Know which of your deals renew, and when
Not everything in a lifetime-deal stack is lifetime. A yearly plan bought beside the deals, a maker who moved buyers onto annual terms, a tier with a yearly add-on: DealKeep keeps the renewal date and cycle on each of those tools and tells you before the charge, so the ones that cost money again never hide among the ones that never will.

How renewal reminders work
- Mark the ones that renew. On any tool, pick the cycle (weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly) and enter the date it renews. Everything else in your library stays what it is: paid once.
- The next date takes care of itself. The date you entered is the anchor. DealKeep rolls it forward by the cycle, so the tool always shows its next renewal and nothing has to be updated afterwards.
- A reminder before the money goes out. Choose how many days ahead you want to hear about it. The email names the tool, the date and the amount, in time to cancel, downgrade or decide to keep it.
Renewal and refund window are two different clocks
The refund window is money coming back if you act before the marketplace's deadline. A renewal is money going out unless you act. DealKeep shows both on the tool and keeps the two alerts separate. See the refund windows by marketplace for how long each store gives you.
Questions
Why would a lifetime deal have a renewal date?
Not everything sold beside the lifetime deals is lifetime. Marketplaces also sell yearly plans, some makers moved buyers onto annual terms after the deal ended, and some tiers come with a yearly add-on. DealKeep lets you mark any tool as weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly and stores the date it renews, so the ones that cost money again stand out from the ones that never will.
How does the reminder work?
Enter the renewal date once and pick the billing cycle. DealKeep rolls that date forward by the cycle, so the tool always shows its next renewal, and emails you ahead of it: 30, 7 and 1 day before by default, or the days you choose in Settings. There is nothing to update after each renewal.
What if a reminder is missed or I change the date?
The date you entered is the anchor and the next renewal is computed from it, so a reminder that did not go out cannot shift the schedule. Changing the date or the cycle takes effect immediately, and the reminder follows the new date.
Is this the same as the refund window?
No. The refund window is the marketplace's deadline for getting your money back after a purchase. A renewal is money going out on a schedule. DealKeep shows both on the tool, and the two alerts are separate so you can keep one and switch the other off.
Does it show what the renewals add up to?
Yes. Every cycle is normalised to a yearly figure, so a monthly tool and a yearly one add up on the same line and you can see what the renewing part of your stack costs beside what you paid once for the rest.
