Isn't it a yearly subscription?

[–] Skanky 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The $20 one-time fee is to remove ads from the "standard" app.

The subscription pricing is for Sync Ultra, which has Cloud backup for settings and some more advanced features in addition to no ads.

Seems like Sync Ultra is a lot more ‘niche’ than Apollo Ultra.

What does Apollo Ulta offer above it's standard version?

[–] Dark_Blade -1 points 1 year ago

Push notifications, icons, more themes, tons of powerful sort and save functions that weren’t on Reddit, Pixel Pals…probably more, but the last time I had Apollo Pro was many, many years ago.

There's a one time $20 fee to remove ads. There's also a thing for increased functionality that's separate and includes removing ads using a monthly or an annual subscription option, and there's also a lifetime option. I opted for the lifetime one at $100 because I figure I'll be using it for a few years, I'm happy to support the dev, and I really want all the bells and whistles.

For whatever reason I can't find the 20 option to remove ads. Any chance you can point me to it?

Edit: nvm, just had to update the app.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

At this point there are multiple updates per day during the beta period. I expect that will settle down once things stabilize, but for now it's definitely prudent to keep checking for updates.

There's a one time payment for ad free. The subscription is for ultra which is ad free plus a bunch of power user type shit that I don't personally have a use for.
