Where to Find Lifetime Software Deals in 2026: 8 Marketplaces, Refund Windows, Who Each Suits

Short answer: Lifetime software deals are sold in two places in 2026: eight marketplaces (AppSumo, Dealify, DealFuel, DealMirror, Prime Club, RocketHub, GrabLTD and StackSocial) and directly from vendors such as pCloud and Icedrive. If you want to know which deals are worth buying right now, our verified list of the best lifetime deals is the page to read; this one is only the directory. It still matters, because the refund window runs from none at all on StackSocial to 60 days on AppSumo, and that decides how long you get to test what you bought.

The 8 marketplaces at a glance

Refund windows are the store defaults as read on 17 October 2026; a deal page can shorten or remove them. The sourced version, with a link to each policy page, is on our AppSumo alternatives hub. "Not checked" means we did not verify a membership or coupon programme for that store, so do not assume one exists.

Marketplace	Refund window	What it sells	Discount programme
AppSumo	60 days from purchase, printed on each deal page	Broad, curated software with frequent launches	AppSumo Plus, $99 a year, 10% off every order (checked 5 September 2026)
Dealify	30 days from purchase (terms checked 24 October 2026; no member extension stated)	Growth, sales and marketing SaaS	Not checked
DealFuel	30 days from purchase unless the deal states otherwise	Developer tools, design assets and courses	Not checked
DealMirror	30 days from purchase (60 for Prime members)	A broad catalog that fills the gaps the bigger stores skip	Not checked
Prime Club	30 days by default; a deal page can shorten it or make a deal non-refundable	Heavily vetted SaaS with a community that reports which deals hold up	Not checked
RocketHub	30-day guarantee, stated on its storefront	Curated software and SaaS lifetime deals	Not checked
GrabLTD	14, 30 or 60 days from purchase, set per deal	Curated SaaS deals plus deals relayed from other networks	Not checked
StackSocial	No day-count window; revealing the licence code ends it	Mainstream software, apps and courses	15% off your first order for joining its emails (checked 31 August 2026)

Who each marketplace suits

AppSumo suits anyone buying their first lifetime deal: the 60-day window is the longest default on the list and it is printed on the deal page. Plus at $99 a year pays for itself only if 10% of your yearly AppSumo spend exceeds $99; some listings are Plus exclusives that need the membership.

DealMirror suits buyers who shop there often enough to use its membership tier, which extends the window to 60 days for members; Dealify suits marketing-tool buyers, with 30 days for everyone on the terms we checked. DealFuel suits developers and designers.

Prime Club and RocketHub suit buyers who want a community verdict on whether a deal holds up. Read the deal page on Prime Club: it can shorten the 30 days or remove the refund, and there is no refund if the company shuts down.

GrabLTD suits buyers who read the refund line on every deal, because the window is set per deal and can be as short as 14 days. StackSocial suits buyers who can judge a tool from its listing and reviews before claiming it, because revealing the code ends refund eligibility.

Lifetime pricing sold directly by the vendor

Some well-known lifetime plans never appear on a marketplace. Four we keep current pages on:

• pCloud: 500 GB for $219 and 2 TB for $499 one-time, 14-day money-back guarantee on its pricing page (checked 17 October 2026).
• Icedrive: 500 GB for $399 and 2 TB for $699 one-time (checked 17 October 2026). Its plans page says 30 days money back and its terms say 14; treat 14 as the deadline.
• SureCart: one-store lifetime licence from $699, 14-day guarantee (prices as shown on 22 August 2026).
• ThriveCart: Standard plan $495 one-time, no advertised money-back window on it (checked 22 August 2026).

The trade-off is simple. You are the vendor's customer with no marketplace policy behind you, and the refund windows are 14 days or not stated, against AppSumo's 60.

Marketplaces that have closed

PitchGround and SaaS Mantra no longer sell lifetime deals. If an older article sends you to either for a current deal, the information is out of date.

How to tell a marketplace is legit

Three quick checks for a store that is not in the table above. Find the refund policy page itself, not a summary, and note whether the window runs from purchase or ends on code reveal. Look for buyer reviews with vendor replies on the deal page. Check that the vendor's own site mentions the deal. Our trust-signals checklist, nine signals to check before you buy, publishes 13 November.

Every row in the table is a different clock. DealKeep imports your purchases (AppSumo, email sync, CSV, Chrome extension), keeps every deal, code and refund date in one place, and alerts you before each window closes.

Frequently asked questions

Which lifetime deal marketplace has the longest refund window? AppSumo, at 60 days from purchase on most Marketplace deals, printed on each deal page. DealMirror reaches 60 days only for paid members; Dealify stays at 30 on its current terms. GrabLTD can be 60 days on some deals, but the window is set per deal and can be as short as 14.

Is StackSocial a lifetime deal marketplace? It sells lifetime licences for mainstream software, apps and courses, but it publishes no day-count refund window. Revealing the licence code ends refund eligibility, so evaluate the tool before you claim it.

Is PitchGround still selling lifetime deals? No. PitchGround and SaaS Mantra no longer sell lifetime deals. Any article pointing you to either for a current deal is out of date.
