The real reason is the development cost stay the same, but the pool of potential buyers is 100x less for Sync for Lemmy compared to Sync for Reddit. With only about 100,000 monthly active users on Lemmy, even if 1% of them bought the app at $20, the dev would only net about $14,000 (after 30% play store fee). The dev himself even said he'll lower the price as the number of active Lemmy users grow.

I think a lot of the outrage is the people that used to use the app on Reddit but have been priced out by this strategy. It's very disappointing and, if my time on Reddit has tought me anything, people are very quick to vent the frustrations by posting.

The healthy thing is to just find an option in the right price bracket, that's how I found Voyager.
