Our take
Accessibility to cutting-edge software tools is essential in scaling a small business, but the prices are not always affordable, particularly for entrepreneurs. Whilst software companies sometimes provide their digital products at a discounted rate, it is impossible to predict when this will occur, making it difficult for those who need the discount to benefit from it.
AppSumo provides a digital marketplace for discounted business software, curating daily deals into a single platform. By partnering with software providers, the company facilitates entrepreneurs and small businesses on a budget to access software that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, whilst also connecting software providers with customers that they wouldn’t normally have.
Whilst customers can already access AppSumo’s deals by monitoring the prices of first-party software, the marketplace prevents customers from having to spend time doing this, curating daily deals into a single place. Through this business model, the company can increase the accessibility to cutting-edge business software whilst increasing the audience scope for industries such as cloud computing and AI analytics.
