Afternoon everyone,

I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap

Pricing

  1. Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)

  2. You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20

  3. Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required

  4. I'll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks

There are now 24k installed users up from 100 the previous day!

I'm going to be spending the next few days going through all of the comments / messages and fixing any crashes.

As always thanks for the support and hope you're liking Sync!

Lj

this could’ve started with a regular ass subscription price to get rid of ads

There is... Do you even know what you're talking about? The price to remove ads perpetually is $20 with perpetual ultra being $100. Ultra can also be bought for $2/mo or $17(ish?)/year subscriptions.

Look, some people don't have an issue paying money to support the dev and the development of the app. You clearly don't which is totally fine! There are tons of different options available. You don't have to like sync or the pricing model but talking down on people who do is absurdly stupid.

This conversation is so unproductive I'm out.

dog i said i know there’s other options available, it’s the premise i take issue with here. for a player completely unproven in this space to even have an option to pay $100 is wild.

conversations tend to be nonproductive when you don’t engage with them in a meaningful way.

LJ has a 10+ year reputation. Some people want to support him and pay $100 but no one has to. You keep shifting goalposts which is why you think I'm not meaningfully engaging lmao. Alright I'm actually out. I'm just repeating myself at this point.

you’re responding to a single sentence out of every message, but sure.
