R5: just started checking it out. It’s cool and has some advantages of others. It’s hella expensive. Thoughts?

Not worth it. Plenty of free apps like Voyager that are adfree and have all the features needed.

Def check out Boost. I’ve used both and can’t find anything in sync to warrant the coat vs. Boost. That said, Boost is worth the cost for sure, and if Boost wasn’t an option, I’d consider sync.

Since no one in this thread mentioned it: Thunder is also great, open source and free.

And it’s pretty decent, Voyager is definitely worth trying!

I’m a long-time fan of Boost and admittedly biased as I love its UI and UX. But Voyager is definitely a good one.

I use Connect.

Plenty of features. Last time I checked, it was on par, or better, with sync. As ad-supported freeware, sync just bas too many ads, which on my phone turns into endless black squares of blocked content.

You van support Connect with the usual buy-me-coffee thingy.

I also use Connect. I wonder if some of these alternatives have fewer issues.

I’m using eternity, which is open source and excellent. See https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Eternity/releases

If you feel you need to burn your money on something that is available elsewhere for free…

Do you.

Is there another client that allows you to sync communities across accounts for free? That has been a huge pain with instances failing.

I’m using Sync with adblock but it has these features locked behind a paywall.

Had been using Sync nonstop. Tried Boost this morning.

I no longer use Sync.

I’ve been using Boost for Reddit for years but I ditched it in favor of Voyager, which supports mod actions and is FOSS.
