The prices are super harsh. >€20 just to remove ads. €19/year for the subscription.
I get that they have much less potential users to spread their costs on, but that's too much for the added benefit over e.g. connect.
Subscription for sync ultra. Extra features. To remove ads one time payment is coming afaik. And currently I don't see a single ad with dns ad blocker. Not even the ad space.
That €20 is for remove ads. Update the app and check the sidebar
I got enough use out of Sync for Reddit that I figure I owe the guy $20.
Not a fan of the lifetime price for Ultra, but it is what it is.
I am on the free version and it looks and feels exactly the same as my sync pro for reddit.
I'm not seeing any ads on the free version lol where are they
I'm not seeing any either, but that's because I have an ad blocker. But still, €20 for removing ads is a massive amount.
I'm not using a DNS ad-blocker and I've only seen two or three ads over hours on the service. I personally find that tolerable, but to each their own.
Yeah exactly. Sync pro doesn't have any.
114€ for lifetime ultra subscription
That's more than I'd pay for an operating system.
I use a mobile browser and don't see ads on Lemmy. Why plaster it with ads? What's the benefit this app gives me?
