Sites like StackSocial, measured side by side

Most "sites like StackSocial" lists are a row of logos with no way to tell which one actually has anything worth buying today. This one is generated from our own crawl: catalog size is what we counted live at the last cycle, median price is the middle of the prices we recorded, and the refund window is the marketplace's published figure. LemDeals sells nothing on any of these platforms.

Marketplace	Listings live at last crawl	Median price	Refund window	Catalog no longer live
StackSocial (the one you searched)	27	$19.99	15 days	16%
AppSumo	32	$19.00	60 days	27%
Dealify	25	$59.00	30 days	0%
PitchGround	1	$0.00	60 days	0%

Read the table by what you came for. If you want selection, follow the live-listings column. If you want the longest time to change your mind, follow the refund column. If you want prices that hold, look at the churn column — a marketplace whose catalog empties fast is one where the deal you bookmark is often gone before you decide.

Which alternative covers what StackSocial covers?

Marketplaces are not interchangeable by category. These are the categories we actually observe in the StackSocial catalog, and which of the alternatives we observe carrying the same category right now.

Category StackSocial covers	Listings there	Where else we see it
Online Courses	8	no tracked substitute this cycle
Apps & Software	6	no tracked substitute this cycle
Productivity	4	no tracked substitute this cycle
Courses	2	no tracked substitute this cycle
Online Course	2	no tracked substitute this cycle
Electronics & Gadgets	2	no tracked substitute this cycle
Utilities	1	no tracked substitute this cycle
Shopping	1	no tracked substitute this cycle

A blank right-hand column is genuinely useful information: it means the category you are shopping is one StackSocial covers and the substitutes do not this cycle, so switching marketplace would mean switching what you buy.

What is actually on each shelf

Catalog counts hide the thing you care about: whether the software is any use to you. These are named listings from the most recent crawl of each marketplace, so you can judge the substitution on products rather than totals.

StackSocial (Stack Commerce) is a mixed-catalog marketplace: lifetime software deals sit alongside e-learning bundles, VPN subscriptions, and consumer electronics. Its lifetime SaaS catalog is narrower than a specialist marketplace but the aggregate traffic is very high — StackSocial partners with major publisher networks that syndicate its deals. Refunds apply to unredeemed codes inside the window shown in the tables above. Category strengths are utilities, security tools, and creative software. StackSocial runs frequent promo-code discounts on live listings, so the on-site price is often below the tracked listing price by 5–15%. Buyers are not required to create a StackSocial account per purchase; codes can be delivered to guest checkouts.

What none of them protect you from

Every marketplace on this page sells one-time access to software somebody else operates. The refund window protects you from a bad purchase for a few weeks; nothing protects you from a vendor closing down in year three. Across the marketplaces here we have watched 17 of 102 tracked listings stop being purchasable. Judge a lifetime deal by whether the tool is worth the money in the next twelve months, and treat everything after that as upside.

Where to go next

For the evidence behind each name above, the marketplace trust assessments set out crawl days, price stability and churn per marketplace. If you are weighing whether the one-time price beats simply subscribing, the cost-of-ownership pages run that arithmetic per tool, and the StackSocial buying checklist covers refunds, support and what to check before you pay.
