Oh BEYOND out of their minds. Sync is certainly a great app. But like, I can buy a game for what they wanted. I was a Boost user on Reddit, had that labour of love feel to it.

I'm really glad to hear I'm not the only one who balked on seeing the price. Off to Boost it is then!

EDIT: Editing this comment from Boost. Already prefer it to Sync. Can't get my head around their pricing at all...

Yeah, it's too expensive for me, but I'm using a VPN with an ad block, so I don't see ads anyway 🤷‍♂️

I paid $1 for Reddit Sync Pro and used it for hours a day for 13 years. In that time the developer provided dozens of updates, multiple major overhauls, and continual usage of functionality that requires the developer to pay ongoing API fees to provide.

Sync for Lemmy pricing is exactly as much as it should be.

I've legit already "boosted the rocket" in Boost for Lemmy. My issue with Sync was the fucking audacity to ask for 30$. My google opinion rewards will slowly funnel their way into rocket fuel out of mere respect for him being humble.

Lemmy is fairly shit, but I spend a lot of time here nonetheless. I've probably got more than 30 euro worth of value from it. But, that said I cant bring myself to pay that kind of money for an app.

Again the other other side of that is subscription fees but we all hate them so I think the pricing is justifiable but not for me personally

People were far more upset at the one time fee to remove ads being 30$. The monthly subscriptions include extra features. I used sync with an adblock so I never saw the ads anyway. I wouldn't have seen them on boost either but it's the principle behind it.
