nTask Lifetime Deal: Ended on AppSumo, Tool Alive — Frozen Tier, Founder Record & Refund Window
By Dominique Abbey · Published
Short answer: the nTask lifetime deal on AppSumo has ended — the listing is marked unavailable — but nTask is alive and selling at ntaskmanager.com. If you own the LTD, your tier is frozen at what you bought and still works. If you don't, there is no lifetime version to buy.
Deal status: is the nTask lifetime deal still available?
No. We checked the AppSumo listing on 22 August 2026: "this deal is unavailable", no purchase path. The vendor site is live with standard per-user pricing.
nTask is a project-management tool — tasks, Kanban, Gantt, meetings, time tracking — and it sold on AppSumo at around $59 per code. Project-management LTDs follow a reliable pattern: the deal ends, the tool keeps shipping, and the tier you bought stays exactly as it was on the day you bought it. nTask fits the pattern.
Who's behind nTask
nTask was founded in 2015 by Fawad Ansari, who remains co-founder and CEO. The company is privately held, based in Irvine, California, and describes itself as unfunded — bootstrapped on revenue. It reports being used by over 200,000 teams.
For a lifetime buyer, "bootstrapped and still run by the founder a decade in" is a genuinely good signal. The failure mode for PM-tool LTDs is usually a venture-backed pivot or an acqui-hire that orphans the product; nTask has had neither.
What "frozen tier" means in practice
Your nTask LTD entitles you to the plan and limits that existed when you bought — user seats, storage, features. New capabilities nTask ships to subscription plans may or may not reach LTD accounts; in our experience they usually do for core features and usually do not for premium add-ons. That is normal and is not a revocation. Check your account's plan name against the current pricing page to see where you sit.
We have no graveyard record for nTask and no pattern of "pay again" complaints of the TrueRanker kind.
Refund window
The deal was sold on AppSumo, so the 60-day money-back window applied from purchase and is long closed. No resold code is refundable, and nTask is not obliged to honour a transferred one.
If you already own nTask
- It works; keep using it.
- Record your tier's seat cap. PM tools are where teams grow past the LTD without noticing, and the overage is a subscription.
- Run a duplicate check — PM is the single most over-bought category in lifetime-deal stacks. If you also own Taskade, ClickUp, or a second Kanban tool, pick one. We cover Taskade's status and ClickUp alternatives separately.
Frequently asked questions

The bottom line
nTask is the ordinary, good outcome for a lifetime deal: deal ended, product alive, founder still there, tier honoured. Keep it, watch your seat cap, and do not buy a second PM tool.
