I've just checked, the lifetime price is showing up as Β£95.99 to me ($120) that seems a bit steep!

Can anyone confirm, and this may have Already been answered.
Does the remove adds on the left pane, remove them for lifetime at 20$?
Edit: seems like 20$ will be ads removed lifetime but No fancy features.

As far as I can tell this is the case. Fair enough with how long Sync for Reddit lasted.
I saw someone saying there would be an ultra lifetime payment option coming as well, although not a part of the discord so can't confirm that.
Happily, thank you for not forcing a subscription model!
I wish ljd would do regional pricing. There are parts of the world where $20 is prohibitively expensive.
I fully recognize I'm in a position of relative privilege, but I am more than happy paying an annual subscription of <$20 for an app like this.
Building an app of this quality with this level of polish is a massive time investment, and I'm more than happy to reward that time with less money per year than I spent doordashing lunch this afternoon because I was too lazy to make myself a sandwich.
god, honestly this has kinda turned me off even trying sync at all. liftoff works fine, and these devs are neither asking me for money, nor showing me advertisements.
i sincerely hope no one is out here thinking theyβre gonna earn a living with an unofficial-app for a fledgling social media service, for which there currently exists no fewer than ELEVEN other fully featured apps in the google play store.

Really slick and professional looking app but, you gotta make price adjustments for the purchasing power. Especially for the ad removal option. My income and ad revenues you will be getting from me are way less than that of the US and EU users.
I would probably buy premium if it was $20 but $99 is way too high.
And $20 just to remove ads is also a lot, at least for me. I have a dns level ad blocker and it's needed these days in the extreamly hostile user environment we exist in.
Honestly I think 20 usd is reasonable. I think people here are being weird. That's like the price of a book or indie game on steam - surely an app that you read on every day is worth that?
Also Lemmy will continue to grow so the value will just increase.
