Why I failed to launch on Appsumo

From my experience, Appsumo is a good platform for driving traffic.

I attempted to submit neetoCal, to Appsumo. 

Unfortunately, after waiting for several weeks, my submission was not approved. When we inquired with the Business Development Team, they explained that since 95% of the features of neetoCal are in the free plan, it did not meet the requirements for a deal on Appsumo. They suggested pricing it at $29, similar to Tidycal (by Appsumo), and launching it on the platform. 

I understand where Appsumo is coming from. However, neetoCal’s pricing reflects our belief that scheduling software is a commodity and thus should be priced as a commodity.
