Q: Why did LingoDeer stop selling Lifetime memberships?
We used to offer Lifetime access with the idea that it would give us enough upfront funding for product development, content creation, and technological improvements during the early stages of our LingoDeer journey.
However, we have always been aware that selling Lifetime memberships is not a healthy or sustainable business model in the long term. It was a necessary choice to ensure the survival and growth of our project, but as LingoDeer and its user base have grown, we've taken on new challenges, developed new features, expanded our course lineup, and started to make more ambitious plans for the future. To ensure that LingoDeer can continue to improve and innovate for many years to come, we decided to make a switch to more flexible subscription plans as our main source of revenue.
Q: But I really want to buy Lifetime! Please bring it back!
We might consider making Lifetime plans available for purchase on the website in the future, but at the moment, selling Lifetime access is not compatible with our growth. If you're interested in purchasing a long-term plan at a discount, please refer to Are there any alternatives to Lifetime plans?
Q: What about users who already purchased Lifetime?
All learners who previously purchased a Lifetime membership will continue to enjoy full Lifetime access to all courses and features, exactly as promised.
However, you should note that all memberships, including Lifetime memberships, grant personal, non-transferable usage rights to the original purchaser only. If we discover evidence of resale, transfer, or multi-user usage of your Lifetime membership, it will be permanently and irreversibly revoked without compensation. This policy exists to protect the fairness of our learning community and to ensure the long-term sustainability of the platform.
Q: I like the idea of paying once and not worrying about renewing my subscription. Are there any alternatives to Lifetime plans?
Yes! If you're committed to long-term study and would rather pay a lump sum than subscribe, consider the following plans:
- 3-Year Membership
(One-time payment, no auto-renewal; equivalent to three Annual memberships at a discount) - 6-Year Membership
(One-time payment, no auto-renewal; equivalent to six Annual memberships at a bigger discount)
These plans are available on our official website ? https://www.lingodeer.com/purchase/lingodeer/plan
Q: Why are the long‑term plans only available for purchase on the LingoDeer website?
App stores charge commissions and impose pricing limitations that make it difficult to offer deeply discounted long‑term plans. By offering these options on our website, we can reduce unnecessary fees, provide better pricing for our learners, and invest more resources directly into improving LingoDeer.
Q: I bought a membership plan on your website. Can I use it in the LingoDeer app?
Yes! Your account status and learning progress should synchronize across multiple devices, as long as you use the same credentials to log into your account. To make sure you do it right, follow these steps.
