How to submit to App Sumo
AppSumo is a deals marketplace: you apply to run a campaign, about 10% are accepted, and they take a negotiated revenue share instead of a fee. The application needs an AppSumo account.
Checked 28 September 2026. No upfront fee: revenue share negotiated per deal. Selective (~10% accepted) and it is a deal marketplace, not a free listing. Nobody has measured whether a App Sumo listing’s link is followed yet, so we don’t say. Queue: review after application; campaigns run ~60 days.
