I added the new price tiers based on user feedback on here after launching.

I appreciate that, but your pricing is still still disproportionately high, especially when compared to the number of fantastic free alternatives out there.

I love your app, and I've supported you as a Pro and Ultra member on Sync for Reddit as well, but I really think you should reconsider the current subscription pricing and lifetime purchases for Ultra options. As far as I'm aware, Sync is also one of the only major Lemmy apps that has introduced ads/pay to remove ads option. You've brought subscriptions and money into a platform that is now home to an exodus of users that hated how those things were slowly destroying Reddit. It just doesn't sit right with me.

I've signed up for a year out of a show as support for you. The best thing you could do is show your long-term support for this platform by encouraging growth and fair options for users rather than creating multi-tiered pay walls with questionably high prices.

Well as far as I am aware, not much if any of the ad and pricing policies have changed from Sync for Reddit, so it does not make much sense to be all the sudden surprised that Sync for Lemmy continues to be ad-supported. Sync for Lemmy is basically just a faithful port of Sync for Reddit with as few changes as necessary, which AFAIK is exactly what everyone asked for.

ad and pricing policies have changed from Sync for Reddit

The ad-free version of Sync for Reddit (Pro) was around £2 to £5, depending on when you bought it.

There was also a fairly priced lifetime cost for Ultra (around £25). The pricing policy you're referring to is vastly different from what's on offer right now. I'm not sure how you're managing to even compare them.
