Shockingly, My Account Was Disabled!

I was shocked to find my account disabled today, completely out of the blue. My only activity was a brief introductory post shortly after joining three months ago. I am utterly perplexed and dismayed. I'm deeply disappointed because I relied on the developer insights and refund information and found them invaluable.

Hey there! I'm so sorry about this – we remove accounts that do not have an active Plus membership. If you still have an active Plus membership, and just use a different email for Circle, please email us at thesauce@appsumo.com and we'll get you back in :)

Nobody posts there

Unfortunately there's no activity in the community.

To reply to the reply, the last post I can see on their feed is from last month.

A positive community - so I'm not staying

Seems to be a semi-inactive (or limited?) group and the whole vibe feels more to me like a fan club or trade show atmosphere. It's just not my style. This is where the people that throw a lot more money into AppSumo than most (at $99/yr for "plus" club dues) are gathered up. I really like more openness to communicate (and maybe complain) a bit more freely and a special club like this sets too many limitations to be able to do that properly in my opinion. May be great for some, but not a good fit in my case.

Hey there, thanks for your feedback. We did open up our guidelines more towards the end of 2024 to allow for more transparency and conversation around tool closures. We'd love to have you back in the community!

Active Community of Insight and Rewards at the Best Price

The Sauce Plus is the ultimate software solution that's not a software product sold under AppSumo, but a community revolutionizing the way we use software by giving us a choice to exchange ideas on products, help in selecting the best stack, and supporting our request to buy lifetime deals instead of reoccurring monthly costs. Imagine having lifetime access to top-tier software products, a 60-day money-back guarantee, and the opportunity to engage with software founders - all in one community.

However, the Sauce Plus isn't just about our business software stack - it's about the experience. Members get uninterrupted access to a range of powerful software tools, ensuring they stay ahead of the curve. With a 60-day money-back guarantee, there's no risk in giving it a try. But here's where it gets even better - the opportunity to chat directly with the software founders by asking specific questions which provides an exclusive insight and personalized support that is truly unparalleled anywhere (that I know of). But now the community is growing into another version of itself by incorporating the new gamification aspect, making the whole process engaging and rewarding.

I joined The Sauce in March 2024 and now it is September and I have realized my Sauce Community purchase price back in discounts of 10% of purchase price and quarterly $25.00 coupons. Consider joining the Sauce Community if not for the benefits, discounts, and coupons but for experiencing the new gamification. I am happy with the experience in the community and I am having fun. 👏

The Sauce is Bringing the AppSumo Community Closer Together

The Sauce it’s not just about buying tools but understanding how people are using them in different ways. Chris really stands out as he understands very well the life time deal world in the perspective of a sumo-ling, and he's developing many initiatives to add value. And this counts a lot. There are new events happening, different webinars, engagement features and collaboration opportunities. I can definitely see a lot of progress. It feels like you’re getting closer to AppSumo itself.
