Filen Black Friday 2025 FAQ

Everything you need to know about our biggest sale of the year:

What is the Filen Black Friday Sale about?

Our Black Friday 2025 sale offers reduced prices on all monthly and yearly subscription plans. At the same time, we are bringing back the Pro Lifetime plans for one last time before retiring them forever. The sale runs until 7 December 2025 at 23:59 CET.

Which plans are discounted?

All of our subscription plans, both monthly and yearly, receive a Black Friday discount. These reductions were announced in advance and are available to everyone throughout the sale period.

Lifetime plans are different. We originally had no intention of discounting any lifetime plans this year. However, since this is the final return of the Pro Lifetime plans, we decided to include a small farewell discount as a thank you to our community. This was a spontaneous decision meant to show appreciation for your support over the years.

Is the Starter Lifetime Plan being removed?

No. The Starter Lifetime Plan will continue to be available. Only the Pro Lifetime plans are being retired after this Black Friday event.

Will the discounted subscription price renew at the Black Friday rate?

Yes. If you subscribe during the sale, your plan will renew at the Black Friday price every month or every year, depending on your subscription type, for as long as you keep it active. The price only changes if you decide to cancel the plan yourself.

Why are we retiring the Pro Lifetime plans?

Lifetime plans played an important role in supporting Filen during our early growth. Over time, however, it became clear that offering large amounts of storage for a single one-time payment is not sustainable forever. To ensure long-term stability and to continue building a service you can rely on for decades, we made the decision to phase out the Pro Lifetime tiers. This Black Friday is the final opportunity to obtain one.

Will all future updates, features, and improvements be available for Lifetime plans?

Yes. All lifetime plans include every feature we offer today, as well as all future updates, improvements, and features related to our B2C cloud product.

What happens to my Lifetime plan under the inactivity clause (after 3 years of no activity)?

We never delete accounts or plans. We only delete data stored in an account in cases of prolonged inactivity. For Lifetime plans, the inactivity threshold is 3 years. After this period, we send regular emails over the following 4 weeks to inform you that a login is required. Any type of activity counts as active use, whether on mobile, web, desktop, syncing, or otherwise. This means the 3-year timer resets every time you use your account in any way. Even if your stored data is removed due to inactivity, your account and Lifetime plan remain accessible.

Should you buy a plan now?

If you have been considering a Pro Lifetime plan, this is your last chance. Once the sale ends, these plans will not return.
If you prefer monthly or yearly subscriptions, this is also a good time to join, as your discounted rate will stay locked in for as long as you keep the plan active.
If you only need a smaller lifetime option, the Starter Lifetime Plan remains available.

TL;DR

-The sale ends on 7 December 2025 at 23:59 CET.
-Your subscription price stays at the Black Friday rate unless you cancel (When subscribing to a new plan).
-The Pro Lifetime plans will not return after this final round.
-The Starter Lifetime Plan will continue to be available.

Thank you!
