A: When Spayee was first introduced in the Indian market, we offered Lifetime Deals (LTDs) as they aligned with our business model at that time. The original Spayee platform operated on a subscription model with limited features, which made LTDs financially sustainable due to its simplified architecture and predictable ongoing costs.

After Graphy's acquisition of Spayee, we evolved to a hybrid business model combining revenue-share and flat subscription components. As a lean team, maintaining multiple product versions became unsustainable, so we gradually migrated to the Graphy business model. Some LTD users chose to continue using the older version of the platform, which is why they don't have access to newer features that were developed for the integrated Graphy platform.

As we expanded to the US market, our business model further evolved. We now operate with two distinct models: our hybrid revenue-share plus subscription model in India, and a pure flat subscription model with no revenue sharing in the US. This transformation, while beneficial for many creators, significantly altered the economics that previously made lifetime deals viable.

Despite significant business changes, we've honored our commitment to Spayee LTD users for over 5 years - through the Graphy acquisition and later the Unacademy acquisition. This support timeline exceeds industry norms, where many acquired products either discontinue LTDs entirely or provide minimal support for much shorter periods.
