AppSumo Users Guide

Why AppSumo Is Different

You grabbed a lifetime deal on AppSumo—smart move. But AppSumo deals have unique quirks, different tiers, and sometimes need special activation. This guide covers everything AppSumo-specific.

The bottom line: Your AppSumo deal is honored fully, but the setup process can be different from direct purchases.

AppSumo Dezygn Tiers

Your AppSumo purchase tier determines your monthly credits:

AppSumo Tier 1

Monthly credits: 50
Brands: 3
Campaigns: 30
Daily limit: 75 credits

AppSumo Tier 2

Monthly credits: 100
Brands: 5
Campaigns: 50
Daily limit: 75 credits

AppSumo Tier 3

Monthly credits: 167
Brands: 10
Campaigns: 100
Daily limit: 75 credits

Not sure which tier? Check your AppSumo purchase receipt or log into your account at chat.dezygn.com to see your allocation.

AppSumo Account Activation Process

"I can't find my AppSumo account"

The new reality: The new Dezygn platform (v4) doesn't have any imported accounts from AppSumo purchases.

You need to activate your benefits:

  1. Enter your AppSumo purchase email

  2. Upload your AppSumo receipt (JPG/PNG format)

  3. System will recognize your tier and assign benefits

  4. Complete activation process

"My license key/coupon code expired or doesn't work"

Some AppSumo deals used coupon codes: If yours expired, don't panic.

Solution: Contact us through our support channels with subject "AppSumo Code Issue"

Include:

  • Your AppSumo purchase receipt

  • The expired/non-working code

  • AppSumo order number

We'll issue a new working code usually within 24 hours.

"I have my AppSumo receipt, now what?"

Step-by-step activation:

  1. Go to the legacy flow: chat.dezygn.com/legacy

  2. Enter any email: We'll create your account automatically

  3. Upload AppSumo receipt: Must be JPG/PNG format only

  4. Review your tier: System calculates your T1/T2/T3 benefits

  5. Choose upgrades: Optional Legacy Special and subscription offers

  6. Activate and login: Complete setup and access Dezygn

AppSumo vs Direct Purchase

What's the Same

  • Same core features and image generation

  • Same commercial usage rights

  • Same monthly credit allocations by tier

  • Same daily limits (75 credits)

What's Different

  • Activation process: May require special codes

  • Account creation: Sometimes needs manual setup

  • Support verification: Need AppSumo receipt for account issues

  • Upgrades: Special AppSumo pricing may apply

AppSumo Upgrade Options During Activation

Legacy Special (One-Time During Activation)

  • Keep your monthly AppSumo credits (50/100/167 based on tier)

  • Unlock unlimited brands/campaigns/team

  • Add insta-share feature

  • Get 500 bonus credits

  • Only available during activation - one-time offer

Legacy Subscription Plans (30% Discount During Activation)

  • Legacy Freelancer: ~$34/month (normally $49) - 500 credits + features

  • Legacy Agency: ~$69/month (normally $99) - 1,500 credits + priority support

  • Discount only available if added during Legacy Special purchase

How AppSumo "Extra Credits" Work

The confusion: Some AppSumo descriptions mentioned "extra credits" for premium features.

The reality: Your AppSumo deal includes core features. Some advanced features (like custom model training) require subscription upgrades, not extra credits.

What's included with AppSumo:

  • Core image generation ✅

  • Video generation ✅

  • Basic features ✅

What requires upgrade:

  • Model training ❌

  • Insta-share ❌

  • Studio editor ❌

  • Team members ❌

Lifetime Deal Questions

"Is my AppSumo deal really lifetime?"

Your monthly credits: Yes, forever
The features included: Yes, as long as the platform exists
New features added later: May require upgrades

"Do I get 500 credits per month or one-time?"

AppSumo deals are monthly: You get your tier's credits every month forever
Not one-time: Your credits refresh monthly on your billing date
Example: AppSumo T3 = 167 credits every month

Account Verification for AppSumo

When contacting support about AppSumo issues, include:

  • Approximate purchase date

Helpful:
