Built for BitsDuJour lifetime deal buyers
A decade of BitsDuJour deals, one dashboard.
BitsDuJour has been running daily software deals since 2008. If you've bought there for years, DealKeep is the tracker that finally catalogs that long tail so it stops living in forum posts and forgotten license emails.
The BitsDuJour buyer's problem
- Your order history crosses a decade: BitsDuJour purchases from 2012 aren't in any modern tool. DealKeep gives them a home so you can see what you still own.
- Classic software doesn't auto-import: Many BitsDuJour vendors ship license keys via email, not a shopping cart. Manual entry with a good dashboard is better than no dashboard.
- Upgrade paths are forgettable: Which BitsDuJour deal entitles you to free updates? Which expired at v2? A per-deal notes field keeps the answer in one place.
How DealKeep helps
DealKeep is built for long-tail buyers: manual entry with bulk-add mode, a notes field per deal for upgrade paths, smart stacks for utilities vs creative tools, and refund-window tracking for the modern purchases.

Questions about DealKeep + BitsDuJour
Is BitsDuJour legit, and is it still running?
Yes on both counts. Checked 31 August 2026, BitsDuJour is live and publishing current dated offers — its own description is that it reviews Mac and PC apps daily and gets readers discounts of up to 100%, and the homepage was showing active discounts plus an upcoming-deals queue. It is one of the longest-running software deal sites of its kind.
How do BitsDuJour deals actually work?
Each deal runs for roughly a day, which is the whole point of the format and the main thing to understand before you buy. Discounts run deep and some offers are free giveaways. Many are perpetual desktop licences for a specific version rather than the hosted, always-updating SaaS lifetime deals you get on AppSumo, so read what you are buying: a licence for version 12 is not the same promise as lifetime access to a web app.
What is the refund policy on a BitsDuJour purchase?
Do not assume one. BitsDuJour promotes deals from many individual software vendors, and terms are set by whoever actually sells you the licence, so the refund position varies deal by deal. Check the terms on the specific offer before you buy, and keep the order email — with a one-day deal there is no going back to the page later.
Why do BitsDuJour purchases get lost so easily?
Because of the format. The deal page disappears within a day, the licence key arrives by email from the vendor rather than from BitsDuJour, and there is no central purchases dashboard to return to. A year later the email is buried and the version you own is unclear. That is exactly the record DealKeep keeps for you.
Does DealKeep replace BitsDuJour?
No — they do different jobs. BitsDuJour is where you find and buy the deal; DealKeep is where the purchase lives afterwards, alongside everything you have bought on AppSumo, StackSocial, Dealify and elsewhere, with the licence details, what it replaced, and whether the vendor is still shipping.
What does it cost?
The Free Forever plan tracks up to 10 tools. The 7-day free trial unlocks unlimited deals and every alert, with no credit card and no charge without an explicit choice.
