As someone who has never used Sync, what are the features in Ultra to justify a 5x increase in price?

On Reddit, Sync Ultra was able to restore deleted comments and translate posts/comments in app.

I hate subscriptions as much as the next one, but I have never used Reddit, only Sync, and it is such a polished app, so I'm paying 3$ a month to keep ljdawson developing it to be even better.

So the money also goes towards keeping the developer interested and invested in his app.

I know plenty of free alternatives exists, and as of now you aren't getting anything for your money that you couldn't get elsewhere for free, but as of now I am loving having sync back.
