Pitchground was emerging as a challenger to Appsumo's dominance in the lifetime deals market. Some interesting products have been added and received funding, but it's too early to expect the same level of success as Appsumo listings.
It's positioning is of a unique platform that bridges the gap between Entrepreneurs, Marketers, Founders and early adopters. Pitchground's most visible face is Udit Goenka one of the co-founders.
It has adopted Appsumo's playbook to some extent.
The deals tend to be slightly lower priced and seem to irk Appsumo loyalist/affiliate marketers at times. Guess, Partly because Appsumo affiliates technically cannot market any other platform products.
Interestingly Pitchground's FB Group has nearly 18,000 followers and the official Appsumo Fans group is around 20,000. Where Appsumo scores over Pitchground is its high quality emailing list (with the advantages of a pioneer).
Pitchground runs multiple promotions through the year similar to and coinciding with
Appsumo promotions such as Black Friday etc. Similar to Appsumo it has tried to create its own products with limited success.
Revenue run rate in 2022 was reported to be USD 1.3 Mn still very small compared to Appsumo.
Pitchground is registered in the US as Little Saas Inc but operates out of Mumbai, India. It has an affiliate program and is quite active in promoting its listed products.However , its reputation has been affected by buyers and product companies complaining about issues.
