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!

Am I the only one who thinks that sync pro for reddit subscribers should have their one time purchase be honored/restored?

[–] knobbysideup@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

Not with the overhaul required. That said, the asking price is too steep.

The devs time in rewriting and testing a whole new backend for Lemmy isn't free though.

I got Ultra Lifetime when it launched 13 months ago, $35 as I recall. People who didn't go the "supportive" route paid $19 for that year. This rubs me up the wrong way even though I don't care about the money, it's not actual adversity or anything. Just doesn't sit well. Also paid the previous prices when the app launched many years ago

I agree.

Ultra Lifetime is arguable but as I understand it, it's not that easy because Google Play doesn't have a way to transfer subscriptions between apps like that.

Pro I don't think makes sense because it was pretty cheap to begin with. Pro ended up costing me $0.00062/day ($2.50 11 years ago). Kind of makes me feel guilty to be honest.

Don't feel guilty. We were early backers before Ultra was a thing and probably before costs to run Sync were high
