Sync Ultra is a very reasonable $17 a YEAR. YouTube Premium is reaching that per MONTH. I have sync downloaded and it was the first thing I did. Thanks lj for the beautiful app.

[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.

There are many counterpoints and actually good discussion happening down below. Even if you don't agree, thanks for showing me a different perspective!

If you want to support Sync, make sure to support the Lemmy Devs and your instance holders as well!

I despise recurring fees, so no. $17 sounds good for a 1-time fee though.

There's a one time purchase to remove ads.

The ultra subscription adds a few features like translations that use cloud services.

It would be nice to have a one-time donation option for the ultra version, instead of just removing ads

He added it, $100

I agree, but I imagine the size of the userbase is why there's a subscription model for cloud features.

I'm cool with a 1 time fee to stop ads, but I don't see how to do that anywhere. I can only figure out how to pay $2/month or $17/year for Ultra

In Beta 25, in the account switcher in the top left is a "Remove Ads" button. It's $19.99 one time. No word yet on the price for a lifetime Ultra subscription.

Check the Play Store for an update if you don't see it.

Okay, yeah, I think I had to update (or I'm blind). Thanks! That's much better!
