AppSumo Black Friday Drop 2: Automation Tools & AI SEO

AppSumo Black Friday Drop 2: Automate Everything

AppSumo's Black Friday event rolls on with its second drop, and the theme this time around is automation. Four tools are on offer, each tackling a different piece of the productivity puzzle — from video conferencing to SEO optimization to full-blown workflow automation.

As with every AppSumo Black Friday drop, timing matters. The best pricing is available during the first seven days, after which prices bump up by roughly 10–15% depending on the tier you choose. If any of these tools catch your eye, acting sooner will save you money.

Let's break down each tool, what it does, who it's for, and whether it's worth adding to your stack.

Meetn: A Simple, Streamlined Video Conferencing Platform

Meetn is a video conferencing platform that covers one-to-one meetings, group calls, and even live streaming to social media platforms. The interface is refreshingly straightforward — large, clearly labeled buttons for mic, camera, and speaker controls make it accessible to anyone, regardless of technical ability. Think of it as your grandma's Zoom, and I mean that as a compliment.

The platform supports up to 24 video participants and includes features like gallery view, active speaker view, breakout rooms, text chat with private messaging, and a Q&A mode. You can also preload slides and graphics using built-in widgets, which is a nice touch for presentations. However, several of the more advanced features — including webinars and additional meeting rooms — are locked behind tier two.

One standout feature is the ability to live stream directly to social media. You can connect your accounts and broadcast without needing third-party software like OBS. Even better, once your event ends, the shared link automatically converts into a replay link that viewers can watch at their own pace, including at 2x speed.

User reviews on AppSumo have been largely positive, with most long-term users reporting satisfaction with the service. Some complaints about audio quality or video artifacts cropped up, but those issues are almost always tied to the user's internet connection rather than the platform itself. If you're tired of monthly Zoom fees or paying thousands for a webinar service, Meetn is worth a look.

ClickRank: AI-Powered SEO That Actually Understands LLMs

ClickRank is an SEO tool that goes beyond traditional optimization by factoring in how large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini interpret your content. That forward-thinking approach sets it apart from the crowded field of SEO platforms.

The tool is organized around five core areas. The AI toolkit includes a content writer, an AI model index that checks whether your site is blocking LLM crawlers via robots.txt, and an AI compatibility checker that scores how well individual pages perform across different AI models — highlighting strengths and weaknesses for each. The more traditional SEO tools cover website audits, page-by-page optimization, and bulk title and meta description rewrites, all accelerated by AI. Analytics and reports pull data from Google Search Console to surface low-performing pages, poor click-through rates, and other issues that need attention. Keyword research and tracking tools round things out, letting you monitor rankings across multiple sites.

The AI SEO agent might be the most compelling feature. It functions like an on-demand SEO consultant — you can ask it about your site's performance, get action plans, and identify critical issues without the awkwardness of asking an agency what might feel like a basic question. Setup is simple: add a script to your site (or install the WordPress plugin) and connect Google Search Console for full data access.

If there's one gripe, it's speed. The interface shows a loading screen on nearly every click, which makes the experience feel sluggish even if the actual wait times aren't terrible. But the depth of functionality more than makes up for it. ClickRank supports up to eight websites on its top tier, making it ideal for solopreneurs and small business owners who want agency-level SEO insights without agency-level pricing.

Robomotion: Robotic Process Automation That Controls Your Computer

Robomotion takes a fundamentally different approach to automation. While most tools in this space work by connecting APIs and triggering actions between apps, Robomotion is a robotic process automation (RPA) platform that can literally control a keyboard and mouse. That means it can automate anything you can do on your computer, even tasks that don't have API integrations available.

You can run Robomotion locally by installing their software on your machine or deploy it in the cloud. The platform includes deep integrations with LLMs like ChatGPT and Llama, Google apps, social media platforms, and a wide range of productivity tools. It's been on AppSumo before — including last year's Black Friday — and has since expanded its accessibility with a new "for users" section featuring a marketplace of pre-built agents that handle common tasks without requiring you to build flows from scratch.

That said, Robomotion is still fundamentally a power user's tool. The pre-built agent marketplace is growing (with many currently focused on AI image generation via integrations like Nano Banana), but the real value is in creating custom automations for tasks that simply can't be handled by traditional API-based platforms. If you've ever tried to automate a workflow and hit a wall because the app you need doesn't have an integration, Robomotion is built for exactly that scenario.

Albato: A Traditional Zapier Alternative with 800+ Integrations

Albato is the more conventional automation platform in this drop, and it's the one to look at if you're primarily trying to escape Zapier's recurring fees. It follows the familiar trigger-and-action workflow model and comes loaded with over 800 native app integrations and more than 1,400 pre-built templates to get you started quickly.

The automation builder offers both a clean list view for simple flows and a canvas view for more complex branching logic. Building workflows is straightforward: pick a trigger, add your actions (email via SMTP, app integrations, webhooks), and let it run. The sheer number of supported platforms is impressive — scrolling through just the apps starting with A through G takes a while.

Albato has added an AI feature, though it's limited to a tutorial finder rather than a true agent that can build automations for you. You type a "how to" question and it surfaces relevant guides. It's helpful but falls short of the dream scenario where you'd simply describe what you want and the AI builds it.

The key distinction between Albato and Robomotion comes down to what you need. If you're a non-developer who wants to replace Zapier with a lifetime deal and your required integrations are already supported, Albato is the straightforward choice. If you need to automate tasks that no API-based platform can handle — things that require simulating mouse clicks and keystrokes — then Robomotion is the way to go.

Which Tool Should You Grab?

All four tools in this drop serve distinct purposes, so there's minimal overlap. Meetn is for anyone who wants to ditch their monthly video conferencing bill. ClickRank is a must-look for anyone serious about SEO, especially with its unique LLM compatibility features. Robomotion is the pick for power users who need to automate the un-automatable. And Albato is the clean, no-fuss Zapier replacement for everyone else.

Remember, the Black Friday pricing window lasts seven days from the drop date. After that, prices increase across all tiers. If you're on the fence, it's worth locking in the lower price now — you can always refund within AppSumo's guarantee window if the tool doesn't work out for you.
