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.

How the arena works

  1. Step 1: Pick a duel or any two deals

    Start with a prepared pairing or choose your own.

  2. Step 2: Mark what matters to you

    Marked points stand out in the comparison.

  3. Step 3: Decide for yourself

    Plain facts, no verdict. Each offer is one click away.

How we put deals side by side

Affiliate disclosure

  • Vendor data

    Prices and licenses from the vendor’s page, with check date.

  • No ranking

    We don’t test the plugins ourselves and we don’t rank them.

  • Sides mean nothing

    Whether a deal stands left or right says nothing about it.

  • Marked links

    Affiliate links are marked and never change a single row.
