mb9Q: Appsumo role and risk when buying LTD
Sharing my experience for transparency.
I bought Lifetime access Tier 3 to this tool through AppSumo.
The product is now no longer usable.
AppSumo confirmed that Lifetime access only lasts for the lifetime of the product — meaning if the product shuts down, the access ends as well.
But I’m curious how others view this:
Do you see Lifetime Deals as inherently carrying the risk of total loss if the company disappears?
Or do you expect some form of platform-level protection when the purchased product becomes permanently unusable?
Do you see this as part of the deal model?

First Site Audit stopped working... now this. IDK
I Guess "Lifetime access to RanksPro.io" +"All features above included" + "All future Pro Plan updates" means life time access until the tool decides otherwise. Really makes me rethink my WHOLE understanding of app sumo deals.

Something you'll have to get used to unfortunately. I would say 90% of the tools I bought here got shut down/abandoned within the first few months and you never get anything back. Its so easy for people to make whatever, place it on appsumo, grab a bunch of cash for lifetime deals and just shut it down
