Sync for Lemmy

Why are people so stingy when it comes to software pricing? I feel like the app store model of $1 apps really killed the general publics idea of the value of software and ended up driving the ad based revenue system a lot.

€5 is all you would pay? Let's say you use the app one hour per week for two years, you are valuing that at ~0.004¢. that is astronomically low, and is already based off of a pretty low usage rate.

Do you think the app would provide less value to you over 2 years than a single beer at a bar?

At $20 us (I don't know the cost in euros) and the same usage it puts Sync's value at a still cheap 0.016¢ (USD)

Even if you only used it once per month over a 2 year period it's still only about 20 cents each use.

In my opinion a $20 one time fee for an application that I will likely use daily, with a trusted track record and a quality experience is more than fair. That's the same as a video game I would play for maybe 10 hours or a movie that I will watch once or maybe twice.

I didn't mean to unload on you specifically, but I see this 'outrage pricing' a lot and it irks me.
