I bought sync pro and have sync for lemmy installed; there’s no way to activate pro right now, and afaik that option is not coming.
Presently you can buy a permanent ad removal in-app for $20, you can subscribe to sync ultra for $17/yr, or you can use it free with ads.
It’s a good app, and the dev absolutely deserves to make money. If I understand correctly, developing sync is his full-time job. The prices are definitely steeper than with sync for reddit, but Lemmy is a much smaller community. He can’t necessarily expect as many sales.

Since beta 25 it is now possible (and the developer had mentioned before that it was coming).
Edit: I stand corrected (should have read your comment more attentively), what’s available is, as you say, the option to remove ads with a one-time payment, as well as the sync ultra subscription. I’m not sure how the ad removal option is different from the pro mode in sync for reddit, though.
In Sync for Lemmy, I currently see a lifetime sub of $99.99, so I’m waiting for the price to decrease or something because, like you said, since Lemmy is a smaller community that price tag is a bit steep at the moment. I hope it’s reduced or people who got lifetime in Sync for Reddit can get that purchase back. Thanks for the quick reply.
In the lemmy community someone said that a one-time Pro version is coming later, once the app leaves beta
Yo I just checked this.
A hundred fucking dollars?
Jesus christ, lemmy is still in a fledgling state compared to reddit i don’t care if you designed the most perfect app known to man, this is some insane overvaluation.
No that’s the lifetime subscription. If you only want ads-free it’s about 15euros.
