Maybe an unpopular opinion, but 22โฌ for the ads-free option sounds a bit expensive to me. I bought Sync Pro for reddit for 3โฌ in 2018.
Same, I actually simply can't afford that much money right now.
If only there were a cheaper app ...
Nah, I love Sync, it's great. I just would have hoped for slightly cheaper prices. I don't believe that the dev is simply greedy.
Yeah, what the fuck. I already paid for the old app, what's with the pricing here.
Not to mention - that's just the ad-free option. Sync "Ultra", which I'm guessing is the equivalent of Pro from before, is now nearly ยฃ100 unless I want a subscription.
People don't have any money anymore, or at least I don't. Can't believe I've been priced out of the app market and the dating market, fuck me I guess. Or don't.
Nah, Sync Ultra isn't the equivalent, it already existed in the old app, but was 35 โฌ.
That's the one I bought, in that case. And not long before the API bullshit. So that was a good use of my money.
If you feel you're being priced out of the dating market, you really need to consider more cost efficient date options. Public parks, hiking, lots of museums have free or discounted days, beaches or lakes, you can cook a meal for your date which is both a Chad move and cost effective, Even Netflix and chill is pretty cheap. Not every date has to be an expensive restaurant or movie outing. Hell, putt putt golf is cheap if you and your date like somewhat corny. I know I do.
Lemmy Ultra = Sync Ultra
Lemmy Adfree = Sync Pro
The old app was simply too cheap, that's that. One-off purchases for $2 are hardly sustainable for individual developers.
There is a one time 20 dollar purchase option for the pro version. Ultra just has some extra perks if you like.
