AppSumo Licence Terms
Effective Date: 12 November 2026
These terms apply to every Cogny lifetime licence bought on AppSumo (Tiers 1 to 4). They supplement the Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy and the Solo Tier Addendum. Where they conflict, these terms control for AppSumo licences. Your purchase, payment and refund are handled by AppSumo under its own terms.
1. What you get
An AppSumo licence is Cogny's Solo plan on a lifetime licence: a one-time payment, with no monthly subscription fee. It includes all future updates to the Solo plan, including all current and future skills.
2. What each tier includes
- Tier 1 ($49): 100 AI credits per month; 1 active loop; 1 workspace; 3 connected marketing channels: Google Search Console, LinkedIn Ads and Bing Webmaster Tools. Google Analytics 4 can also be connected.
- Tier 2 ($119): 300 AI credits per month; 2 active loops; 1 workspace; all channels in the Cogny catalog, as available.
- Tier 3 ($229): 600 AI credits per month; 5 active loops; 3 workspaces; all channels in the Cogny catalog, as available; outbound webhooks.
- Tier 4 ($449): 1,500 AI credits per month; 10 active loops; 10 workspaces; all channels in the Cogny catalog, as available; outbound webhooks; MCP and CLI access with API keys.
An active loop is a scheduled job that runs on its own and measures the impact of each run. Outbound webhooks push audit, report and loop results to Slack, Zapier, Make or your CRM.
3. Included in every tier
- Cogny MCP access: drive Cogny from your own AI, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor.
- Built-in marketing chat with prompt-driven analysis (uses credits).
- AI image generation (uses credits).
- All current and future skills.
- An approval flow for changes, and a full audit trail of every write.
- Tickets with automated impact analysis: every completed change and every loop run is measured and gets a verdict (worked, didn't work, hurt or inconclusive), with shareable results.
- Client-ready PDF report exports.
4. Credits
Your tier's monthly credits are added at the start of each calendar month (UTC). They reset every month: unused credits do not roll over or accumulate.
Credits belong to the licence, not to a single workspace. On Tier 3 and Tier 4, every workspace on the licence draws from the same monthly credits.
Credits are used by Cogny's own AI work: the built-in chat, loop runs, analyses Cogny runs for you, impact analysis of your changes, image generation, and other paid tools that are marked as using credits. Standard MCP tool calls made by your own AI do not use credits.
When the month's credits and any top-ups are used up, features that use credits pause until the next monthly reset. Your connections, your MCP access and the measurement of changes you have already made keep working. Optional credit top-ups can be bought at any time. They are never required to use the product, and top-up credits do not expire at the monthly reset.
5. Fair use of MCP access
Standard MCP tool calls have no monthly cap. To keep the service fast for everyone, a workspace can make up to 100 MCP calls per minute. Above that, the server answers with HTTP 429 and a Retry-After time, and your AI can retry after it. The connected platforms' own API quotas also apply.
You may use your licence for your own business and for clients whose accounts you manage. You may not:
- resell, rent or sublicense access to Cogny itself;
- share API keys or access with people outside your organisation;
- use automated traffic meant to get around the limits in these terms, or to overload or disrupt the service;
- use Cogny in breach of the law or of a connected platform's terms.
If we see use that breaks this policy, we will contact you first and may limit that use. We will not remove or reduce any feature listed in sections 2 to 4 for use that follows these terms.
6. Activating, upgrading and downgrading
Activate your licence with the Redeem button on AppSumo. A licence activates on one Cogny account, and the workspaces you create on it join the licence, up to your tier's workspace limit.
Upgrades and downgrades between tiers go through AppSumo. The new tier's channels, loops, workspaces and features apply as soon as the change arrives, and the new monthly credit allowance starts at the next monthly reset.
A licence can't be combined with a Cogny Solo, Cogny AI or Cogny Pro subscription on the same workspace. You can move a workspace to the Cloud plan, a separate monthly subscription. That workspace then leaves the licence, and the licence and its credits stay with your other workspaces. If no other workspace is on the licence, the licence stays active and you can activate it again on another workspace.
7. Refunds
AppSumo offers a 60-day money-back guarantee on the purchase. If your licence is refunded, every workspace on it moves to Cogny's Free plan and the remaining monthly credits end. Credit top-ups you bought stay on the workspace, and your data stays in it.
8. AI models and new features
Cogny chooses the AI model used for in-app features on AppSumo licences and may change it.
New AI models, usage-based AI features and compute-intensive services introduced after the AppSumo campaign ends may be offered separately, for a fee or for credits. Everything listed in sections 2 and 3 stays included for the life of your licence.
9. Support
Support for AppSumo licences is in the Cogny Discord and at support@cogny.com. Your own AI can also file a bug, a feature request or a support request with Cogny's MCP tools.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms, for example to describe new features. An update will not remove or reduce anything listed in sections 2 to 4 for an existing licence. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email before they take effect.
