Afternoon everyone,

I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap

Pricing

Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)
You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20
Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required
I'll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks

There are now 24k installed users up from 100 the previous day!

I'm going to be spending the next few days going through all of the comments / messages and fixing any crashes.

As always thanks for the support and hope you're liking Sync!

$20 once, for an app you're going to use daily for the foreseeable future mind you, is not the unreasonable take that people on here seem to think it is.

You get what you pay for, and Sync has proven it's track record with the Reddit app already. This isn't just some random app dev asking for money on his bejeweled clone.

It's $100 once. The $20 option is a yearly subscription.

Edit: Some misunderstanding. It's $20 to remove ads, and $100 to get all features. Maybe the $20 subscription is for full features and removing ads?

You have completely misread the app. The "Sync Ultra" is not the same as the one-time "Remove Ads" option.

If you want "Sync Ultra" for a lifetime, it's $100 or w/e it's listed as, that comes with all the extra features listed in the app. If you just want to remove ads and use the app without the Ultra features, you only have to pay $20 once.

Re: your edit

Yes, the subscription option has a monthly/yearly/lifetime structure set at $2/$17/$100 respectively. Each of those unlocks all the Ultra features (which includes removing ads).

Which is separate from the one time payment of the $20 to only remove ads.
