Speedy, reliable support not only improves satisfaction but also empowers members to resolve challenges and make the most of their deals without unnecessary friction. Whether you’re troubleshooting a new tool or have questions about your purchase, VIP Support ensures you’re never left in the dark.
Safe Investments for SaaS Explorers
With AppSumo Plus Purchase Protection and VIP Support, members can confidently explore, test, and adopt new SaaS products. This safety net reduces the risk of trying innovative tools, making it easier to stay ahead in a fast-moving digital landscape. The combination of 100% credit refunds and priority support transforms every deal into a low-risk, high-reward opportunity—giving you the confidence to grow your business without hesitation.
Is AppSumo Plus Worth It? Crunching the Numbers and Intangibles
When it comes to deciding if AppSumo Plus is worth the investment, it’s important to look at both the hard numbers and the less tangible perks. The yearly plan for AppSumo Plus costs $99, and while there’s no refund after you start using the benefits, the value can quickly add up—especially for frequent buyers and entrepreneurs who thrive on lifetime deals and early access to new tools.
Let’s break down the math. The headline perk is a 10% discount on every AppSumo purchase. If you typically buy $49 lifetime deals, you’d need to make about 21 purchases per year to break even on the membership fee. For power users or agencies who snap up deals regularly, reaching this threshold is realistic. But the numbers don’t stop there. Plus members also receive $100 in AppSumo coupons, delivered as $25 every 90 days. That means the coupons alone can offset the entire cost of the yearly plan, making the subscription a no-brainer for anyone who plans to use AppSumo throughout the year.
But what about the intangibles? This is where AppSumo Plus really shines. Members get exclusive access to deals, extended shopping windows during major events like Sumo Day and Black Friday, and early access to select lifetime deals. These perks are more than just nice-to-haves—they can be game changers for entrepreneurs who want to stay ahead of the curve and secure the best software before it sells out.
Another standout benefit is the access to The Sauce, AppSumo’s private community. Here, members can connect with like-minded founders, share feedback, and even influence future deals. The community aspect opens doors to networking, collaboration, and learning opportunities that are hard to quantify but incredibly valuable for anyone serious about business growth. As Katie Weeks, Senior Subscription Manager at AppSumo Plus, puts it:
“If you’re serious about growth, Plus is an investment in yourself and your business.”
Purchase protection is another key factor. Plus members enjoy a year of deal purchase protection—if a Select tool goes out of business, you get a 100% refund in credits (compared to 50% for non-members). Add in VIP support and free access to tools like KingSumo and SendFox, and the ROI becomes even more compelling.
Ultimately, AppSumo Plus is best suited for frequent deal hunters, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to maximize their AppSumo experience. The cost is easy to justify for regular buyers, and the intangible benefits—community, early access, and extra protection—add a layer of value that goes far beyond simple discounts. If you’re looking to unlock the full power of AppSumo, Plus is a smart investment in your business’s future.
