That's realllly steep for a single app.

Yeah, nah. That's too pricey to remove ads for a single app.

$33.99 AUD. I guess I'll just wait for Boost.

That's so aggressive just to remove ads. I get it that devs need to eat but holy shit man.

Sync was Reddit for me and I didn't even bat an eye about buying pro at the time (around 3€ I think).

Paying 23€ for ad removal is just being greedy right now, I really want to support the dev but this is just too much.

The whole pricing debate is so exhausting. Anybody who feels $20 is too steep for an app they might use for the next decade is welcome to their opinion, but they'll never have the same perspective as those of us who enjoyed a decade of improvements to Sync for Reddit. LJ is a class act, Sync is leagues ahead of all other 3PAs, and I'm happy to pay my share.

There are so many FOSS & alternative options. LJ is dedicating his full attention to a niche platform and has set up a subscription model that allows this project to remain sustainable for him & his team (yes, team). Feel free to go with any other option, but let's not pretend that Sync is the antichrist for being the first Lemmy 3PA developer that is prioritizing sustainability after a decade of supporting users who paid $2

it was 12.99 for a hot second if you grabbed it when it first went live. I was thinking about it, but then saw it went to 19.99 just recently. Imma gonna wait.

It's like 1/2 of the monthly entry level income in my 3rd world country.

₹9900 for lifetime ultra, this is expensive. Entry level smartphones that the majority of Indians use costs much less than that.

Just got the update and... Yeah, it's almost $100 on my currency. I'm not sure if I ever saw an app this expensive before, not that I buy a lot of apps, but still. Love the app and lj has always been awesome, but will have to pass :(

way too expensive.
also no regional pricing?
I would never pay more then 8-10$ for a full game, let alone 20$ for lack of random black rectangles in a free app.

TWENTY DOLLARS ???? bro $20 for an ad-free version of an app is nuts

I paid to remove the ads. I want to support the developer and this is the best Reddit app I used as well.

Having said that, this is a really steep price tbh and will be a hard sell for my friends. I am loyal to Sync and still see value in this price since I use it so much. But it really is steep.

2000₹ for removing ads is too much. With that money one can buy a raspberry pi and set up pihole to block ads on their whole network.

This might be dumb but uhhh what ads? I've been using the app since launch and haven't seen a single one.

Turns out the 2.99 for life doesn't quite keep the lights on anymore.

Maybe we just need to go back to paying for every major version. that way people can have what they want.

I don't exactly understand why the 20$ translate to 22€, when the euro is stronger than the dollar 🤔

Paid. Haven't actually seen any ads. The only complaint that I have, is that u/spez doesn't get a notification, with a comment on the value of building brand loyalty through respect and support of your user base.

Can anyone confirm, and this may have Already been answered.

Does the remove adds on the left pane, remove them for lifetime at 20$?

Edit: seems like 20$ will be ads removed lifetime but No fancy features.

I've just checked, the lifetime price is showing up as £95.99 to me ($120) that seems a bit steep!

€21.99 in Belgium.

Where are the ads, anyway? I don't think Ive seen a single ad yet.
