Alpha betas

Customer feedback drives everything we do at AppSumo, including our process for vetting Select deals. And a lot of that wouldn’t be possible without our devoted Beta-lings. Beta-lings provide candid feedback on products, help influence Partner roadmaps, and contribute to AppSumo’s success. Learn more about the Beta-ling program in this Thought Leadership post by Senior Product Manager, Komal Agarwal.

Toggle, baby, toggle

We’ve added another layer of customization to search results. Now, thanks to our new “AppSumo Select” toggle feature, you'll be able to choose between seeing all of the deals that match your search criteria or just the Select deals. Select deals are tested and vetted by us and a team of outside experts (Beta-lings).

Up to code

Good news for current and future partners (yes, you). Uploading codes is no longer a barrier to submitting your listing. Now the power is in your hands with the ability to upload codes through the partner portal when you're ready. Prepare to glide through the submission flow faster than ever before. Speaking of which, got a product you want to list in our store? Submit it here.
