AppSumo alternatives: questions founders ask
- Is AppSumo still worth it?
- It depends on what you need from a deal. What we checked on AppSumo on Oct 26, 2026: it is among the 100,000 most visited sites (Tranco, Oct 2026).
- Which AppSumo alternatives do round-ups name most?
- Of the 7 round-ups of AppSumo alternatives we read, the places named most are StackSocial (6), Dealify (5), SaaSPirate (4), DealMirror (4) and RocketHub (4). Each number is how many of the 7 name it.
- Which AppSumo alternatives are free to list on?
- Of the places on this page, SaaSPirate is free to list on. As of Oct 26 to 29, 2026.
- How are these AppSumo alternatives chosen?
- We read 7 round-ups of AppSumo alternatives that rank in search, from different publishers, and count how many name each place. A place is listed when at least 2 of them name it, or one does and our own checks confirm enough about it, when it is live, and when it does the same job for a founder as AppSumo. A marketplace for selling a business never counts, and on a page about a place to launch, a directory or a review site needs most of the round-ups to name it. A publisher naming its own site does not count, two articles by one publisher count once, and so does our own post. The places named most come first; our recommended score only breaks a tie. Up to 12 are listed. Nobody pays for a place here.
