A: Thanks for your question. The lifetime deal tiers (Tier 1 and Tier 2) are structured differently because they're a one-time purchase, not a recurring subscription. While the credit amounts are lower, the feature parity matches the Plus and Professional plans exactly.

We also have to account for the costs of our upstream providers and the fact that lifetime deals are a long-term commitment. This setup allows us to offer a sustainable deal while still providing full functionality.

Many other AppSumo lifetime deals follow a similar model, where lifetime tiers have reduced credits compared to monthly plans but maintain full feature access.
