Hey there, fellow SaasZilla user.
We love lifetime deals (LTDs), just like you – both as users and as the team here at SaasZilla. We wanted to share some friendly insights about how these deals work and what we all can expect. Think of this as our Friendly Guide to Lifetime Deals to you.
The Magic and Reality of LTDs
LTDs are pretty amazing, right? You get cool software for a one-time price, way less than a normal subscription. We love bringing you these deals! We also think it’s super important to be open and honest so everyone knows what to expect.
Did you know a basic LTD tier often costs about the same as just a few weeks of work coffees? That one-time payment is amazing value to kickstart the product's journey and support the founders as they build. For a tool to truly last 'lifetime,' the product itself needs to grow and be sustainable, which is what both you and the founders are aiming for. That's why, when we vet deals, we also look for founders with a good vision for the long run. So, keeping expectations real helps everyone.
What We Do at SaasZilla
We started SaasZilla because we missed the good old days of LTDs when deals were properly checked out. Most LTD places list almost anything, and you’re left wondering if the tool even works (spoiler: many don’t!).
We do things differently. We sift through a huge number of potential deals to find what we believe are the gems – the ones showing real promise, good foundations, and committed teams. Think of it as us aiming to bring you the 'top 10%' of what we see in terms of potential and readiness for an LTD.
While no one can predict the future perfectly in the startup world, our thorough checking process is all about greatly increasing your chances of finding a winner and reducing risks. That’s why you see fewer deals on SaasZilla than on other sites. We’re not looking for quantity; we’re looking for quality.
We check out the main features and see how the teams plan to fix bugs or add new things. But remember, even after our tests, software can act differently for each person. It depends on your tech stack (OS, device) or how you use it. Even the biggest companies like Facebook or Amazon have bugs or go down sometimes – no software is perfect!
It's also good to know that the software creators are separate companies from SaasZilla. We don’t have any special control over their tools or teams once a deal is live. That’s why it’s so important for you to test the tool yourself during the refund period. It’s the best way to see if it’s right for you and to get help from the founder’s support team if you need it.
What to Expect from an LTD Product
When you buy an LTD, you’re connecting with both SaasZilla and the company making the product. We pick our partners carefully, but most LTDs are for newer companies and software. This means a few things:
- Not always perfect (yet!): LTD products are often your ticket to get in on the ground floor while they're still growing – this means you get amazing value! Our vetting focuses on ensuring the core functions are solid and the founder is dedicated to that growth journey. Yes, there might be a few quirks or features still being polished (that's part of being an early supporter!), but it also means you’re getting access at a price far below what it will likely be once it's fully mature.
- Support can vary: Some teams are small, so support might be slower at busy times or due to exceptional situations.
- Plans can change: A founder’s roadmap for new features is a goal, not an strict guarantee. They need to focus on what keeps their business growing long-term, which actually benefits LTD users too!
- Businesses can change: startups sometimes shift direction, pivot or, unfortunately, even close down. It’s a known risk in the exciting startup world. But it’s also how you get to be part of groundbreaking new tools at incredible value when they succeed! Our job at SaasZilla is to identify those with the brightest potential, while our 60-day refund window provides you with a safety net to make your own assessment.
So, please, really try out the tool during the refund time. It's the best way to know if it suits you. Giving feedback to the founder can also help them improve, which is great for everyone.
Your Part in the LTD Adventure
LTDs are a team effort in a way! When you buy an LTD, especially for a new product, you're an early supporter.
Founders offer LTDs to build their user base. Just by using the tool, you’re helping them! If you like it, telling others is a big help too. And if you have time to share feedback, many founders really appreciate it. Think of it like this: your early support helps these tools get better and stronger, which is good for all users. A friendly and understanding vibe in the community helps everyone.
Most importantly for you: please test every tool as best you can during the refund period. We know life is busy, especially when you're running a business! But this window is truly your best opportunity to make sure the tool fits your needs and to use SaasZilla’s refund guarantee if it doesn’t.
Simply using the tool and being part of SaasZilla makes you a valued community member. If you have a moment to give feedback to product creators, that’s a wonderful bonus that helps them a lot. Thanks for being with us!
Our SaasZilla Promise & How We Help
We’re a small team here at SaasZilla, but we’re in this for the long haul with you. We work hard to find you great deals, often at better prices than you’ll find elsewhere.
Our main job is to be a trusted bridge between you and promising software creators. We want to offer you more safety and better info than you might get from deals found in random online groups. That’s why we started SaasZilla!
But, it’s important to know that we can’t control other companies. The software creators are responsible for their own products, support, and business decisions. We can’t force them to do things.
On a note, we also need to be real: there are risks with any new software. Always test it thoroughly during the refund period and do a bit of your own homework to make sure the deal and product is the right fit for you.
If you have an issue with a tool or a creator team:
- Try to solve it with the founder’s support team first via their official channels *check out our product support for SaasZilla deals best practices right here!
- If you see something really wrong or can’t sort things out, please email us right away with the details. We’ll do our best to help mediate.
What SaasZilla Can and Can’t Do (Being Upfront!)
And here’s what’s outside our control (the "Can't Do's"):
- We can’t control other companies or their decisions.
- We can’t access their systems or your accounts with them.
- We can’t force founders to add specific features or change their plans.
- We can’t guarantee a product will be around forever (startups can be unpredictable).
- We can’t offer refunds after the 60-day period, especially if something unexpected happens with the founder’s company that’s beyond our control.
Here’s our promise to do for you:
- Test all tools first: We check all products to make sure their core functionality works properly before we list them.
- Honest info: We give you the clearest possible details in our deal page so you know what to expect.
- Evaluate the creator's team: We check if the founder's team seems ready to provide support and getting their tool ready for their listing with us.
- Good deals: We negotiate hard to get you the best deal prices and terms.
- Help when we can: If you encounter a situation with a creator team that appears unresolved, we will do our best to mediate on your behalf.
- 60-day refunds: We offer a 60-day money-back guarantee on almost every deal. This gives you plenty of time to test.
Being upfront about these "Can't Do's" is key to our honest relationship with you. These boundaries are important because they allow us to focus all our energy and resources on the "Can Do's" that bring you real value: like our detailed vetting before a deal launches, negotiating those great prices, and providing that solid 60-day refund window for your peace of mind. This focus helps keep SaasZilla strong so we can keep finding amazing deals for our community.
Working Together
We believe our SaasZilla community works because we all get the amazing chances and the uncertainties that come with LTDs. It's about finding great software together, with open eyes and a friendly spirit.
Thanks so much for reading this! We hope it helps make the LTD world clearer and better for everyone.
Warmly,
The SaasZilla Team
