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!

You're viewing a single thread.
No. !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world !
I would gladly pay once though.
Yep. As stupid as is sounds, I would pay even higher for a one off purchase.
Sounds entirely reasonable to me
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.
For me it's when you click your account icon at the top left. Then it's right above the Ultra subscription
22€ apparently
In Beta 25, in the account switcher in the top left is a "Remove Ads" button. It's $19.99 one time. No word yet on the price for a lifetime Ultra subscription.
Yea but it's ads only, it's the "remove ads" option. It would be a lot nicer if it was ultra for a one-time fee
Lifetime Ultra is also now available albeit significantly more expensive.
Understandable. Dev says it's coming, not sure what the pricing will be.
It's here already. I subbed for a year already, so I can't see the price to just remove ads.
Welp, there it is, second reasonable response in this thread
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?
There's an option to pay once to remove ads forever.
I want no ads for life for a one time fee
Dev is adding that. =)
Because one year < forever.
Okay then how much are you willing to spend? Say around 35 bucks? Developers need to eat too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
Fair point, though I think Voyager is better than Jerboa.
A developer of this caliber can easily get 90K CAD at his day job, and even more in the US.
