10 Lifetime Deals, 1 Purchase: Honest AppSumo Review | Sumo Sunday #1

Are AppSumo lifetime deals worth it? I spent two hours researching 10 lifetime software deals from AppSumo, Dealify, StackSocial and DealMirror, and bought exactly one. Here is my honest take on every deal, including the fine print most buyers never read. Welcome to the first ever Sumo Sunday on Drafted Tech. Every Sunday I go through the lifetime deals (LTDs) in my pipeline and tell you which ones are worth your money, which ones to skip, and what to use instead. No sponsors, no affiliate pressure, just the research. This week's verdicts: LifetimeCloud 1TB Secure Storage (StackSocial): 1 star, pass Snappyit AI product photos (AppSumo): 2 stars, pass Prismical AI meeting notes (AppSumo): 2 stars, pass Flow AI LinkedIn outreach (AppSumo): 1 star, pass BuzzHooks AI video ads (AppSumo): 1 star, pass Vois Studio text to speech (AppSumo): 3 stars, maybe OmniSignal MCP (Dealify): 4 stars, maybe FlexClip AI video editor (DealMirror): 1 star, pass Glanc AI marketing reports (Dealify): 1 star, pass inTouch email and SMS marketing (AppSumo): 4 stars, bought What I check on every lifetime deal: Does the lifetime plan actually include the features on the sales page? What happens to "lifetime" when they release new AI models? Is there a free tool or pay as you go option that costs less? How old is the company, and who is behind it? Are the reviews real?
