I bought full-stack last time AMS was on AppSumo. I ended up opting for a refund because I was having a lot of problems with the app, mostly due to my server (hosting provider) but also a few minor issues with the app itself. I regretted the choice at the time because I really liked and still like AppMySite’s platform, but I was not in a position to change servers (web hosts) at the time of my initial purchase many months back.
I recently switched hosting providers and was excited to see AMS back on AppSumo with their lifetime offer so I decided to test it out with my new server and the results were amazing compared to before.
I was very close to re-purchasing the full stack on AppSumo but then I started to see a lot of complaints and learned that AMS launched a new plan “Premium”.
I am struggling as to whether or not I am going to re-invest into AppMySite, I feel the platform has a lot of potential but I feel the addition of a “Premium” plan seems like a convenient way to push a lot of updates to the premium plan, forcing all lifetime deal holders of the pro plan to make additional purchases. In other words, anyone who purchased the previous lifetime deal on AppSumo would have gone in with the full assumption that all updates would apply to them moving forward, but a premium plan added after the lifetime deal would take that away.
I think my biggest concern about re-investing into AppMySite is that all the things I looked forward to including native apps not requiring CMS, Shopify Application, etc… that these roadmap items are going to get pushed to Premium and not be available as part of the AppSumo lifetime deal.
The other thing that has me at a loss is that their “PRO” plan does not include Priority Support at the very least.
I’m at a loss on what to decide…
