Sync Ultra OTP is available for 109,99 €

With that price I feel like the dev has 0 faith in lemmy getting very big and feels like they need to capitalize on the currently few users to make back costs. I mean, not even an early access price considering its in beta still

God damn that’s expensive.

Lol. I uh. Guess I didn't want a one time payment option after all.

I know I'm cheap and I know this app is great and is a lot of work but fuck, this is expensive. Subscriptions are the worst model capitalism can offer. And the one time payment price is ridiculous, I can't afford that.

$50 wouldn't have nearly as much of a negative reaction. $100 is awfully steep for a community as small as Lemmy.

But I'm glad the yearly sub is only $17, so I may get that instead.

at that price you could afford the reddit api.. not that i'd want to

I think the ultra price for reddit was like 30 dollars for lifetime. 100+ bucks just seems like way to much.

wow isn't that like 6 years of subscription? so expensive

My last app, Now for Reddit, charged $4 to unlock all the features of the app, including no ads.

Just use FOSS apps for Lemmy. There are plenty good ones. Thanks to all devs and contributors!

Nope

That's wild. Like man I'm impressed with Sync and think it's great but you'd have to be using it for 7 years for this to be worth it...Lemmy is so new you'd be mad to be making a gamble like this.

Lifetime wasn't available when I subscribed. :(

I assume that's $100 USD in America?

It's expensive, but Sync is literally the best app on my phone, and has been that way for a long time. I'd consider it.

I pass

Even Apollo Ultra was $50, and people thought that was expensive…

₹9900!!!

I bought 2 smartphones for my friends last month. Combined total cost of those was roughly ₹10200.

Just run your phone through a free private DNS server and never see an ad again. I use dns.adguard.com.

None of my free apps show any ads on my phone.

Or use one of the myriad of other ad-free apps?

I don't get the fanboi-ism, it didn't blow my socks off when I was on Reddit either. I used Slide and RIF.

then just pay the onetime $20 to remove ads instead

Yikes

Honestly that’s fair. There’s way less of a subscriber base here, development time is expensive, and you need to foresee circumstances for the future (look how many people Apollo dev had to refund). Sync is also such a great app, I’m personally just using the ad version at the moment on my android phone (and this is from Memmy on iOS). Sync is still one of the best apps I’ve ever used and keep an android phone just for it.

Why would anyone pay for this while there are better alternatives?

This Dev is so greedy that even if he adjusts his prices down to earth, I'll probably just skip it and wait for one of the other 3rd party Reddit app devs to come out with their lemmy versions.

What a turn off.

I feel like the dev is trying to cash out, his apps good but reddit screwed him so I do kinda understand but he's priced me out.

Why would someone pay monthly for a social media app... That's more fucked than spez.

Yea no.

Yikes, that's really steep and puts a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, tbh. :(

It's a bit steep for my finances.

Yeah I'll just take the non intrusive ads on my feed.

It feels expensive, but I'm considering the annual. If I compare it to Netflix or Spotify. I spent way more time on this app

I ues connect it looks almost the same and feels better and it is free

I don't think it can display upvote and downvote counts separately. For me I consider that useful information. Also, my comments written while using it don't show in my profile, so it seems a little glitchy still. And it can't create posts yet. I'll stick with the kbin PWA for now.

Is the restore previous purchases function working for anyone? Which purchases will be honored? I was a sync Pro user

Honestly I'd pay 60usd (price of a new video game). I'd probably end up getting the ad free version for 22usd though I'm still evaluating the app and seeing whether my favorite app Boost makes progress.

I think a good reader like sync, boost etc. Is still a good value if you spend a lot of time using it.

Anyone remember what the Ultra sub options were on the old version?

I bought the reddit lifetime this year. Lemmy is no where near as interesting or engaging as reddit so far. I guess I'll just stick with the ad free version.

I'm definitely interested in the yearly option.

So just consider buying the ad free version for 20 bucks then?
