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!

I'm still paying my sync for reddit fee and I bought pro in 2012. I also subbed to the lemmy variant today.

Why would you still be paying for reddit sync? If you want to donate, do it directly and not in a way where Google takes 15%

I can't believe everyone asking for a one time payment option. If you don't want to keep subscribing just get a yearly ultra and then cancel. Support the dev guys. Nothing worth having is free

I might shell out the money for ad free at some point, but right now I'm not confident that Lemmy will be relevant in a year. That said, the app is fantastic and I made it look exactly like the Reddit version of the app. It's just such a good app, I love it.

The difference is I use YouTube and YouTube Music for hours a day. I'm on Lemmy maybe an hour a day. I'm not paying any subscription for a free service. I wouldn't even pay for YouTube Premium, but I'm an original Google Music adopter, and their music algorithm really knows what I like.

I gave up Netflix, so I can stomach the cost increase this one time. Maybe my mood will change when the price increase hits later this year.

First thing I did, it's amazing

How about, you know, Sync Pro again? I'd gladly pay one time to remove ads, but I'm not doing subscriptions.

[–] SymphonicResonance@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I paid to remove ads. I did so before seeing the price for Ultra. Ah well. lol

[–] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

So speaking of that, it seems like you have to pay per device. I payed for ultra on my phone, but it doesn't seem to carry over to my tablet.
