Hi,

Blinkist has always been a subscription. You pay for a year, and when the year is up you decide again.

Blinkist Lifetime is the first version that doesn't work that way: one payment, and it stays yours. No renewal date, and no November where you decide all over again.

We're showing it to people who already use Blinkist, before it goes anywhere else.

Take your first look at Blinkist Lifetime.

Holger Seim
Co-founder, Blinkist
