What's up you gorgeous Product Hunters!! Thanks for hunting us today @nickhaase. I’m Noah Kagan, Co-Founder of AppSumo + Sumo.com. Over the past 7 years, we’ve curated hundreds of software tools and promoted them at crazy prices to our audience of millions of entrepreneurs. Today we’re launching Briefcase: the all-in-one toolkit for entrepreneurs and startups looking to create, grow, and scale their businesses. With 35+ tools (and growing), Briefcase has the exact tools you need to run an online business: from sales, to design, to SEO, and everything in between. Think of it like "Netflix for Software." I look forward to answering any questions y’all might have and hope you check out Briefcase! The real masterminds who made all this magic happen are @schelzi3 + @brokerchange. Linky: https://appsumo.com/black-friday... P.S. Entrepreneurs are always left out of awesome Black Friday deals so for this week only, if you sign up (or upgrade) you’ll get early access to EVERY tool featured on AppSumo for the rest of 2017 - including all of our Black Friday tools :slightly_smiling_face:

I am an AppSumo customer for almost 2 years and love it so much because of their great bargaining skills, customer support and ability to provide us great SaaS tools at highly affordable rates.

Pros:

All the included SaaS tools are of premium quality and highly useful and available at highly affordable subscription fee.

Cons:

Nothing as such

AppSumo is the undoubtedly the most valuable asset to me since I left my job to work for the full time on my startup. I know AS for almost 2 years and own more than 3 dozens of lifetime SaaS tools. More than half of them are used by me or my team almost regularly and I can't say how convenient, insightful and economical it has made my life. Now, for startups, digital agencies or internet marketers who discovered lately and hence don't have access to dozens of amazing tools that are never going to come on a lifetime price either on AppSumo or any other deal sites, the #ASBreifcase is the golden key to get access to all of them at a subscription price equivalent to that of any one of such 35+ tools. Though, one big concern that I have is about the longevity of this briefcase model. So, suppose I signed up for this and paying $49/$99 every month to get access to dozens of these tools. But maybe in future, if you decided to 'drop' this subscription model, what options will I have to continue using all those tools where I have already set-up my work or projects? In no possible ways, I will be able to pay their own monthly subscription charges. So, how will AS take care of this? I know about AppSumo and Sumo reputation and I trust fully but thinking about future consequences is also a part of every entrepreneur's journey. How do you think to tackle such situations? PS: BF Bonus Alert- If you sign up or upgrade to Briefcase Yearly (any plan), you will get $200 Amazon credits + $300 of AppSumo credits and if you sign up or upgrade to Briefcase Pro Monthly, you will get $50 Amazon credits + $50 AppSumo credits as per the details written here- https://goo.gl/X5pkMt ( Do check the number of remaining seats for these bonuses)

With Briefcase you get to pick and choose the tools you need to run your business - some you use daily. This is especially huge when there are products you don't use everyday but are nice to have in your arsenal of tools for when you do need them.

Pros:

Access to a suite of tools to get your business growing bundled into a single low monthly price.

Cons:

Single sign-on from Briefcase to access all apps from dashboard (coming soon though!)

What an idea! I have never thought about something like this, but it's a so obviously and good idea!

Great concept that really helps me out by providing me with a full suite of professional software to help me with my startups, existing businesses and consultancy at $49 a month. The suite is growing every couple of weeks and some of the software added is awesome. There are of course a few products that have failed to perform (IE: No updates/lack of community) but this is 1 -2 out a suite approaching 40+ apps. Great to see the additional pricing tiers for when my business grows as well as building confidence this awesome suite will be around for the longhaul. It truely is a great asset to have. Eventually it would be cool to have some kind of pick and mix system to customize to our individual needs (IE: not everyone needs graphics or financial projection.

Pros:

Quality of Apps/Cost/Contantly Adding New Apps/Community

Cons:

Sometimes Their copy is not very clear.

this is everything anyone ever needs to gain traction and push their idea out there. props to sumo for doing this! 🙌

Woot! Looking forward to using Briefcase. 🙌 I've been an AppSumo for years. I've seen AppSumo grow, but I've also seen them stay consistent and only promote product that they actually use and are the best out there. I know as Briefcase grows I'm going to have a collection of great products, but I'm most looking forward to the time it saves knowing that they pick the best of each category inside.

I check AppSummo and ProducHunt on a daily basis - so when I saw the Briefcase, I was stoked! I had previously purchased some of the software there but I was going to get EpicBeat at a regular price - so when I saw it part of the Briefcase - it was a no- brainer. I had to ask for a refund for the previous tools included in Briefcase but I don't see the point in paying double. What I would like to know is 1. How do I know if I was one of the first people to purchase the tool and if I qualified for the gift card. 2. There's a mention of getting early access to all the deals remaining for 2017, but I can't find them anywhere now that I have upgraded. 3. You're going to keep on adding tool - are the tools added only going to be part of Briefcase and not a standalone? I don't want to buy a product, only to find that it was included in my membership later on. The negative of this deal is that some of the products have some nasty limitations. For example, pCloud doesn't come with encryption - you still need to upgrade for $4/month if you want it. Some of the tools require their branding - which is understandable when you purchase lifetime at one price, but this is a subscription model - I would think that they make the exception. But other than that, Briefcase is a great deal and I'm glad I signed up for it.

Looks similar to what @kosovan made with Setapp for mac apps :)

@noahkagan @schelzi3 Awesome idea! Signed up early this morning (2:30am MST) when there were only 94 left of the $200/$300 bonuses. Got confirmation I was charged, but no instructions on how to redeem my gift cards. What to do?

I realized that I could save more money than buying multiple deals every month.

However, what made me pull the trigger, it was the fact that I had access to some past deals, like Airstory.

Pros:

Awesome price for getting access to multiple tools

Cons:

Nothing yet

Congrats, guys! This is awesome! I've been a Briefcase customer for a while now, Sumo Black initially, and I love it.

Jumping on it when all the apps are available would be the best move. Way to go, Appsumo team!

Pros:

Hugeeee Savingsssss - Too many apps for the price of two apps is amazing

Cons:

Wish there are more integrations between the apps in the briefcase

Great concept! Similarly to Netflix, eventually movies/shows get removed when their contracts expire. What happens when a start-up uses Briefcase tools and the same thing happens?

Awesome product! Great work team! Love products you collected!

Nice job @noahkagan & team! The help you provide to the start-up community - with Sumo + AppSumo + the Podcast is amazing and greatly appreciated!

This is super cool! Is it possible to submit a product for a review to be a part of this?

Most useful and amazing invention since bikes with electronic shifting. Love it!

In true sense, it IS the "Netflix of Software". AppSumo has been phenomenal when it comes to helping new products gain a massive initial momentum, that first buzz. And with #briefcase they have got one step further by serving a big community of both product owners and consumers. Briefcase is the BEST way for consumers to build a massive toolkit for their business. Think of an app that you might need for your business, and you will find it inside. This is everything that you will ever need to build & run your online/offline business. Just go for it.
