Lifetime AI Tools, Are They Really Worth the Money or Just Hype?

I’ve been checking out AI tools lately and found Oncely AI, which offers lifetime deals. I’m usually wary of “lifetime” offers, but I decided to try it out for some project management tools. Honestly, it’s nice not having monthly payments to worry about. Has anyone else tried Oncely or similar lifetime deals? I’m curious if this is actually a smarter move long-term, or if I’m just delaying the switch back to subscriptions later. What do you guys think?

What did you get a lifetime deal on? There’s 2 scenarios with AI apps only because it costs money to run them
their gonna close shop and keep the money Or second is that they’re doing it to validate if there is a market for their application and after a few sales they will switch to monthly.

Honestly, I’m still unsure about Oncely AI. What if they shut down? A lifetime deal doesn’t mean much if the platform isn’t around, right? Anyone else feeling the same way?

I think Oncely is mostly just an AI affiliate wrapper for Appsumo with a Shopify store in between. So, your deal is really with the SaaS, not with Oncely.

It’s risky. You don’t see OpenAI offering that kind of deal. Other companies can run into financial problems at any time. But if the lifetime deal only lasts as long as the hype around the tech, it might not be worth it.
