Or don't subscribe and wait until a lifetime option appears. I fucking hate subscriptions, every single company, tool, or software use it. No one can go one day without letting a customer actually own shit. It's so god damn annoying.

I agree with some things, I don't do subscriptions most of the time but for something like this that is developed by one guy for his livelihood, I can understand his desire for some financial security. For most things I will just pirate it if it's heavy handed about subscribing to their service, but if a couple dollars a month helps LJ continue to develop my favorite app I'm not complaining. It's such a small amount of money anyway.

I'm not saying this to take away from your argument, I also see the validity in buying a license vs a subscription. I guess in my head I can make an exception for Sync, only because I've used it SO much over the years.

This is pretty much my sentiment for choosing to subscribe monthly to Sync as well. Sync for Reddit was one of the most polished, feature-rich, and customizable apps available for Android, and LJ Dawson is doing it by himself. I want to support him.

Yeah I hate it too. I am using Thunder for Lemmy bc of the subscription in Sync.

I'm not sure what he plans to make it cost, but out of curiosity, what would you consider a reasonable lifetime cost given the current sub cost?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'd say about 5 bucks to remove ads and trackers permanently aka the Pro version.

For the Ultra idk, probably in the ballpark of 40 to 60 bucks.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dang ultra ended up being almost double that, rough

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

How about 20? Yes, really. Removing ads is 20 fucking dollars.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

For no ads I'm totally fine with 10-15 dollars since I'm not so enticed by the features currently. Even more is fine, supporting the dev is also important, just that I have more than enough subscriptions as is draining my bank.
