What 'portfolio' means for lifetime deals
A lifetime deal is an asset, not a bill. The portfolio question is the same one a stock holder asks: what do I own, what is it worth today, and what is dead. The right tracker answers all three on one page. The wrong one shows a list of names.
Our 60-deal test portfolio in April 2026 had a 31% defunct rate — 19 vendors out of 60 had shut down, been bought and shuttered, or stopped shipping for over 12 months. A portfolio tracker that does not surface that number is not a portfolio tracker. It is a memo pad.
Frequently asked questions
What is a lifetime deal portfolio tracker?
A tracker that shows every LTD you own in one view, with months-to-break-even per deal, refund windows, and a flag for dead vendors. Most subscription trackers do not do this.
How does break-even math work for lifetime deals?
We compare the price you paid to the closest recurring plan in our catalog. Break-even is the number of months it takes for the saved subscription cost to match the deal price. After that line, every month is pure value.
What is a Buyer Score?
A 0–100 grade for your LTD portfolio discipline. It rises when deals are actively used and falls when defunct vendors sit in the stack or refund windows are missed.
How do I find defunct LTDs in my stack?
LemSubs flips a deal to Defunct when a sunset is announced. Wallos and Notion need a manual check. A 31% defunct rate is normal for a portfolio over two years old.
Can I share my portfolio with my accountant?
Yes. LemSubs exports a CSV plus a public read-only LTD passport you can email. Notion and Sheets share natively.
