Compare WordPress lifetime deals side by side

The arena puts two WordPress plugins or themes with a lifetime license next to each other, point by point. You see the one-time payment, how many sites the license covers, what the vendor’s yearly subscription would add up to after one, three and five years, and which features, strengths and weaknesses the vendor data lists.

We do not crown a winner and we do not hand out scores.

Every figure comes from the vendor’s own pricing page and matches the deal pages in the catalog, so you can form your own opinion and pick the lifetime deal that fits your projects.

What you can compare

  • One-time price, regular price and current discount
  • Lifetime license against the yearly subscription after 1, 3 and 5 years
  • Sites covered, offer end and where you buy
  • Ecosystem, features, strengths and weaknesses from the vendor data
  • Your own priorities, highlighted in every comparison
