What it change
Sync for Reddit pro cost me €2.69 in 2015. €23 is a bit of a step up.
Yeah. I paid for Sync Pro and I’d gladly pay again (even though I’ve pretty much settled for Kbin), but I was expecting something like €4.99 not €21.99. Call me cheap but I’m not doing that.
True, probably to adjust to how much the subscription model makes.
If you’ve ever used Infinity for Reddit, there is a version for Lemmy that just released too. It has no ads and is opensource.
Thanks, I saw it in another thread and installed it earlier. I’m mostly using Thunder because earlier it was the only client with haptic feedback, but it’s a bit rough around the edges. I used to use Infinity for Reddit before.
I don’t mind paying more since Lemmy is a smaller market but I’ll wait for a sale I think.
I’m still probably going to hold out for Boost for Lemmy to come out, so I’m just on the $2/mo plan right now.

Pihole at home is blocking it so far. I’d like to pay the developer when the price is a bit more in range.
Lemmy has maybe 0.1% of the users Reddit has.
The dev can’t rely on tens of thousands of people paying a dollar, he needs thousands of people to pay ten dollars. Or whatever the equivalent is.
I feel like $10 would be a lot more reasonable than the $25 it costs here.
That’s cool. 60 cent can of tomato soup now costs $3.50
My rent went from $850 to $2300
Do you think you should pay 2015 prices in 2023?
I expect the price to increase for sure. But still, I’ve got options and can choose.
No one said you can’t. Just don’t be surprised when prices aren’t 2015 prices.
You can now make a one-time purchase to remove ads. You can find the option below the account switcher.
£19 OTP! WTF! Ljdawson tell me this is a mistake…
I paid £12.99?

It did not cost me $26 CDN. Maybe $8.
Hi fellow Canadian! Tell me, how much has your grocery, gas, and rent prices increased?
Notice how everything is more expensive? And you expect a developer to keep up with old pricing?
Inflation is awful. Gas as gone up 18%. Food about 20%. But $8 to $26 is a percentage increase of 225%.
I don’t find your example valid, sorry.
Crazy how when it updated this morning, pay to remove ads was 12.99. I went back in and it’s now 19.99. Crazy.
Still says $12.99 for me. I also haven’t seen a single ad on the free version. Not paying till I see one.
Just to reiterate. I love sync and will support the developer. Curious on how Lemmy pans out.
$12.99 is an annual subscription that gets you no ads, auto-translate and some other features.
$19.99 is one time, lifetime payment for no-ads only.
That $12.99 was for a year subscription and is still available as an option. $19.99 is the buy-once and have ads removed forever.
nope. it was the same ‘remove ads’ button. same functionality, just higher price. There is only one option.
The buy once option literally just appeared like an hour ago. The update just went live and didn’t exist before this update.
the no ads option was cheaper right when it went up. price was increased like an hour later
That’s 30CAD.
I like the app, nowhere that much tho.
exactly. I think the dev is banking on all the craziness for an app, why not charge more for the early birds. Strike while the fire is hot. Good for him, but yea, I’ll wait. Lemmy itself isn’t that full grown yet to warrant it either.
You can now pay one time to remove ads without subscribing to Ultra.
What if we’ve already subscribed to Ultra but just want the one time payment?

I imagine the dev hasn’t implemented subscription migration yet. Just cancel your subscription renewal and buy the one time option next year when your subscription ends.
Lol?
Too expensive for a social app? Yeah. But I’ll put some money into his development for this year to help bootstrap a new community and evaluate again next year.
