What is your opinion on lifetime deals ?

Question

Ethan Matthew Brooks · Accepted Answer

Depends on the deal and the product. If it's something you'll actually use long-term and the lifetime price is way less than paying monthly/yearly, could be worth it. Just make sure to do your research on the company's track record and likelihood of sticking around. I've gotten burned on a couple lifetime deals for SaaS products that went under shortly after.

Daniel James Harris · Answer

Depends on the deal for sure! If it's a solid product with ongoing development and support, lifetime deals can def be worth it to lock in a low price. Just gotta do your research on the company's track record and roadmap. I've gotten some great lifetime deals before that paid for themselves quick. But yeah, buyer beware and all that LOL.

As a customer, i dont like monthly subscription plans. When I see a lifetime deal for a fair price, I am more willing to pay for it rather than a monthly subscription

@konrad_sx Is it worth the time? The revenue you receive is substantial? userbase who comes from LTD churn out eventually? How is your experience as an owner?

Janak Patel · Answer

@valianto means do you buy from LTD a lot? Yo like it? Your experience?

Answer

Depends on the deal and the product! Some LTDs can be great values if it's something you'll actually use long-term. But beware of FOMO - don't buy stuff you don't need just because it's an LTD. And watch out for janky products or sellers that disappear after the deal. Do your research first!

Answer

I would love it

Janak Patel · Answer

@ag94 Haha, worth it

Answer

Depends on the deal and what's included. Lifetime deals can be great for smaller tools you'll use long-term. But for core software I rely on daily, I prefer paying monthly/annually so the developers have recurring revenue to keep improving the product. Gotta weigh the LTD value vs ongoing updates & support.
