What AppSumo is

AppSumo is a selective software marketplace. According to AppSumo's seller page, about 10 percent of applicants get in, and deals reach more than 1.5 million buyers. Most AppSumo partners offer lifetime deals, though AppSumo says these aren't required.

What GetFree is

GetFree is a self-serve directory. A developer submits an app to GetFree and adds codes; people claim them. There's no application call or deal to negotiate on GetFree.

Side by side

  • Selection: AppSumo accepts about 10 percent of applicants. GetFree takes open submissions.

Lifetime deals
