Open questions

These are unresolved. Nothing is stated as fact on this site until it can be read off a published page.

  • TODO(verify): capture a public URL for the partner commission terms above. The figures come from the programme terms rather than a page we have been able to cite.
  • TODO(verify): whether tier upgrade and downgrade mechanics are consistent across listings. Several products state that upgrades are allowed while the deal is live but downgrades only inside 60 days, and others say nothing.

Two clocks, not one

The refund window and the activation deadline are both sixty days on AppSumo, which makes them easy to treat as the same thing. They are not. The refund window is how long a buyer has to ask for their money back. The activation deadline is how long a buyer has to claim the licence before it lapses. A code bought and forgotten for ten weeks is outside both, and the second one is not recoverable by the first.

Stacking is set per product

There is no platform-wide stacking rule. Each listing states its own. Of the products listed here, WriterZen stacks up to five codes, Screpy up to three, and the tier-based listings replace one tier with another rather than adding codes together. Check the deal terms on the listing itself before buying more than one.

Two kinds of listing

Most listings carry AppSumo’s own We Got Your Back guarantee and a badge saying the product was selected and vetted. Some do not. Screpy’s listing states plainly that it is managed by the partner who built the product and that the guarantee does not apply. The sixty day refund still applies to both, but the backstop after that window differs.
