AppSumo Deal Updates May 2019: InVideo, Tubics & More
Several AppSumo lifetime deals received big upgrades in May 2019, including InVideo, Tubics, and more. This update covers new features, fixes, and how each tool has evolved since launch. A quick check-in on deals you may already own that just got better.
InVideo Gets a Much-Needed Speed Boost
InVideo was a promising video creation platform on AppSumo, but it had one glaring problem: speed. The app was painfully slow to use, and that sluggishness made the whole editing experience frustrating. The InVideo team clearly heard the feedback, because they shipped an update specifically targeting performance with faster previews and faster uploads.
This is a meaningful improvement that directly addresses the biggest complaint users had. What's encouraging is the spirit behind the InVideo team — they seem genuinely committed to building a great product. If you've been on the fence, this update makes the deal considerably more attractive. Just keep in mind that AppSumo deals don't last forever, and InVideo had already been on the platform for a while at the time of this update.
PublBox Adds Analytics to the AppSumo Deal
PublBox is a social media management toolkit designed to give you everything you need to manage your social presence in one place. The AppSumo deal was solid, but it had one notable omission: analytics. This was frustrating because analytics was included in every paid plan on PublBox's own website — it just wasn't part of the lifetime deal.
The good news is that the Sumo-ling community rallied together and convinced PublBox to add analytics to the deal. Once the feature exits beta, all AppSumo code holders will get access automatically. If you already bought codes, you're set. If you were holding off specifically because analytics wasn't included, that concern is now resolved.
Tubics Expands Code Stacking Up to 9 Codes
Tubics is a YouTube SEO tool that originally launched on AppSumo with just two plan tiers: one code for Pro, two codes for Agency. The difference came down to how many videos you could manage, how many users could access your account, and how many keywords you could track. That was a decent starting point, but Tubics has since opened up stacking all the way to nine codes.
The scaling is generous. At three codes, you get 10 YouTube channels, 250 keywords per channel, and four users. Each additional code adds five more channels, 50 more keywords per channel, and another user seat. Stack all nine codes and things get wild: unlimited YouTube channels, 750 keywords per channel, and unlimited users. If you're building a YouTube SEO agency or managing channels for multiple clients, the fully stacked deal is hard to beat at lifetime pricing.
Fleeq Brings Back Video Exports
Fleeq earned a glowing review as an interactive video tool, but there was a legitimate complaint from the community. A previous AppSumo deal for Fleeq had included MP4 video exports, and the newer deal dropped that feature. This mattered because Fleeq's native playback uses a proprietary format — you can embed a Fleeq on your page, but it's not a standard video file. If you wanted to upload a Fleeq to YouTube or another video platform, you'd have to resort to screen capture workarounds.
Fleeq listened and added video export back into the deal, allowing you to export up to 50 Fleeqs as actual video files. This doesn't cost anything extra — if you've already purchased a code, the feature is included. It's a practical addition that makes the tool far more versatile for anyone who needs to distribute their content across multiple platforms.
Reboo Adds Sub-Accounts in Version 1.1
Reboo is a website editing tool that lets you change the look and functionality of your site without touching code. One of the most requested features from the community was sub-accounts, and version 1.1 delivers exactly that. The update is included with the AppSumo deal at no extra cost.
Sub-accounts make it easy to share projects with team members or clients on a case-by-case basis. This is especially valuable if you're using Reboo for client work, since you can grant access to specific projects without exposing your entire workspace. It's a straightforward but important addition that turns Reboo into a more practical tool for freelancers and agencies. Just make sure you update to version 1.1 to access the feature.
