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

    The backlash has surprised me a bit. I agree the price is a bit steep but considering the userbase is only a fraction of what Reddit has, it’s understandable that the price would be higher.

    I just didn’t expect such negative reactions to either the ad component or the price. A lot have mentioned that it could become a form of gatekeeping for newcomers. I just hope it won’t turn out that way.

      $5 for the 8 years I used Sync for Reddit is cheap as fuck looking back. $20 is totally fair if I use this app even half as long.

        Seriously. I got absolutely massive return for my money on Reddit sync. As a long time user, I’m absolutely thrilled to pay $30 for such a great experience. Nothing else I’ve paid for even comes close. This is cheap AF! I’m not a big fan of subscriptions but I’d consider getting the Sync subscription just to keep supporting ljdawson.

      I paid $30 for a launcher (Niagara). It was worth it. I’ll give Sync a few days and will probably end up throwing down some cash. Seems solid so far.
