    Lifetime

Lifetime doesn't always mean everything, forever

A lifetime licence is a promise about access, and the details are in the terms. Read what's excluded before you buy.

• Versions: some licences cover the current major version only, with paid upgrades later.
• Devices: many cap how many computers or phones you can activate.
• AI and cloud features: these cost the maker money every time they run, so they're often excluded or capped.
• Support: a few deals include email support for a limited time only.

• Are lifetime deals worth it? →

The safest kind of lifetime deal

Apps that run entirely on your own device are the lowest risk. If the company stops updating the app, the copy you've installed usually keeps working.

Web apps and anything with a server behind it are a bigger bet. A one-off payment doesn't cover hosting costs forever, so the service depends on the company staying in business.

Tip: A quick test: would you still pay this price if it were a normal price? If the answer is no, the discount is doing the deciding, not the app.

How we check these deals

Every deal here comes from the maker, the maker's own website or store listing, or a public community list, and we check it against the maker's site before it goes live. Terms are quoted as the maker wrote them, with a link to where we found them.

We don't invent discounts or guess end dates. If a percentage isn't stated, we only show one when the maker gives both the old and the new price. Prices can change, so confirm the final price at checkout.
