The app itself uses a lot of cloud services and apis. Those cost money. Lemmy and lemmy instances cost money to run as well, and it is struggling to stay afloat with donations according to a post I read from the lemmy.world admins.
That being said, I am sure syncs monetization is setup in a way to at least make the creator a few bucks on top of paying for the services.
I believe you are confusing the lifetime price with the yearly one.
