All that lazy “landed gentry” no longer volunteering their time and labor.

Literally my two favorite (former) Reddit clients by a wide margin. This makes me happy.

Not complaining, but 15€ for ad-removal without the sync-ultra-features is a bit steeper than I expected.

I understand that the smaller user base probably requires higher prices, but that’s a number that made me reluctant to pull the trigger.

I’m subscribing to Ultra anyway, but with Sync for Reddit, I always enjoyed the option to fall back to “Pro,” if I let my subscription lapse. I was going to pounce right away on Sync for Lemmy Pro, but now I’m not so sure.

You do you. People who have used Sync in the past know what you’re missing out on.

Sync Pro is back now. At a bit of a premium, though, 15€ IAP.

15€ here.

One time payment option was just added.

I sure hope it will, but there’s no guarantee. This is still a much smaller and quiet different audience than Reddit’s and this might not be worth the effort for ljdawson in the long run. Heck, there were times when he paused development of the Reddit client despite its far larger reach.

I’m honestly a little shocked by the amount of open hostility he got all over the Fediverse for simply offering a premium/ad-supported/closed-source-client.

I’m a little hesitant to pull the trigger on this one, 15€ is just a tad over the pain threshold for an app with an unknown future and there’s still Boost to look forward to - I’m waiting to see Boost’s pricing first.

Are you planning a separate “Sync Pro” app without the app-framework? Like it used to be?

Wow, you weren’t kidding. That’s literally more than 10 times what I paid for the original Sync for Reddit Pro (standalone, without the ad- and tracking framework).

That’s “I want to technically offer a one-time-payment option, but don’t want people to actually use it”-pricing, especially since it doesn’t come with any of the additional subscription features.

I just went from “cool, this will probably be my new home” to “I can’t wait to see what Boost has to offer”.

As someone who bought the premium version of pretty much every single 3rd Party Reddit client (and just about every app I use that allows for ad-removal), this might be the first one I’ll skip.
