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!

As someone from a third world country, fuck no. That shit is too expensive for me. Maybe to you privileged folk it's reasonable. To me it's nonsense.

I feel shitty about it too since I was a long time sync pro user, I thought sync for lemmy would also have an affordable pro version but fuck me I guess

Since we're doing meaningless comparisons:

Am I doing that right?

From what I've heard, you pay by viewing ads. Those can be blocked at the DNS level, though.

I just downloaded sync and don't see ads. I do run dns66 though so that must be it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Yep, but you still see a big ass block where the ad would be, which isn't the case in any other Lemmy app.

Oh, but Adobe charges the very reasonable $600/yr and Autodesk a bargain $3000+ per year for their software, so clearly Sync must not be that good to only be asking $17 a year. I think I'll look for something more professionally priced, instead.

No. [email protected] !

I would gladly pay once though.

First thing I did after opening the app was to look for the Pro (ultra) in-app purchase. But monhtly payments, no thank you.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Same here. I hate subscriptions but would happily buy a Pro version like I did with Sync for Reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Yea, I would gladly pay to remove ads. Like I already did for the Sync for Reddit. Twice. But no one likes subscriptions.
