Carousel maker lifetime deal: pay once, no subscription

One payment gets you everything in the studio, with no limits on exports.

• Unlimited exports.
• Up to 20 slides, in every aspect ratio: 4:5, 1:1, 9:16 and 16:9.
• The full design panel: colours, gradients, fonts, spacing and layers.
• 8 presets, plus your own defaults, so every new post opens in your look.
• Night (dark) mode.
• Google fonts by name, or your own font file.
• Your work saved as you go, on every browser you sign in on.
• Send posts to your email.
• No renewal, nothing to cancel.

You can make tweet-style carousels and quotes over a photo, then post the PNGs (1170px wide) to Instagram, LinkedIn, X and Threads.

What it doesn't do: export PDF, import from X or any link, or write your posts for you. You write the words; LightFit makes them look right.

Lifetime means one payment for as long as LightFit Studios runs the service; nothing renews.

• In the terms: "'Lifetime' means for as long as we operate the service" (terms of service).
• If the service shuts down: the terms say that within twelve months of your purchase you get a full refund, and after that you get at least 30 days' notice to export your work.
• Refund: ask within 14 days of payment and you get it back in full, no reason needed (refunds policy).
• Who charges you: payments go through Dodo Payments, the Merchant of Record. It shows on your statement as "DODO PAYMENTS". You're charged in US dollars, and your bank converts at its own rate.
• Tax: the price excludes any sales tax or VAT, which is calculated at checkout.

The sum is $100 once vs a monthly price × the months you'll use it.

Some carousel makers' entry plans, read on their own pricing pages as of 17 Oct 2026:

• Contentdrips Starter: $15/mo (contentdrips.com/pricing)
• PostNitro Starter: $15/mo (postnitro.ai/pricing)
• carouselmaker.com: $14.99/mo (carouselmaker.com/pricing)
• Caruva Starter: €9/mo (caruva.app/pricing)

At $15 a month, $100 is about 7 months of a subscription. That's plain arithmetic, not a promise of savings. Do the sum with the tool you use now.

To be fair: many subscriptions include AI writing, scheduling or PDF export. LightFit doesn't. If you need those, a subscription may suit you better.

Lifetime access is $100, paid once, and turns on right after payment.

• You sign in, so your work follows you to every browser you use.
• Nothing renews. There's no subscription to manage.
• Changed your mind? A full refund within 14 days (refunds policy).
• Already on a monthly or yearly Pro subscription? Write to email@lightfitstudios.com and you'll be moved to lifetime without being charged twice.

A few other tools sell a one-time price. These are the prices on each tool's own page, as of 17 Oct 2026.

Several of these include PDF export, link import or AI writing, which LightFit doesn't. LightFit is for people who write their own words and want unlimited exports for one price.

No image model is involved and there's no AI in the file: LightFit draws slides in your browser from your words and photos. Optional AI help, an in-app copilot and an AI apps option, is there if you want it. Platforms decide on labels themselves; read why your carousel got an "AI info" label.
