Your 2026 AppSumo lifetime deal

How to activate your license, what each tier includes, and what happens when you upgrade or ask AppSumo for a refund. This page covers licenses bought in the 2026 campaign; licenses from the 2024 deal are described on their own page.

Activate your license

  1. On AppSumo, open Account → Products and click Activate next to Kaptr.me.
  2. You arrive on kaptr.me/appsumo. If you are already signed in to Kaptr.me, the license is linked to that account at once.
  3. Otherwise choose Create my account or I already have an account. Once you have signed in (or confirmed your e-mail address), Kaptr.me brings you back to the activation page and links the license.
  4. Install the Kaptr.me Chrome extension to capture pages and keep them refreshed.

One license is linked to one Kaptr.me account. Use the same browser for the whole activation: if you switch device before signing in, simply click Activate again from your AppSumo account.

Your tier is shown in Settings → Subscription. These entitlements are lifetime: they do not turn into a subscription, and later changes to the public plans do not reduce them.

Monthly AI credits

2026 licenses include Kaptr AI credits: each month your account receives the credits of your tier (table above). Credits pay for AI actions such as generating a Kapboard with Kaptr Fast, Vision or Agent, asking questions about a Kapboard, cloud refreshes and AI meeting recaps. Unused monthly credits do not roll over. If you need more in a given month, you can add a credit pack from the Upgrade page; packs never replace your license.

If you already use Kaptr.me

Activating on an existing account keeps all your Kapboards and snapshots. If that account has a running paid subscription, the subscription stays in place; your AppSumo tier takes over automatically when you cancel the subscription from Manage billing. Contact us if you want help choosing.

Upgrade to a higher tier

Upgrade through AppSumo: AppSumo then sends the new tier to Kaptr.me and your account changes automatically. Each Kaptr.me account holds one AppSumo license at a time; to move to a higher tier, upgrade the license on AppSumo rather than activating a second code on the same account.

Refunds

Refunds are handled by AppSumo under its refund policy (60 days after purchase). When AppSumo refunds a license, its tier ends on Kaptr.me: your account returns to the plan it had before (or Free). Your Kapboards and snapshots are not deleted; those above the Free limits stay locked until you choose a plan.

If something looks wrong

If the activation page shows an error, or your account does not show the tier you bought, email contact@kaptr.me from the address you use on Kaptr.me and include your AppSumo license key or order number.
