In the lemmy community someone said that a one-time Pro version is coming later, once the app leaves beta
There already ist, it's 109€ for me.
No that's the lifetime subscription. If you only want ads-free it's about 15euros.
20€ now
Yo I just checked this.
A hundred fucking dollars?
Jesus christ, lemmy is still in a fledgling state compared to reddit i don't care if you designed the most perfect app known to man, this is some insane overvaluation.
That's for the lifetime Ultra subscription which are a set of extra features. The base features are free.
The base features include injecting ads into the site. So you at minimum have to pay for the app to not make your experience shitty.
And what defines an extra feature?
A hundred bucks for a reader app is a fucking lot.
$20 usd to remove ads
Thank you. This update went live after my comment.
The app does not have this under settings. I jumped straight into settings expecting of course that is where it must live, and the Ultra subscription does (and also mentions ads)
However as you said, there is a no ads unlock on the initial drop down for $20.
I'm gonna send that as feedback.
That's ultra, it's not similar to what Pro was. Sync Pro was like 4 EUR. It removed the ads. Option to remove ads now is 22 EUR. A huge price increase. Ultra was 36 or so, now 100+. Again a huge price increase.
