What each licence tier included
All four tiers shipped every feature. They differed only on volume and seats, which is the usual shape of a prompt-tool lifetime deal, because the real constraint is model spend rather than functionality.
| Limit | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 | Tier 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prompts per month | 200 | 1,000 | 5,000 | 15,000 |
| Users | 1 | 4 | 10 | 20 |
| Teams | 1 | 2 | 3 | 10 |
| Context memory | 3 snippets | Unlimited | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Tier 3 was AppSumo's recommended tier. Every tier included the Chrome extension, one-click improve, refine prompt, prompt history, prompt library, folders and tags, a repositionable button, automatic improvements for medium-length prompts, image to prompt, a prompt playground, and MCP support.
What Pretty Prompt actually did
1. Improve a prompt in one click
- Added an Improve button directly inside the chatbot textbox, so you never left ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude
- Removed ambiguity and missing context to produce a clearer, more focused prompt
- Rewrote wording and formatting to suit the specific model you were talking to
2. Refine a prompt through questions
- Asked follow-up questions to pull context out of you rather than guessing at it
- Broke a prompt into logical components: role assignment, objective, constraints, interactions
- Let you layer additional instructions onto an already-improved prompt
3. Save and organise prompts
- A single prompt library, saved with one click
- Folders and tags, plus search across everything saved
- Copy and share prompts with a team, with team seats on the higher tiers
4. Prompt history and comparison
- Searchable history of previous prompts
- Side-by-side comparison of an improved prompt against its original version
- Later additions included image to prompt, a prompt playground, and MCP support
Can you still buy Pretty Prompt?
Not on AppSumo. As of 31 July 2026 the listing is marked Sold out and shows a "Notify me when it returns" email form where the buy button used to be. Lifetime deals on AppSumo do sometimes return, but there is no published schedule and no way to reserve a licence.
The product itself is still operating at pretty-prompt.com on its own subscription pricing. What disappeared is the lifetime economics, not the software.
If you bought a tier while it was live you keep your licence under the deal terms. What you do not get is the source code, any influence over the roadmap, or protection if the vendor changes direction. That is the structural problem with every lifetime deal, and it is the reason this index exists.
What it takes to build your own
Pretty Prompt is a good example of a product that is cheaper to build than to buy, because the hard part was never the engineering. It is one content script per chatbot host, one model call per improvement, and local storage for the library. What you are really paying a vendor for is the monthly prompt cap.
Build a Chrome extension that adds an improve-prompt button inside ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude: it rewrites my draft prompt for clarity and structure before sending, with a saved prompt library.
What the build needs under the hood
This specification comes from building Chrome extensions of the same shape, a content script plus a model call, rather than from rebuilding this particular product. Treat it as a starting point you will refine.
| Manifest | Manifest V3 |
|---|---|
| Permissions | storage for the prompt library, activeTab for the injected button, scripting to inject on navigation |
| Host permissions | chatgpt.com, gemini.google.com, claude.ai |
| Content script | Finds the composer element on each host and mounts the Improve button beside it. Each site uses a different editor, so this is the part that needs testing per host. |
| Service worker | Receives the draft text, calls your own OpenAI or Gemini key, returns the rewritten prompt |
| Storage | chrome.storage.sync so the library follows your Chrome profile across machines |
| The tricky part | Writing text back into ChatGPT and Claude. Both use rich-text editors, so setting textContent silently fails and the send button stays disabled. You need document.execCommand('insertText') or an equivalent so the framework registers the change. |
| Running cost | One model call per improvement, billed to your own key. No monthly prompt ceiling. |
Buying the deal versus building it
| Pretty Prompt LTD | Your own build | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $39 to $799 one time | Build time, plus your own model usage |
| Availability | Sold out | Available now |
| Prompt limit | 200 to 15,000 a month by tier | None beyond your API spend |
| Source code | Not included | Yours, downloadable |
| If the vendor stops | Licence ends with the product | Keeps working, you hold the code |
| Custom changes | Feature request, then wait | Describe the change, rebuild |
| Polish on day one | Mature, 195 reviews of feedback behind it | Rougher until you iterate |
| Support | Vendor, reportedly responsive | You |
The honest trade: a product with 195 reviews behind it is more polished than anything you generate this afternoon. What you gain by building is that nobody can sell it, sunset it, or rate-limit it out from under you.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pretty Prompt still available on AppSumo?
No. The lifetime deal is marked Sold out as of 31 July 2026, and AppSumo shows a notify-me form instead of a buy button. The product still operates at pretty-prompt.com on its own pricing.
How much did the Pretty Prompt lifetime deal cost?
Four licence tiers, roughly $39 to $799 one time. Tier 1 gave 200 prompts a month for 1 user, Tier 2 gave 1,000 for 4 users, Tier 3 gave 5,000 for 10 users, and Tier 4 gave 15,000 for 20 users.
What is a good Pretty Prompt alternative?
The core is a content script plus one LLM call, which makes it a practical extension to build rather than buy. You need three Chrome permissions, one content script per chatbot host, and chrome.storage for the library. PlugThis generates that from a plain English description and you keep the code.
How was Pretty Prompt rated by buyers?
4.8 out of 5 across 195 reviews on AppSumo, recorded 31 July 2026. Reviewers most often praised developer response times and the one-click flow, and most often asked for more customisation.
Who built Pretty Prompt?
Co-founders Ilai Szpiezak and Charlie Day. It integrates with Chrome, OpenAI and Google Gemini.
What happens to a lifetime deal after it sells out?
Existing buyers keep their licence, but nobody new can buy at any price, and buyers hold no code and no leverage over the roadmap. If the vendor changes direction the licence ends with it. Building an equivalent avoids that dependency because the source sits in your own repository.
