@schelzi3 the monthly plan just shows 'FREE TRIAL' and I don't see any other option. Will I be eligible for the bonuses if I chose that (and don't cancel after 7 days :) )?
Lisa Dziuba
Looks similar to what @kosovan made with Setapp for mac apps :)

Mr.🐺 💗 s You!

Pros:

The most cost-effective unfair advantage I've ever seen (I'm a ex-Google, 10+ year serial entrepreneur; this is not an exaggeration). -Mr.🐺

Cons:

To Add: Automatic Account Registration (e.g. "log in via Briefcase" across all current and future deals)

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

Eugen Oprea
Congrats, guys! This is awesome! I've been a Briefcase customer for a while now, Sumo Black initially, and I love it.
Chris Schelzi
@eugenoprea So awesome to have you as a Briefcase member! What tools do you use most often?
Eugen Oprea
@schelzi3 Airstory is my favorite so far, but there are a lot that I haven't tried yet.
Dean Glas
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?
Chris Schelzi
@dean_glas Great question! If a product is in your Briefcase, you'll continue to have access to it and we won't remove it from your Briefcase. This is why it's a good idea to purchase Briefcase sooner rather than later, to ensure you get all of the tools you need to grow your business. We're always adding in new tools as well and once you have them, they're yours :)

value is

Pros:

The variety of apps. Almost everything you need to run your business for one

Cons:

Too many choices :)

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

Nitesh Manav
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!)

While i love the idea of a super subscription package, i'm surprised there also wasnt a massive one-time fee or a massive "lifetime of services" package as well... thanks anyways for the work guys!
Joe Sinkwitz
Good work guys; keep adding great services to briefcase. I will disagree with you though -- I think this has the potential to be more like Amazon Prime than Netflix, where it is now irresponsible NOT to use if you're keen on saving money.
Chris Schelzi
@cygnusseo Thanks for the compliments! And yeah, totally see the comparison to Amazon Prime. Both amazing companies have been models for us as we look at the best ways to grow and add value to our customers. Thanks again!

I check Briefcase every week to find more awesome deals that Noah and his team are magically able to get and put on the site.

Pros:

Great collection of really awesome tools - at unbelievable prices

Cons:

Need more tools. Have shared some suggestions with their team

I'm loving the convenience of one subscription to cover my business needs. No more worry about what payments are due and when. Briefcase also helps me discover apps that I would otherwise never have known on my own. Definitely saving me time and money.

Pros:

Amazing value. Saves a ton of $$$. Super convenient.

Cons:

None really
