Sync Ultra is a very reasonable $17 a YEAR. YouTube Premium is reaching that per MONTH. I have sync downloaded and it was the first thing I did. Thanks lj for the beautiful app.

[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.

There are many counterpoints and actually good discussion happening down below. Even if you don't agree, thanks for showing me a different perspective!

If you want to support Sync, make sure to support the Lemmy Devs and your instance holders as well!

I'm not comfortable with a subscription model, sorry. I will happily pay for a one-time fee. For the use I do of Lemmy I'll pay up to €5. If they want to release a new version of the app in, say, 2-3 years down the line and ask for a new fee, I'm fine too.

I'll wait until Boost releases (it was my default Reddit app) and will choose between Sync, Boost, Summit, and Infinity paid versions.

Mobilsm will have a cracked version of Sync in a day or two, so no paying at all. And that's coming from someone who wanted to pay, but not $115

Why are people so stingy when it comes to software pricing? I feel like the app store model of $1 apps really killed the general publics idea of the value of software and ended up driving the ad based revenue system a lot.

€5 is all you would pay? Let's say you use the app one hour per week for two years, you are valuing that at ~0.004¢. that is astronomically low, and is already based off of a pretty low usage rate.

Do you think the app would provide less value to you over 2 years than a single beer at a bar?

At $20 us (I don't know the cost in euros) and the same usage it puts Sync's value at a still cheap 0.016¢ (USD)

Even if you only used it once per month over a 2 year period it's still only about 20 cents each use.

In my opinion a $20 one time fee for an application that I will likely use daily, with a trusted track record and a quality experience is more than fair. That's the same as a video game I would play for maybe 10 hours or a movie that I will watch once or maybe twice.

I didn't mean to unload on you specifically, but I see this 'outrage pricing' a lot and it irks me.

Infinity paid version?

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, between those which have paid version (Boost and Sync, I think)
