Lifetime deal (AppSumo)

What the AppSumo tiers include, how activation works, and the deal terms.

Quibo is available as a lifetime deal on AppSumo. You pay once and keep a monthly article quota for the life of the product. There are four tiers, each with the features of a subscription plan (tier 1 Solo, tier 2 Starter, tier 3 Growth, tier 4 Agency) and its own monthly volumes. Tiers never stack: one license is in effect per workspace.

All tiers include every connector (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Ghost, HubSpot, Sanity, Framer), every language, the calendar and scheduling, brand voice, scheduled publishing with batch approval, and all future updates to the plan. A brand profile is extracted from each connected site, so brand profiles follow the site limit. Priority support is included on the Business plan only.

Activating

  1. On AppSumo, open Products, find Quibo and click Activate Now (also under Actions, Redemption information). AppSumo sends you to Quibo.
  2. Create your account with Google or with your email, or sign in if you already use Quibo. If you sign up with email, open the confirmation link in the same browser: the license waits there for 7 days, so you can generate your free article first if you like.
  3. On the Activate your AppSumo license screen (Billing, AppSumo), click Activate license. Your tier applies within seconds.

Without a subscription, the account moves to the tier with a full monthly quota, and its monthly cycle starts on the day of activation. If you already subscribe to a plan, see Lifetime and a subscription below.

Next time, sign in to Quibo directly, or click Launch Quibo on your AppSumo Products page: it opens your dashboard if you are signed in with the account that holds the license, and otherwise asks you to sign in with that account.

Only the organization owner or an admin can attach a license. Signed up but no license on your account, for example because you confirmed your email in another browser? Click Activate Now (or Launch Quibo) on AppSumo again, in the browser where you are signed in to Quibo. A license key can be attached to one Quibo organization only; the same screen also accepts a pasted key.

One license per workspace

An organization (workspace) has one lifetime license in effect at a time. Licenses never add up.

  • A higher tier replaces the current one. Its limits apply at once, in place of the old ones, and the usage already counted this cycle stays counted. For example, activating tier 3 on a tier 2 account that has generated 10 articles this cycle leaves 15 of tier 3's 25 articles until the next reset.
  • An equal or lower tier is refused with the message You already have an equal or higher lifetime tier on this account.
  • Upgrading on AppSumo replaces your license with the higher tier. Quibo applies it within a minute and keeps your reset date.
  • A refund or deactivation recomputes the tier from the licenses still valid on the account. With none left, the account returns to Free, or to its subscription if one is active.

Monthly reset

Lifetime quotas reset every month on the anniversary of the license activation: activate on the 10th and your articles, keywords and research runs start over on the 10th of every month. A license activated on the 29th, 30th or 31st resets on the last day of shorter months. Dates are counted in UTC.

While a subscription runs alongside the license, the counters reset with the subscription instead (see below).

Deal terms

  • Monthly quotas do not roll over. Whatever is unused when the cycle ends is gone.
  • No daily limit. The whole monthly quota is available from the first day of each cycle.
  • Article packs (10, 30 or 100 articles for $39, $99 or $299) are available on every tier for extra volume, billed directly by Quibo through Stripe. They never expire and are used only after the monthly quota. Extra keywords ($0.09 each) work the same way for keywords.
  • Redeem within 60 days of purchase. Refunds follow AppSumo's 60-day policy; a refund deactivates the license and the tier is recomputed as described above.
  • Transparency obligations for published content stay with you, the publisher. Quibo marks every article as AI-generated and human-reviewed in the structured data and gives you a reader-facing disclosure toggle; see AI transparency.

Lifetime and a subscription

You can subscribe to a plan on top of a lifetime license. Nothing is summed: for each limit (articles, keywords, sites and brand profiles, team seats, research runs) the higher of the two applies, and a feature is on if either includes it. Billing shows both, for example Growth + Lifetime T4.

With tier 4 and Growth, for example, you get 75 articles and 375 keywords a month from Growth; weekly research, 20 sites and 20 seats from tier 4; and white-label reports from tier 4 on top of Growth's features.

How the counters behave:

  • Subscribing on top of your tier. Each limit becomes the higher of the two at once. A plan with more articles a month than your tier starts fresh counters; any other plan keeps the usage already counted in your current lifetime cycle. From then on the counters reset with the subscription instead of on the license anniversary: on each renewal payment, or every month on the day the subscription started if you pay annually.
  • Activating a license while you subscribe. The same rule: the higher limits apply at once, the usage already counted stays counted, and the counters keep resetting with the subscription.
  • Switching plan while subscribed works as for any subscription: the new limits apply at once and the usage already counted this cycle stays counted until the next reset. See Upgrade or downgrade.
  • When the subscription ends, the account returns to your lifetime tier's limits, not to Free, and the counters follow the license anniversary again. If an anniversary has passed since they last reset, they start fresh at once; otherwise the usage already counted stays counted until the next anniversary.

Nothing is lost along the way: articles, keywords, sites, pack articles and extra keywords stay in your account.
