Chatbot Lifetime Deals in 2026: What's Live, What Ended, What to Ask
By Dominique Abbey · Published
Short answer: chatbot lifetime deals are one of the most heavily discounted categories on AppSumo and one of the fastest-moving. Checked on 30 August 2026, AnyChat is live from $49 with a 60-day refund window, while Robofy, Botsify, and mevo have all ended. Below is what is actually buyable today, what the ended deals mean for people who already own them, and the three questions worth asking before you spend.
What is live right now
AnyChat — from $49, verified live 30 August 2026. Three tiers on AppSumo (Starter $49, Advanced $98, Growth $147, against list prices of $108/$168/$228), rated 4.80 from 148 reviews, refundable up to 60 days from purchase. It puts website chat, WhatsApp, and a knowledge base into one inbox, which is the shape most small teams actually need — it is positioned against Tidio and Crisp rather than against enterprise support desks.
That is the honest state of the category: on the day of writing, one strong live option, not a shelf full of them. Chatbot deals appear and sell out quickly, so the list below matters as much as the list above.
What has ended — and what that means if you own it
Each of these was checked directly against its AppSumo listing on 30 August 2026.
- Robofy — the listing reads "Sold out" and "This deal is unavailable." Three lifetime tiers were sold (Professional, Enterprise, Reseller), with a 60-day money-back guarantee at the time. Rated 3.0 from 2 reviews.
- Botsify — "Sold out" and unavailable. Sold as a 1-, 2-, and 3-code stack with a 60-day guarantee; rated 4.85 from 27 reviews. Paid add-ons were offered alongside the deal (a WhatsApp automation package and a managed service), which is worth knowing if you assumed the code covered everything.
- mevo — "Sold out" and unavailable, with three lifetime tiers by chatbot count and token limits. mevo did not simply disappear: the project was open-sourced, with the code and docs published on GitHub and self-hosting available. That is a materially better outcome than a shutdown, and it is why it matters to check what actually happened to a tool rather than reading "sold out" as "dead."
An ended deal is not automatically a dead product, and a live product is not automatically a safe purchase. Those are two different questions, and both are worth asking.
Three questions before you buy a chatbot LTD
1. Who pays for the AI tokens? This is the question that separates chatbot deals from most other lifetime software. Every reply the bot writes costs the vendor money. Deals handle it in one of three ways: a monthly token or message allowance included in your tier, bring-your-own OpenAI key, or an add-on you pay for separately. Find the answer on the deal page before you buy — a "lifetime" bot with a monthly message cap is a different product from one where you supply the key.
2. What happens to your bot if the vendor stops? Ask whether your training data and conversation history are exportable, and whether the widget breaks or simply stops answering. mevo's open-sourcing is the best-case answer; most vendors do not commit to anything in advance.
3. Does the tier cap match your real traffic? Chatbot tiers are usually capped on websites, chatbots, seats, and training-content volume. Those caps bite quickly. Buy for the traffic you have plus a year of growth, not for the traffic you hope for — and check what happens when you exceed a cap, since some products throttle and some simply stop replying.
The refund window is your real safety net
Every deal above carried a 60-day refund window on AppSumo — that is the standard AppSumo guarantee, and the exact window is printed on each deal page. Sixty days is long enough to install the widget on a real site, train it on real content, and watch real conversations. It is also long enough to forget entirely, which is how most people lose the protection they paid nothing extra for.
The practical rule: install the bot in week one, and put the refund deadline on your calendar the day you buy. If the bot is still not answering questions correctly at the halfway mark, that is your signal.
DealKeep's LTD tracker does this automatically — it tags each purchase with its marketplace refund window, alerts you before the deadline closes, and flags tools whose founders have gone quiet. The Free Forever plan covers 10 tools.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a chatbot lifetime deal available right now? Yes — AnyChat was live on AppSumo from $49 when this page was last verified on 30 August 2026, with three tiers and a 60-day refund window. Deals change fast, so check the listing before you buy; a live deal today can be sold out next week.
What happened to the Robofy, Botsify, and mevo lifetime deals? All three listings show as sold out and unavailable on AppSumo as of 30 August 2026. mevo's project was open-sourced, with code and docs on GitHub and self-hosting available.
How long is the AppSumo refund window on a chatbot deal? Most AppSumo deals carry a 60-day money-back guarantee, and each of the deals covered here stated exactly that. The window is printed on the individual deal page, so confirm it there.
Should I buy a chatbot LTD if I already own one? Usually no. Chatbot tools overlap heavily, and a second one rarely replaces a subscription you are still paying for. Check what you already own by category before buying — duplicate purchases are the most common way an LTD stack wastes money.
