Is Ultraforge dead?

....and if we paid for a lifetime subscription when do we get a refund?

Most likely! The race for the best AI is raging in every field, especially for video and music, dozens of new ‘better than anyone else’ AIs are being created every month, Photoshop and the like are mostly dead.

It is impossible to compete for a small player, FF and UF are niche but solid products for those who have time or want total control over their creation. The new Animator application is a welcome step.

There is no 'lifetime' subscription for UF.

With a perpetual license, you pay a one-time, upfront fee to own a copy of the software indefinitely. In our specific case, you get a personal key to unlock the demo version of UF v1.x, and the procedure will still work 20 years from now, even if the company or the Internet no longer exists.

A software subscription is a payment model that requires the user to pay a recurring fee to use the software over a specific period of time.

They offer a lifetime update, but only for FF and only until the software is developed. I have this model and accept that nothing is forever, maybe FF14 will be one of the last versions, who knows.

Answering my own question, it's 30 days.

Given how expensive it is, even at its current discounted price, and the apparent lack of development, wouldn't it be better to offer it at a much lower price?

Seems like Comfy UI (https://www.comfy.org/) or any number of other OSS interfaces for diffusion models would be better at this point. I hoped for more from this project, but I think the lack of response is our answer.
