The Sauce – Plus exclusive Pros & Cons

Like any community or platform, The Sauce comes with its own set of advantages and a few areas where users have noted hiccups.

🚨 Lifetime Deal Alert: Available Now on AppSumo! ⏳ Don’t Miss Out

Pros

• Vibrant Community Engagement: Many users praise the active discussions and the willingness of members to share their experiences and insights. It’s a place where you can really feel supported and not alone in your entrepreneurial journey.
• Real Insights on Software: Instead of just marketing fluff, you get honest feedback and practical advice on how people are actually using AppSumo tools to grow their businesses. This is invaluable for making informed decisions about which software to invest in.
• Direct Access to Software Founders: This is a big one. Being able to ask questions directly to the creators of the tools can provide a level of personalized support and insight that’s hard to get elsewhere.
• Exclusive Educational Content: The masterclass recordings and live AMAs with experts offer a continuous learning opportunity. It’s like having a private library of business growth videos and remote work recordings.
• Opportunity for Collaboration: You can find like-minded entrepreneurs for joint ventures, client work, or even starting a podcast.
• Influence on AppSumo: The direct feedback channel allows members to suggest new features, perks, and even tools, giving them a voice in the direction of AppSumo’s offerings.
• Free with AppSumo Plus: If you’re already an AppSumo Plus member for the discounts and other perks, getting access to The Sauce at no extra cost is a significant bonus.

Cons

• Occasional Inactivity: While generally vibrant, some users have reported instances of inactivity in certain parts of the community. It might not be constantly buzzing in every corner.
• Account Removals: A notable complaint from a user was their account being disabled unexpectedly. AppSumo clarifies that this happens if a user’s Plus membership is no longer active, so it’s important to maintain that to keep access.
• “Fan Club” or “Trade Show” Vibe (for some): One user mentioned finding the vibe more like a “fan club or trade show atmosphere” and preferred more openness to communicate freely, even to complain. AppSumo has responded to this feedback by opening up their guidelines to allow for more transparency and conversation.
• Limited “Plus Exclusive” Deals (compared to past years): While The Sauce itself is a perk, some AppSumo Plus members have noted that the collection of “Plus exclusive deals” (referring to software deals specifically for Plus members) might not be as extensive as in previous years. This isn’t a direct con of The Sauce community, but it’s part of the broader AppSumo Plus membership experience that The Sauce is tied to.
