What actually happens to software deals
These numbers are not a survey or an estimate. They come from checking every product in the catalog every day. They update themselves; today is 4 Nov 2026.
Lifetime deals
The catalog holds 5 lifetime deals. 5 of them still answer. That is 100 %. In this industry "lifetime" means the lifetime of the product, not yours — and that difference only shows up years later.
Manufactured urgency
Nobody has moved a deadline yet. We will see how long that lasts.

How these numbers were arrived at
Every product in the catalog is checked once a day: whether the site answers, how quickly, whether the certificate is valid and whether the page content changed. Five consecutive failures, confirmed from other networks, is what we call unavailable. Prices and deadlines are recorded whenever the maker edits the listing.
The limits are worth stating plainly: we measure from one location, once a day, so a short outage goes unnoticed. The catalog is not a representative sample of the market — it holds the products somebody chose to add. And a site that stops answering does not always mean a company that stopped existing.
