...and not being able to edit the emails sent out is a big no-no limitation.

I want to be able to write them in a voice that fits my brand, not AppSumo's voice/brand. I'm just baffled that this doesn't even seem possible.

Aside from the overboard branding and the email limitations which Julian also mentioned in his review, I love the design of the giveaway landing page.

That's the single reason why I'm still buying this KingSumo deal even though I got RafflePress too.

From KingSumo:

"In our experiments, the branding doesn't matter. I know this might be shocking, but the data speaks for itself: 𝘄𝗲'𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘃𝘀. 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀. 𝗜𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁, 𝘄𝗲'𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘃𝘀. 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 (in big part because of some unique things we do to increase entrants)."

This doesn't surprise me one bit either, it was already obvious to me. KingSumo's page is way better designed from a conversion POV then RafflPress is.

RafflePress seems to just focus on developing, not paying much attention to entrant conversion optimization.
