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!

    Sync for Reddit Pro was 2.99€… I was expecting that much or up to 5€ for Sync for Lemmy… But these prices are just ridiculous. As much as I like Sync I just can’t justify this kind of pricing when there are so many free alternatives without ads and tracking.

    Right now I’m using Sync and it’s really nice but it’s not that much better than Jerboa for my use case.

      I was paying 12 a year for Lastpass and that at least has uses, now using bitwarden, because it does the same and is free

      I originally paid $5 or something for sync pro in 2014. That worked out to be almost 9 years of daily use for me and was way too cheap for the utility that was provided.

      Lifetime subscriptions for $5 are not really sustainable for the developer, eventually the pool of new users dries up. I think 17$ a year is very reasonable, if not cheap (for users in western countries).
