Why wasn't my product accepted?

Our marketplace team reviews every submission against the criteria below. If yours wasn't accepted, it didn't meet one or more of them for our buyers right now.

What happens next

We don't share individual review notes, and we can't reopen a decision by email.
You can apply again 30 days after the decision. Submit it as a new submission from your Partner Portal.
Before you reapply, check your product against every point below. The changes that matter most are usually a lower entry price, a clearer difference from similar tools, and a finished product.

What we look for

Software that is live, finished and sold on its own website.
A clear reason to pick it over similar tools already on AppSumo.
The lowest price available anywhere, including your own website.
An entry tier at $49 or less. Offer higher tiers or code stacking for buyers who want more.
A lifetime deal, where you can offer one.
A demo video, documentation or roadmap on your website or in your submission.
A free ($0) listing only if the same plan is paid everywhere else.

What we don't accept

Unfinished products (placeholder or lorem ipsum content), unmodified scripts, white-label or resold products, affiliate products, dropshipping, hosting and physical products.

Who buys on AppSumo: small businesses, agencies, marketers, creators, developers and solo founders who want tools that save them time or make them money.
