Eyeing Migaku Lifetime and wondering whether Black Friday will bring the price down? It probably matters more for Migaku than for most apps, because its biggest discounts have gone to Lifetime, and the gap between the full price and the sale price has been several hundred dollars.
This guide covers whether the 2026 sale is out yet, what Migaku offered in 2024 and 2025, how its other sales compare, and when Lifetime is worth buying.
Is there a Migaku Black Friday sale in 2026?
Not yet. On November 11, 2026, Migaku's pricing page showed its regular prices: Standard at $10 a month or $8 a month billed yearly ($96 a year), Early Access at $15 a month, and Lifetime at $499 once. Every plan comes with a 10-day money-back guarantee.
Migaku's last sale ended recently. On October 30, 2026, it announced a Halloween sale: Lifetime for $240 instead of $499, until November 2. Black Friday 2026 is November 27. In 2025, learners on Reddit were already quoting the sale prices on November 25, three days before Black Friday.
What were Migaku's past Black Friday deals?
Both recent Black Friday sales put the big discount on Lifetime.
| Year | Deal | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Lifetime at half price: $200 instead of $400 | Website, as reported by learners on Reddit |
| 2025 | 70% off; Lifetime about $150 instead of $499 | Website, promoted on Migaku's Facebook page |
Migaku's own post only gave the headline "70% off." The $150 Lifetime price comes from learners in the WaniKani community and on Reddit. One of them said the pricing page showed only the Black Friday prices while the sale ran. Reports on the yearly plan differed: one learner saw 20% off, which matches Migaku's everyday yearly discount, and another listed $60 a year.
Lifetime also got more expensive between those sales. Learners in the WaniKani community wrote in January 2025 that Migaku planned to raise Lifetime from $400 to about $500 at the end of February 2025, and it costs $499 today.
How do you get the Migaku deal?
Go to migaku.com/pricing during the sale. In 2025 the sale prices replaced the regular ones on that page, so you didn't need a code. The page also has a "Have a voucher?" box if Migaku sends you one. Lifetime is a single payment that includes the Early Access features and future updates, according to the pricing page.
Is the Migaku Black Friday deal worth it?
Yes, if you already use Migaku and plan to keep going. At $150, Lifetime cost less than 19 months of the Standard plan billed yearly. At the full $499, it takes more than 5 years to pay off, and even the $240 Halloween price takes 2.5 years. Given how often Migaku runs Lifetime sales, there's little reason to pay full price.
Migaku suits learners who watch shows and YouTube or read articles in their target language and want to turn the words they look up into flashcards. It supports 11 languages, including Japanese, Chinese and Korean. If you're new to it, a month of Standard at $10 with the 10-day money-back guarantee is a cheap way to find out before a sale.
