Frequently asked questions
What is a lifetime deal?
A lifetime deal (LTD) is a one-time payment that gives you access to a software product for as long as the product exists, instead of paying a monthly or yearly subscription. Software companies, often young ones, offer them for a limited time to find early customers and feedback.
Is “lifetime” really forever?
It means the lifetime of the product, not yours. If the company shuts down, the deal ends with it. Lifetime deals also usually come with limits (users, credits, features) and may not include future premium plans. Always read the plan details on the deal page before buying.
Where do these deals come from?
We track the main lifetime deal marketplaces, including AppSumo, Earlybird, Prime Club, RocketHub, ProductCanyon and Dealify, and add new deals as they appear. You always buy directly on the marketplace.
How are the reviews written?
Each review is written with the help of AI, using only the information on the product's official deal page, and focuses on what the tool does and who it is for. Automatic checks discard texts that do not match the product. Prices and terms can change, so check the deal page for the current offer.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are handled by the marketplace where you buy. Most of them offer a refund window (often 30 to 60 days), but the terms differ for each marketplace and deal: check them before buying.
What does “Deal ended” mean?
The deal is no longer available on the marketplace. We keep the review online for reference; the button takes you to the marketplace page, where you can check whether the product is still on sale.
How often are new deals added?
We check the marketplaces every day. New deals are published a few times a day, as soon as their review is ready, and prices of the deals already listed are refreshed daily.
Do lifetime deals include future updates?
It depends on the deal. Many include updates to the plan you buy, but new features, higher plans or usage add-ons can be excluded. The deal page on the marketplace lists exactly what is included.
Which currency are the prices in?
Prices are shown in US dollars, as on the marketplaces. Taxes or currency conversion may apply at checkout depending on where you live.
Is there a Telegram channel?
Yes. New deals are also posted on our Telegram channel, @toolslifetime, with a short summary and links to the review and the deal.
Do you earn money from these links?
Yes. Some links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how the site is funded. It does not change the price you pay.
