Last thread was complaints of not wanting subscriptions this thread is complaints of too expensive 🤷. By all means keep the ads or use another app. Imo it's not super surprising to be pricey when it's a one time purchase instead of the subscription.
Welcome to the internet
“We want this”
“No not like that”
Sync is good enough to get 20 bucks easily. If I wasn’t on iPhone, I would immediately.
Having paid $6 for reddit sync probably over a decade ago while the dev has maintained and improved the app over those years with no additional money from me, I think I got a pretty good deal. It's definitely a calculation to make but I don't think $20 would have been unreasonable a decade ago and I don't really think it is now. Maybe also dont forget to put some blame on reddit, the dev got fucked there and has to rebuild the customer base that would have included recurring payment customers (unlike me).
If the subscription was $200/year, would you consider $250 for lifetime to be a deal?
The sub includes more feature unlocks than just ad removal. The pro unlock doesn't include user tagging anymore like it did for reddit for example.
