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 j for the beautiful app.

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

            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 $16.99 one time. The same price as a year of Ultra. 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

      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. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Developers make more money than I do, and I need to eat too 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.

        A developer of this caliber can easily get 90K CAD at his day job, and even more in the US.
