I purchased a Business Lifetime plan from Adilo in 2021, fully paid upfront (€354.55), clearly advertised and invoiced as lifetime — no renewal, no subscription, no recurring fees.
In February 2026, Adilo unilaterally suspended my account unless I agreed to migrate to a paid subscription.
Their justification is that the lifetime model is now “unsustainable” due to infrastructure costs. While that may be a business challenge, it is not a valid excuse to retroactively break a paid agreement.
What makes this worse is how it was handled:
No meaningful alternatives.
No proportional compensation.
No acknowledgment of ethical responsibility.
Just repeated copy-paste references to Terms of Service claiming absolute discretion.
The platform still displays my plan as “Business Lifetime – €354.55 / lifetime”, yet the service is suspended. That contradiction says everything.
This is not about technology or costs.
It’s about trust.
Early customers who supported the platform with upfront payments were simply discarded once they became inconvenient. A “lifetime” that only lasts until the business model changes is not a lifetime — it’s misleading at best.
I chose not to pursue legal action because the amount is not worth the time and stress. But future customers deserve to know how Adilo treats users when commitments become inconvenient.
