The app itself uses a lot of cloud services and apis. Those cost money. Lemmy and lemmy instances cost money to run as well, and it is struggling to stay afloat with donations according to a post I read from the lemmy.world admins.

That being said, I am sure syncs monetization is setup in a way to at least make the creator a few bucks on top of paying for the services.

I believe you are confusing the lifetime price with the yearly one.

Thanks for the correction. You are right. I think I got confused from another thread about sync. I looked it up and fixed it.
