Software Lifetime Deals

7 deals across 2 platforms, each with its full tier table, refund window, activation deadline and break-even months worked out from the vendor's own monthly price. One category is open so far. Last checked 10 September 2026.

Some links on this page are affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. It never changes which deals we list or what we say about them. Full disclosure.

A platform listing tells you a tier costs $69 and shows a struck-through $1,200. It does not tell you how many months of the vendor's own subscription that buys, whether the credit cap resets or runs out, how long you have to claim a refund, or how long you have before the licence you paid for lapses unclaimed. This directory works those out and puts them in one table.

What makes an entry here different from the merchant page

  • Break-even is calculated, never typed. One-off price divided by the vendor's real recurring monthly price. Where no monthly plan exists the cell says so instead of showing an estimate.
  • Struck-through prices are never treated as monthly. They are annual or lifetime comparison figures and using them would inflate every break-even on the site.
  • Refund window and activation deadline are separate columns. They are different clocks, and buyers lose access over the second one while assuming they are covered by the first.
  • The date the vendor last shipped is on every entry. For tools that depend on third-party search data, a vendor that has announced nothing in three years is the most important fact on the page.
  • Nothing is published that cannot be traced to a dated source. Gaps stay visible rather than being filled in.
