GoBrunch

GoBrunch wants to make your Zoom calls actually worth attending. It's a community-builder tool for online meetings that adds interactive elements—games, polls, breakout moments—basically everything that makes remote gatherings feel less like watching paint dry. The pitch is simple: virtual events that don't suck.

Here's the wild part: they dropped the price from $870 to $89 lifetime. That's a 90% discount on AppSumo, which either means they're playing the long game on user acquisition or they realized $870 was keeping this out of reach for the very communities who need it most. Either way, at $89 one-time, it's an expensive toy turned into an accessible toolkit.

The community-builders category is underserved—everyone's focused on async tools and Slack integrations, but live engagement is where the magic happens or doesn't. GoBrunch is betting that people are tired of meetings being punishment and want them to actually build something. Whether they're right depends on whether communities care enough to pay for the upgrade.
