Storing data usage, personal ads, 21.99€ just to remove ads or a subscription model.

I'm a dev myself and I get that everyone needs to be compensated, but right now I have only one thought:

"You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain."

$170 AUD for a lifetime "ultra" license.

Absolute farce of a price

[–] Raab 1 points 1 year ago

Where are you even seeing a lifetime option?

[–] Jardthebard 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Been a long time supporter of sync. Honestly a bit sad to see there's nothing for those that had pro/ultra before :/

Yeah, just seeing that it will collect data about me for personalized ads was a turnoff. There are plenty of Lemmy clients without ads. I can't imagine seeing ads while using Lemmy, either.

so that's why everyone hates reddit?

Sync Ultra and Adfree are two different things altogether.

Ultra comes with adfree as a perk among with a ton of other stuff, but if all you care for is adfree, that's $9.99 lifetime.

Ad free in the app is $22 for me. Does it vary by region? Or is it dynamic pricing? (US)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm seeing $30.50 to remove ads. Way higher than I paid for sync for reddit :/

[–] armrods 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the only source of income for the developer

[–] unscholarly_source 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm not advocating for anyone to buy a price they're not comfortable with, but personally I reasoned that, having used Sync for nearly 10 years, it would be like paying 10 bucks for each of those years for an app that I have used the most out of all the apps in my life

Sync was a huge part of my life (will continue to be), and I am happy to compensate for that.
