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!

    Yep. As stupid as is sounds, I would pay even higher for a one off purchase.

    You can pay once to remove ads. There's a subscription called ultra that adds some features like translations but it isn't necessary.

    Where is the option to pay once? I can't find it.

    The why not just sub for the yearly plan, then immediately cancel - same thing as a one time payment, you get to support the dev, and you don't have a subscription to worry about

    Because then the ads come back after a year. I want no ads for life for a one time fee. Sync for reddit offered that, why not here?

    Okay then how much are you willing to spend? Say around 35 bucks? Developers need to eat too. ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

    Developers make more money than I do, and I need to worry about my own food first lol. I'd pay $35 one time, but I also remember a time not that long ago where $10 one-time could buy you basically anything on the app store lol.

    I like the app, but I hate recurring fees more. Jerboa is free. It might not be perfect, but it works, is ad-free, is on F-Droid, and is infinitely more affordable than $17/yr.
