Ever Buy a "Lifetime Deal" That Died?

Yeah. Us too.
You see it on AppSumo. "Lifetime access! $49!" Seems great.
You buy it. Use it for a few months. Love it.
Then updates stop. Support slows. Features freeze.
A year later, you check in. Product's dead.

This Keeps Happening. Here's Why.

That founder got $14 from your $49 purchase. After AppSumo’s cut.

They owe you lifetime access. Forever. For $14.

Hosting costs them $2/month. Support another $1/month. Development time? Forget about it.

The math doesn’t work. The product dies. You lose.

Products on ToolSalsa Don't Die Like Other Platforms

Why? Because we don’t force founders into unsustainable pricing.

Founders here:

  • Keep 100% of revenue
  • Price sustainably (monthly, annual, whatever makes sense)
  • Can actually afford to support you long-term
  • Aren’t trapped in lifetime deal death spirals

When you buy from ToolSalsa, you’re buying a product that will actually exist next year.

But Are the Deals Good?

Depends what you mean by “good.”

Will you get a $2,000 product for $49 lifetime? Probably not.

Will you get fair pricing on tools that last? Yes.

Will you support founders who can actually build what they promise? Absolutely.

The Real Value

You’re not just buying software. You’re buying peace of mind.

Peace of mind that:

  • The product will get updates
  • Support will respond
  • Features will improve
  • The founder won’t burn out and abandon it

Because they can actually afford to run the business.

What's In It For You?

1. Products that survive

Sustainable pricing = sustainable products.

2. Better support

Founders who aren’t drowning can actually help you.

3. Real relationships

Buy directly from the founder. Not through a middleman.

4. Feel good purchases

You’re supporting real people building real things.
