I see more and more entrepreneurs talk  about the fallouts of their experience with lifetime deal platforms like AppSumo.

Answer

Lifetime deal platforms can be great for discovering affordable software options, especially for startups and freelancers, but the long-term viability of the product can sometimes be uncertain. It's a cost-effective way to access tools, but research and caution are essential.

From the customer's perspective, I don't use any lifetime deal products. I feel like it kind of brings down the value of the product in customer's eyes.
