Lifetime Deal Tracker for AppSumo, StackSocial & PitchGround

What is a lifetime deal tracker?

A lifetime deal tracker is a system that records every lifetime deal (LTD) you've purchased — from AppSumo, StackSocial, PitchGround, SaaS Mantra, DealFuel, or Dealify — along with the data that matters after the sale: refund deadline, tier cap, activation status, and founder health.

Why a tracker beats a spreadsheet

• Refund windows surface automatically. AppSumo gives you 60 days; StackSocial 30; PitchGround 14. A tracker reminds you before each deadline closes — a spreadsheet just sits there.
• One source of truth. Marketplace order pages get archived, deal pages get pulled, founder dashboards change owners. The tracker keeps the historical record even when the marketplace forgets.
• Status flags catch problems early. If a tool's founder goes silent or the refund policy shifts, the tracker raises a flag; you decide whether to refund while you still can.

Lifetime deal tracker template vs. a purpose-built tracker

Search "lifetime deal tracker" and the first results are templates — a Notion board, a Google Sheets tab, a Coda doc, an Airtable base. They are a fine place to start, and they all fail the same way: they only know what you remember to type into them.

Where every tracker template breaks

• Manual entry. You paste deals in by hand — until the week you buy six in a Black Friday sale and never catch up.
• No refund clock. A spreadsheet cell can't watch a 60-day AppSumo window or a 14-day PitchGround one and warn you before it closes.
• No status awareness. A template never notices a founder went quiet or a tool stopped loading; it just shows the row you typed months ago.
• You stop updating it. Every LTD spreadsheet dies the same death — abandoned by month two, right when you needed it most.

What a purpose-built tracker adds

DealKeep imports deals automatically, auto-tags each refund window by marketplace, alerts you 7, 3, and 1 days before it closes, and flags tools whose founders go dark. It is the upgrade from the template you were always going to abandon — and the Free Forever plan tracks your first 10 tools at no cost.

Refund deadlines, never missed

Every LTD comes with a refund window. Miss it and the $79 line item is permanent. DealKeep watches the clock for you.

How DealKeep tracks refund eligibility

• Auto-detected refund window per marketplace. Imported deals get tagged with the right window length based on where you bought.
• Email + in-app alerts. 7-day, 3-day, and day-of reminders before each refund window closes.
• Refund-eligible filter. One click to see every tool you can still return today.
• Marketplace-specific links. Jump straight to the order page where you actually request the refund.

Status tracking: Active, Refunded, Returned

A lifetime deal isn't really "lifetime" if you can't tell which tools are still earning their seat. DealKeep tracks every state transition.

The five LTD states

• Active — the tool is working, the founder is engaged, and you're using it.
• Inactive — you bought it, you haven't logged in for 90+ days. Candidate for refund or removal.
• Refunded — you returned it inside the refund window. Recorded so it doesn't show up as "lost money".
• Returned — you stopped using it after the refund window closed. Track for ROI math.
• Founder gone — the founder stopped responding or the company shut down. Flagged automatically.

How DealKeep tracks every LTD you buy

Tracking is automatic, not manual. Connect once, every future purchase shows up.

Step 1 — Import in 30 seconds

Chrome extension grabs your AppSumo orders. Or paste a list. Or forward your StackSocial order email. DealKeep parses deal terms, refund window, and tier cap automatically.

Step 2 — Auto-tag refund window

Each deal gets the right refund window based on the marketplace. AppSumo deals get 60 days; StackSocial gets 30; PitchGround 14. No manual entry.

Step 3 — Watch the clock

DealKeep monitors every refund deadline and alerts you 7 days, 3 days, and on the day-of. Filter the dashboard to "refund-eligible" and see exactly what's still returnable.

Step 4 — Mark status as you go

One click to mark a tool Active, Refunded, Returned, or Founder gone. Status drives the ROI math. Status drives the dashboard.

Track lifetime software deals from every platform

A lifetime deal is a one-time payment for software you would normally rent through a monthly subscription. That single price is the entire appeal — pay once, keep lifetime access, and save thousands versus the recurring plan. It is also exactly why a tracker matters: a one-time purchase leaves no monthly invoice to remind you the tool exists, so without a system it quietly disappears.

Every marketplace, every software category

DealKeep tracks lifetime software deals from AppSumo, StackSocial, PitchGround, SaaS Mantra, DealFuel, Dealify, and 20+ more — across every category you actually buy in: marketing and content marketing tools, AI writing, SEO, video, automation, design, and analytics. One platform, one stack, no matter where each deal came from.

Who uses a lifetime deal tracker

• The refund-window saver. You grabbed six deals in a Black Friday sale and need to decide — before the clock runs out — which to keep and which to return for a refund.
• The agency owner. You run client work on a dozen lifetime tools and need to prove each one still earns its seat instead of leaking budget.
• The serial Sumo-ling. You have bought lifetime access to hundreds of tools over the years and genuinely cannot remember what you own without a tracker watching it for you.

Lifetime deal tracker FAQ

Is there a free lifetime deal tracker template for Notion or Google Sheets?

Plenty exist, and they work until you stop updating them. The catch is that a Notion, Sheets, or Coda template is manual — it can't auto-import your orders, watch refund windows, or flag a founder who's gone quiet. DealKeep does all three, and its Free Forever plan tracks up to 10 tools at no cost, so you get a real tracker without the spreadsheet upkeep.

What's the best lifetime deal tracker?

The best tracker is the one that updates itself. A template you maintain by hand loses to a tool that imports purchases, auto-detects each marketplace's refund window, and alerts you before deadlines close — which is what DealKeep does across AppSumo, StackSocial, PitchGround, and 20+ more marketplaces.

How long is the AppSumo refund window?

Most AppSumo deals carry a 60-day money-back guarantee, but the exact window is printed on each deal page — see AppSumo's official refund policy. DealKeep auto-tags every imported deal with its marketplace window (AppSumo 60 days, StackSocial typically 30, PitchGround 14) and alerts you before it closes.

Can I track deals from marketplaces other than AppSumo?

Yes. DealKeep tracks lifetime software deals from any source — AppSumo, StackSocial, PitchGround, SaaS Mantra, DealFuel, Dealify, and direct founder deals. If you have the order email or a link, it can be tracked.

How is a tracker different from a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet records what you type; a tracker watches the clock. It auto-detects each refund window, flags tools whose founders have gone quiet, and surfaces what is still returnable today — none of which a static sheet does on its own.

Does tracking my deals cost anything?

No. The Free Forever plan tracks up to 10 tools. The 7-day Pro trial unlocks unlimited deals and every alert, with no credit card and no charge without an explicit choice.

7-day Pro trial includes the full tracker — unlimited deals, all alerts, every marketplace. You are never charged without an explicit choice.

"DealKeep watches every refund window so you never lose another $79 to a tool you forgot to return. The tracker pays for itself the first month you use it."
