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!

No. !fucksubscriptions@lemmy.world !

I would gladly pay once though.

[โ€“] twistedtxb@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yep. As stupid as is sounds, I would pay even higher for a one off purchase.

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Sounds entirely reasonable to me

[โ€“] McNasty@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can pay once to remove ads. There's a subscription called ultra that adds some features like translations but it isn't necessary.

[โ€“] WimpyWoodchuck@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Where is the option to pay once? I can't find it.

[โ€“] Enpeze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

For me it's when you click your account icon at the top left. Then it's right above the Ultra subscription

In Beta 25, in the account switcher in the top left is a "Remove Ads" button. It's $19.99 one time. No word yet on the price for a lifetime Ultra subscription.

[โ€“] Deiv@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea but it's ads only, it's the "remove ads" option. It would be a lot nicer if it was ultra for a one-time fee

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Lifetime Ultra is also now available albeit significantly more expensive.

[โ€“] traches@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Understandable. Dev says it's coming, not sure what the pricing will be.

[โ€“] McNasty@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

It's here already. I subbed for a year already, so I can't see the price to just remove ads.

[โ€“] Notsospecialk362@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Welp, there it is, second reasonable response in this thread

[โ€“] bitsplease@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The why not just sub for the yearly plan, then immediately cancel - same thing as a one time payment, you get to support the dev, and you don't have a subscription to worry about

[โ€“] doggle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because then the ads come back after a year. I want no ads for life for a one time fee. Sync for reddit offered that, why not here?

[โ€“] McNasty@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

There's an option to pay once to remove ads forever.

[โ€“] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

I want no ads for life for a one time fee

Dev is adding that. =)

[โ€“] radix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Because one year < forever.

[โ€“] DM_Gold@lemmy.dbzer0.com -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay then how much are you willing to spend? Say around 35 bucks? Developers need to eat too. ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

A developer of this caliber can easily get 90K CAD at his day job, and even more in the US.
