I went on an online shopping spree the last couple of days and purchased lifetime licenses to a number of great WordPress plugins and webapps.
In this article, I am going to share what I believe are some of the most useful and best deals at the moment.
These will last only a couple of days. So I suggest you grab them while you can.
I have purchased all the following either in the past or in the last two days. So feel free to ask any questions you may have on their usage.

Genesis
My guess is most readers of my site already own a copy of Genesis. But if you don’t, you can either grab Genesis for $47.96 or Pro Plus membership for $399.96 that includes the entire suite incl. all the child themes.
If you don’t mind tinkering with a bit of code to customize your WordPress site, Genesis is the theme to get.
SEOPress Pro
This got to be the deal of this year!
It is a light-weight replacement for Yoast Pro (which, btw will nickel and dime you to death) and is only $99 one-time payment for lifetime updates and support.
I am replacing Yoast on all my sites with this.
Cogsworth or Vyte
Both these tools let people schedule meetings with you.
Cogsworth Big plan can be purchased for a one-time payment of $23.40 after using the BFSAVE40 coupon.
Vyte Pro version can be purchased for a one-time payment of $39.
or
ACF Pro
If you build custom websites for your clients, it is quite common to add custom fields to posts and other post types.
ACF Pro’s UI is smooth as silk and its lifetime license of around 70 AUD is a must-have in my opinion.

Meta Box
Meta Box is a dev-friendly alternative to ACF Pro. I have purchased it but did not get a chance to use it yet.
Here is a comparison between ACF and Meta Box by another user.
Get it for $169 using BLACKFRIDAY coupon code.

Smart Slider 3 Pro
My go-to slider for years has been Soliloquy.
But recently Smart Slider 3 has been gaining popularity and I’ve seen a number of users recommending it in the various Facebook groups I hang around in.
It has more features than Soliloquy and has a page builder like interface to add various elements on your slides.
Get it for a one-time payment of $150 with lifetime unlimited usage.

I use MemberPress on this site for the membership aspect but going forward, I may use RCP for new sites since it offers the same functionality for a one-time payment.
