I’m building an AppSumo competitor without lifetime deals. Looking for 10 founders to try it for $0
I’m building Outoffer, a marketplace where software companies compete to give customers the best offer.
The easiest comparison is AppSumo, with one big difference: Outoffer isn’t built around lifetime deals.
Companies choose their discount, how many customers they want, and what they’re willing to pay for each verified sale. The strongest offer takes the #1 spot. If another company makes a better one, it takes over.
My hypothesis is that this competition will produce better deals and stop Outoffer from becoming another static coupon directory.
You don’t pay for clicks or abandoned checkouts. A bounty is only used after Stripe, Polar, or Lemon Squeezy confirms a paying customer.
I’m looking for 10 software founders to try it for $0. There’s no obligation to launch or fund a campaign. Either way, you’ll get a free backlink to your product.
I’m asking for one thing in return: when Outoffer publicly launches, repost the announcement to your audience on X.

If you’d rather have me walk you through it, reply with your product. I’ll personally help the first ten.
This is cool. I'm interested, Here's my product. DoNotify (donotifys.com); a voice call notification platform for reminders and urgent tasks, that can be integrated into your existing tools like Google Calendar, Calendly, etc.
Nice, DoNotify looks like a good fit. I put together a private proposal based on the Starter plan: 50% off for the first three months, capped at 25 new customers.

Outoffer costs $0 for the first 10 founders, and you'll get the backlink either way.

Tying the bounty to an actual verified sale instead of clicks or signups is the cleanest part of the design. Most deal platforms get noisy because the incentive is on the wrong event. The risk of a pure discount race is real, though — once a couple of vendors lose the top spot twice they may just stop participating. Ranking on a mix of offer quality plus some simple retention or refund signal could keep the top positions from becoming a pure price war. Curious how you plan to surface that quality signal without making the ranking opaque.
Competition as the mechanic is smart — static directories die because nobody updates them, a bidding layer forces freshness. The risk: 'best offer' becomes a race to the bottom, and vendors who lose twice stop coming back. Maybe rank on quality + rating, not just discount, so the top spot stays aspirational.
The interesting part is making the marketplace itself competitive rather than turning it into another static deal directory. Tying the bounty to an actual verified sale also makes the incentive structure much clearer for both sides.
