About our products

What is a Lifetime Deal?

What is a "Lifetime Deal?" It's a term you may not be familiar with.

So what does "Lifetime Deal" actually mean?

AppSumo for Lifetime (Lifetime) products,You get a one-time payment for that tool.This is the first time I've done this.

Unless the company goes bankrupt again,You can continue to use the tool in perpetuity at no additional cost.

Explained in plain language. Please see 👇.

For example, if you subscribe to a tool that costs $96 per year, it will cost $480 for 5 years. In Japanese yen, this is about 66,000 yen. That's quite a price.

However, AppSumo is also available for $29 for lifetime (buy-one-get-one-free) plan. Normally, the tool costs $96 per year, or 66,000 yen for 5 years, but you can get it for only $29 (4,000 Japanese yen).

There is no additional cost.

However, no one can guarantee that a product will work forever. In rare cases, the company developing the tools purchased for AppSumo may be acquired or go bankrupt.

An estimated 921 TP34T SaaS companies, regardless of growth or funding, will fail in the first three years of their existence. This is because the software industry is constantly changing and evolving.

The evolution of AI technology is a perfect example.

However, among the thousands of software tools launched in AppSumo,Only about 41 TP34T have gone out of business.

They always strive to select products that will last for the long term. Our recommendation is to try the product you purchased within the refund period. Please purchase and try the product first.

Either way, there is a money back guarantee and your purchase is 100% protected. Rest assured, we'll do everything we can to make sure you get your money back.

What is Stacking?

This section explains what "Stacking" is, a word often found in AppSumo.accumulateIt is easy to understand if you imagine that

Upgrade to a higher plan or get additional features by purchasing multiple codes for the same productcan be done.

Some products allow this stacking.

How do I stack them?

Purchase codes. You can purchase just one code to try out at first and stack more codes to get additional features later.

You can also purchase multiple stacks of codes from the start.

Purchased codes can be redeemed from the "Products" page of your AppSumo account. Specific instructions and redemption links are provided under "Redemption instructions" in the "Actions" drop-down menu.

For security reasons, all orders have a "quantity limit". For example, if you are purchasing many codes,It may be necessary to make two separate purchases if you dare.For example, there are specific ways to get around the "only 9 codes per purchase" limitation by first purchasing 9 and then purchasing another additional code.

Note: Stacking applies primarily to code-based products.

Expiration date to redeem goods

Once you have purchased an item at AppSumo, the next step is to redeem it. Please note that when you do this,Effective date to redeemis set.

After purchase, the code must be redeemed for the product.

The product itself purchased with AppSumo can be used without limitation. However, the coupon to be redeemed has an expiration date.

Even if you don't plan to use the product yet,We recommend redeeming and activating the code immediately after purchase.

If the product you want is no longer available

Often the product you were considering purchasing at AppSumo is sold out. Unfortunately, it is very likely that a product that is no longer available will never be available again.

With any luck, they may be re-sold again at events such as Black Friday.

So, I'm going to talk about tips on how to avoid losing your head when the product you want is no longer available at AppSumo.

If you can't make a decision, buy.

Basically, I am a saver too. I will not buy products that I do not need. I also do not intend to push products that are not necessary to the readers of this article.

However, this is not the case for AppSumo.

If you can't decide what to do with it...,We recommend that you take the plunge and purchase the product.Because AppSumo has a 60-day money back guarantee.

Also, as explained above, after the sale ends, it will never again be available at the same price.

Therefore, if you are in doubt, we recommend that you purchase one. Many products cost less than 10,000 Japanese yen. Even if the worst happens and you fail, it will not be that big a shock.

Check for products nearing the end of sale.

This pageYou can check the information of each product that is about to be sold at the end of the sale at

I sometimes find myself saying, "Oh, this product is already sold out," just before the end of the sale. Therefore, I recommend that you check regularly if there is a product you are considering purchasing.

Now let me repeat,Discontinued items will not usually be returned.It is unlikely that they will be re-sold. Therefore, if you feel you need it, we recommend that you purchase it without hesitation.

If you have any concerns or questions about your purchase, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Can I resell the items I purchased?

First.Resale of AppSumo products is not recommended.

We mainly see cases of reselling on Facebook groups. However, first of all, reselling AppSumo products is a violation of the Terms of Use.

If a customer is identified who resells or re-purchases merchandise,There is a risk of permanent deactivation of the account.The AppSumo official clearly stated this matter.

There is also the risk of buying resale products.

There is also the risk of buying resale products. Typically, resale of AppSumo products is done through PayPal or WISE.However, safety is not guaranteed.There is no 60-day money back guarantee.

We have seen a number of people get into trouble for purchasing in the past. Others have had their accounts frozen for using the tool because they were deemed to have illegally transferred their accounts after purchase.

You should definitely not do this.

Important] In the event of a product problem after purchase

The following is the "Purchase Protection Policy" set forth by AppSumo. In case of any trouble, please refer to the following.

You will see the word "license" or the notation "License Tier X" in the price list on the AppSumo product page.

See the image below.

This is a blog post writing AI tool currently available at AppSumo. Each pricing plan is listed. The image is a little hard to see, so I tried to make it in a tabular format.

Looking at price alone, license Tier 1 is the cheapest.

But Tier 2, Tier 3, etc.Much more limited functionality compared to higher level plans.The following is a list of the most important factors that must be taken into account.

So if you want to generate more features and more characters, you need to upgrade to a higher plan.

Previously, AppSumo was sold in the form of "codes" (Code). In order to use higher level functions, it was necessary to purchase as many additional codes as necessary and stack them.

However, the current AppSumo is sold in the form of a license. Unlike codes, licenses do not need to be stacked.

For licenses, you can freely upgrade/downgrade your license from "Change plan" in your account after purchase.
