Sync Ultra is a very reasonable $17 a YEAR. YouTube Premium is reaching that per MONTH. I have sync downloaded and it was the first thing I did. Thanks lj for the beautiful app.

[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.

There are many counterpoints and actually good discussion happening down below. Even if you don't agree, thanks for showing me a different perspective!

If you want to support Sync, make sure to support the Lemmy Devs and your instance holders as well!

I hate it when people see a $100+ price-tag for a lifetime subscription and complain. A OTP is literally a user that cannot be charged again, and if lemmy keeps growing, it will provide value for many years.

I used sync pro for almost 10 years and paid something like $5 for it, such pricing is unsustainable for the developer and I totally understand the subscription model

Dude has the best app for lemmy and provides a good boost to the ecosystem which benefits all. Development time costs (a lot) of money and the dev has every right to charge what he wants.

I'm pro supporting devs (I'm also one myself), but I'm even more anti-subscription for software. I'd 100% buy a lifetime subscription for $20, however, $100 for a mobile app is insane in my opinion. The developer can set their prices how they please though, and I'll continue using the ad supported version until the price comes down.

That's fair, I believe there is an add free otp for $20 now I believe. It is not the ultra variant or whatever
