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'm not comfortable with a subscription model, sorry. I will happily pay for a one-time fee. For the use I do of Lemmy I'll pay up to €5. If they want to release a new version of the app in, say, 2-3 years down the line and ask for a new fee, I'm fine too.

I'll wait until Boost releases (it was my default Reddit app) and will choose between Sync, Boost, Summit, and Infinity paid versions.

It already has a one-time payment option. Try update and look in the settings.

Well, that was fast :)

Anyway, it is €115. That's way out of my league. I will wait for Boost and see.

Oh you're talking about sync ultra? Yeah that's expensive af but just to remove ads is cheap. Your also paying for the ability to be a power user. It's not meant for the majority of people, people asked for more features back on reddit, so lj made ultra. It's that and to support the dev.

I fail to see the remove ads option. On settings I can only find the Sync Ultra section with monthly, yearly and lifetime subscription. I’m on beta 26, maybe is there a newer version?
