Lifetime Membership

I find Anki expensive. It cost time to learn…

How sweet was it? I only heard of either 200/250$ sale prices for WaniKani lifetime

It was a long time ago through email, so I may be off on the details, but I believe it was US $100. I wasn’t thinking to go lifetime, but the price shocked me a bit and so I grabbed it. I’m a big fan of Anki, so I’ve just recently actually started using WK to supplement Anki and BunPro (which are both already sweet prices IMHO.)

I’m always trying to think of way to support Anki more, as I think this tool is like a Swiss Army knife that can be tweaked to fit different learning styles, and the founder is very generous with his monetization model.

Took the jump. Lifetime activated.

Thanks! It’s good to be here - I think this is what I need to reestablish my Japanese study, among other things.

If you take a look at the prices that language schools are charging for teaching Japanese, then this is very affordable.
I probably don’t need lifetime since I already finished N3 in 6 months. But buying it is also a way of supporting the developers.

well… what if they will start doing stupid things? I can stop giving them my 3$ and they will starve to death, what about you? xD

I prefer to have control over them

ありがとう開発者様😊

Lifetime is definitely the way to go.

Does anyone know whether there will be an announcement before the price goes up? Once my trial is over I’ll probably go month-to-month until I’m sure I’ll use it, then bump up to annual/lifetime, but I’d be inclined to buy lifetime sooner if I’m about to miss the discounted price.

I thiiink I vaguely remember them saying that they’d announce a price change beforehand.
Let me see if I can find the post…
Yup, here it is:

Yearly sub 40% discount ending?

@SteveB Thank you for your question and for your interest in subscribing! The 40% discount on Monthly and Yearly subscriptions will not change when the sale ends on January 7th, 2021. If/When we feel that Bunpro is in a place where we can confidently reduce the discount and increase the price incrementally, we will give everyone sufficient heads up before we make that change. If you chose to subscribe now, you will not be charged and your official subscription will not start until the end of y…

Thank you!

For those that have already supported us, any amount that you have donated will be available as a credit toward your subscription and will be deducted from whichever plan you choose should you choose to subscribe.

Does it still work? Can I expect that if I buy a yearly subscription for $50 then I will be able to extend it to a lifetime subscription for an additional $100 instead of $150?

[Daru]

Hey there!

Whenever you upgrade your subscription, we will prorate any leftover subscription time as a discount for your Lifetime purchase.

So if you bought a year of service and then immediately bought Lifetime, you’d have almost $50 worth of credit.

If half a year has passed, and you decide to make the purchase then, you’ll get somewhere around $25 worth of credit towards your lifetime subscription.

Hope this helps!
