Are AppSumo lifetime deals worth it?

Use a stricter checklist for lifetime software deals: refund window, founder risk, roadmap quality, current need, and true replacement cost.

• Buy only when the tool replaces something you already pay for or clearly need.
• Check refund terms before acting on urgency copy.
• Avoid lifetime deals for mission-critical workflows unless the vendor is durable.
