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!

    I’m sure that’s true.

    I mean, pricing at $20 right now for ad-free was probably 100% the right thing to do for the dev. There are clearly longtime hardcore fans who are happily running to pay much that for the app.

    But at some point, those fans will all have paid their money. And that leaves people like me who’d gladly pay $5-10… but $20 just seems a bit too steep on principle. Until the price is slightly less steep, the dev only gets my pennies, instead of years-to-decades worth of my pennies all in one shot.
