The software is available on a subscription model, with various tiers depending on the level of ad spend a customer wishes to store and analyse in the platform.

To date, Appsumer has secured a variety of major clients including Viber, Lovoo, Trainline, Touchnote and Canon and it boasts that 100% of businesses that have entered into a trial membership have progressed to paid with a 0% churn rate.
