Been thinking about running an LTD to boost early adoption but keep hearing mixed stories.
Some say it’s great for initial traction and cash flow. Others warn about ongoing support costs eating into profits.
What’s been your actual experience with lifetime deals?
Set hard limits or you’ll regret it. Cap their features and define exactly what ‘lifetime’ means in your terms. I’ve watched apps get crushed by LTD users demanding every new feature for free. Treat it like its own product tier, not your full premium plan. You get the cash upfront but keep your margins safe long-term.
Did one early on. Still getting support emails three years later.
Mixed bag honestly. Cash upfront is nice but those users stick around forever expecting free updates.
