Lyfevest

Discontinued

Last updated 2026-03-15 · Update this page

Historical record. This platform is discontinued and should not be treated as an active option.

Lyfevest originally framed itself as a way for enterprises to financially support the open source contributors behind the software they rely on. The current public website now points to an unrelated product, so this entry is best treated as a discontinued historical attempt at subscription-based OSS support.
