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!

Ultra =! Pro
Adfree is available as a separate lifetime purchase for 10 USD.
You have countries where people don’t earn $1 a day. Once they cover their basic needs, $10 is like wining the lottery.
It’s where Youtube does better. The price of premium is adapted to the local situation.
I’ve been working in developing aid for ages, and while true that there are places where people earn below $1, those people hardly have smartphones.
And if they do, they can use the ad supported version just fine.
Still too expensive.
I’ve used sync for reddit just over 12 years long. If I get the same time out of lemmy, that’s 80 cents per year.
If that’s too much for you, I can’t help you.
‘Remove ads’ is ₹2000 ($24.17) in India.
Wait a couple days, regional pricing is not working yet. That’s a Google problem.
I hope that’s the case
Where is the one time purchase?
Did you upgrade to beta 25 yet? Generally you might wait a few more days until all the pricing stuff is working properly, google is still rolling it out.
