Q: If this was a LTD, I would have bought it (even at a higher price point)...AppSumo is about LTDs

Apr 3, 2025A: Yes, the challenge with offering a lifetime deal is that it simply wouldn’t be economically sustainable—server costs are ongoing, and the service requires consistent maintenance to ensure high uptime. That’s also why AppSumo recognizes that, in this case, an LTD isn’t a practical option.
That said, when it’s time to renew after the first year, you’ll be able to continue with us directly under the same heavily discounted terms (less than $1.6 per site per month), so it’s still a fantastic deal!
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out!
iXzenoSPLUSI disagree, Nick. Sure, offering LTDs *permanently* may be unsustainable. But *temporarily* during your campaign here on AppSumo? It's perfectly feasible. Many SaaS do limited Early Bird LTDs. In fact, I'd argue that it'd even be more beneficial — you get a nice boost in upfront capital, loyal early adopters, and tons of traffic/marketing. It's all about "how" you strategically offer LTDs.
Nick_TasteWPPLUSAppSumo limits responses, so in short: it’s high maintenance — e.g. when clients break their sites, we check what plugin caused it (not something most hosters do). Server costs are ongoing too, and people expect high uptime. Hosting isn’t your typical SaaS.
The offer’s actually strong: ~$1.60/site/month, and kind of lifetime since users can renew under the same conditions.
