Pay once.
Keep it forever.
Lifetime Premium access to Makro – every feature, every future release, on every device you own. No subscription, no renewal email, no surprise price hikes the year after you buy.
Every Premium feature – paid for once.
This isn't a trimmed-down tier or a "lifetime Basic." You get the full Premium plan, every feature we ship from here to the end of the product, on the best terms we'll ever offer.
How fast does it pay for itself?
$149 sounds like a lot until you put it next to a subscription that renews automatically, forever. The break-even point is closer than you think – and the numbers below use the actual discounted annual rate, not the monthly-rate-times-twelve figure most lifetime pitches use.
A small mark of being here early.
Every Founding Member's license shows this status on the Makro extension popup, permanent for the lifetime of your account. It's a small thank you – not a hidden feature unlock. The badge itself is cosmetic; the reason it matters is what it says about when you showed up.
If it isn't right, we make it right.
The honest FAQ.
You pay once and get Premium for as long as the product exists – no monthly or annual renewal. If we're still around in 10 years, you're still Premium. If we're still around in 20 years, still Premium.
The honest caveat: if Makro ever shuts down entirely, no one can offer you Premium on a product that doesn't exist. That's why we promise your data is always exportable – you'll never lose your macro library, even in the worst case.
Buy the lifetime tier first to lock in the launch price, then cancel your existing subscription in the Polar billing portal so it doesn't auto-renew. The revocation handler has a safeguard to skip accounts it recognises as lifetime in our own database. In the common case - where your lifetime purchase has been written to your account row before you cancel the old subscription - routine cancellation of the subscription does not affect your lifetime status.
The safeguard is best-effort, not absolute. Known edge cases: webhooks arriving out of order so the revocation fires before the lifetime write lands, or the old subscription and the new lifetime purchase being on different Polar customer records so our database lookup doesn't match. If anything looks off with your Premium status after you cancel, email support@makroexpander.com from the address on file and we'll restore it manually.
There's no automatic migration and no published cross-billing proration program. If cancelling mid-cycle would leave meaningful unused time, email support after buying - we can't promise a prorated credit in advance, but we'll look at the specifics and let you know honestly whether we can do anything. Your macros, sync, and device authorizations aren't affected by any of this; they live on your device and sync independently of the billing state.
The lifetime tier is available during the launch window while we're building toward 1.0. We'll announce the close date ahead of time; once it's closed, only monthly ($5.99) and annual ($59.90) Premium subscriptions remain. We may or may not run another lifetime offer at a higher price down the road – but this launch-window price will not come back.
Yes – no interrogation, no "are you sure?" email loops. Send a note to support@makroexpander.com within 14 days of purchase and we'll issue a refund for the full $149 back to your original payment method. Processing time on the return itself depends on your bank and Polar's clearance window, but the refund is initiated the same day we receive your request.
Your macros stay on your device (they were never on our servers in plaintext anyway). You just lose Premium features and drop back to Free.
You pay nothing more. That is the fundamental value of a lifetime offer – you've locked in the price at today's rate. If we raise monthly Premium later, you still keep everything at $149 paid once.
If you're not sure you'll be using Makro in 3 years, the annual plan ($59.90/yr) is the safer bet. If you're sure, this is the best price you'll ever see on it.
You get them automatically. "Lifetime Premium" is lifetime whatever Premium is at any given moment – so if we ship a new power feature tomorrow, it's in your plan the day it lands.
The only way your tier could change is if we launched a separate higher-priced plan above Premium (like "Enterprise"). That's not on our roadmap, but we won't hide the possibility.
It's cosmetic – and we think that's the honest answer. It doesn't unlock hidden features. It's a label on your license tier inside the extension popup, visible to you and (optionally) to people you share macro pack exports with. It says you were here early. That's the whole point.
