| Ninja Outreach | Retired | There is no free tier: ninjaoutreach.com no longer serves the product. Checked 2026-09-06, the domain resolves to Cloudflare and returned 522 on three consecutive requests, so the origin is unreachable; the Internet Archive's most recent capture of the site is 2025-09-10. The cited source, userlike.com/en/blog/startup-deals, now redirects to connect.lime-technologies.com/en/blog/ after Userlike's rebrand to Lime Technologies, and the destination does not name Ninja Outreach. The former offer was a 20% lifetime discount on the Blogger plan, which was a discount and not a free tier. | 2026-10-18 / 2026-08-14 |
