// FAQ
Are lifetime licenses worth it?
At Gunbot's promo pricing (from ~$50-200) the break-even vs a $30/mo subscription is months. The real question is vendor longevity: a lifetime license is only as good as the company maintaining it.
Do lifetime licenses include updates?
Gunbot: yes, free updates for all licenses. HaasOnline's self-hosted TradeServer runs $150/mo instead - lifetime is rare in this space precisely because maintenance is ongoing.
