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!

    Give me a one-time purchase of like $10-15 and I will, but I don’t do (non-voluntary) subs.

    I don’t need any of the push notification services.

    Edit: Added within hours. Immediately got it.

      I remember going for the largest OTP for Sync quite happily. Might have been £30 or something. Subscription? Nah.

      Edit: Looks like the remove ads OTP option has been added so I’ve hopped onto that.

      Would you be okay if the one time purchase meant you did not receive any updates to Sync? Or perhaps it only got a few months of updates? That seems fair to me.

        No, but I’d be willing to pay years ahead at once for something that I know I’ll be using for longer than that.

        Everything has an expiration date anyways, because I don’t live forever. Who knows if we’ll still be using Android 10 years from now. It’s just basically a discount on very long term usage that gives the money ahead of time while taking the gamble that I will actually be using it for longer than the subscription price would be.
