Dealpuffin vs GrabLTD
GrabLTD aggregates lifetime deals: pay once, use the software for the life of the product. The same job shows up at DealMirror, Dealify, PitchGround, and StackSocial. The buyer is shopping a license. The founder is running a campaign that cashes in recurring revenue up front.
Dealpuffin is the other offer. The product stays a subscription. The founder publishes a Stripe promotion code they control. The early adopter pastes it at that product's checkout and pays the product. When the coupon's duration ends, Stripe's normal price applies, unless the coupon itself was forever.
A lifetime-deal shop fits a buyer who wants the tool without a monthly bill. Dealpuffin fits an early product that wants those same curious people as subscribers, and wants the listing to be able to show MRR from Stripe so the product looks like a business, not a campaign.

Frequently asked questions
How is Dealpuffin different from a lifetime-deal marketplace?
Those sites sell a pay-once license. Dealpuffin reveals a code the seeker uses on the product's own subscription checkout.
Can one product do both?
Yes. A lifetime campaign is a different product decision from a three-month coupon for early users. Dealpuffin is only the second one.
