[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (5 children) Sync is out of their fucking mind with pricing. They were my preferred reddit app, but not for Lemmy permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] ilickfrogs@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago* (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* It wasn't a labor of love if he was charging for it, it just had a "small time dev" feel. A dev that just happens to have a fanclub encouraging every single decision he makes, no matter how dumb. Let's also not forget he tried to make it a subscription at release, only to quickly walk that back once people got pissed. He claims it was always the plan to have a one time charge, but seeing as how he wants as able to add it within 24 hours, there's no real reason why it couldn't have been there at release date except that he didn't want it to be. permalink fedilink source parent [–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) 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... permalink fedilink source parent [–] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [This comment has been deleted by an automated system] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) As Lemmy scales up they will be left in the dust as people migrate from reddit to Lemmy and get sticker shock, and nope right out of the app. Sync devs killing their market as a result. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [This comment has been deleted by an automated system] permalink fedilink source parent [–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago Yeah, it's too expensive for me, but I'm using a VPN with an ad block, so I don't see ads anyway 🤷♂️ permalink fedilink source parent [–] JWBananas@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
