Afternoon everyone,
I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap
Pricing
-
Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)
-
You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20
-
Sync Ultra also removes ads but it’s not required
-
I’ll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks
There are now 24k installed users up from 100 the previous day!
I’m going to be spending the next few days going through all of the comments / messages and fixing any crashes.
As always thanks for the support and hope you’re liking Sync!
Lj
Edit: testing edit
Not to wake sleeping dogs or anything, but uh I don’t see any ads. Where are those ads supposed to be?
Like the kid asking if there’s any homework tonight 😆
I mean, yeah fair. I also don’t look forward to dropping 20 bucks to remove them when they inevitably come. Though I will say if the price was more like 5-10 bucks I wouldn’t even ask the question because I would have paid that sight unseen.
$20 for a perpetual ad-free license to a fully featured app is asking too much?
App devs must have the thickest skin alive to live with their user base
Especially with a user base like Lemmy’s
20$ is not expensive, but some people on a very tight budget can’t afford it. It’s that simple. But no problem, I’ll keep up with ads until I can.
For real lol, the kinda of people if you checked would have loads of hours clocked in the app too
What view are you using? I see the empty “Sponsored Content” boxes on the slides view, but nothing on small cards (my preferred setting).
Same, I haven’t seen any ads. I paid for Sync Pro back in the Reddit days, so wondering if this is somehow stopping them?
Don’t think so, I tapped “restore purchases” out of curiosity and it said “no purchases found”.
Afaik it’s in beta so maybe the dev will enable it once it’s v.1.0?
Are you using a ad blocking dns service?
