Wait, you have to pay for Sync?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (5 children)

No. But you have to pay for ad-free. The ultra subscription service is more expensive than it was under reddit Sync. I'm hoping the prices will go down as the app gets more popular. I'm guessing the dev is trying to make up for the lost revenue from shutting down the reddit app.

I downloaded Sync two days ago and I still haven't seen an ad. I'm not sure where they are.

There is a one time payment of about $20 (price may vary per region) that will stop ads and trackers will be turned off.

Ah, OK. I'm perfectly happy with Connect. Was just curious.

Yes I owned sync pro but bought it so long ago I didn't remember paying so much, thanks for confirming it's really more expensive under lemmy.

@s1ndr0m3 @Ryan213 And displaying no faith in it being a successful business model at a reasonable price.

I use sync and love it. I used sync for reddit and paid the pro and the ultra subscription. I don't have a problem with the app. I was just clarifying what the payment options were for. I don't know how expensive it is to run an app or the server for the ultra features.
