Afternoon everyone,

I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap

Pricing

Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)
You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20
Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required
I'll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks

There are now 24k installed users up from 100 the previous day!

I'm going to be spending the next few days going through all of the comments / messages and fixing any crashes.

As always thanks for the support and hope you're liking Sync!

I paid for ad free because I want to help support this app and the developer.

However, I feel it's going to be very hard for me to convince others to use Sync. I am a long time user and so I have loyalty and I understand the benefit and so the money is worth it to me. It's also a nice way for me to give back after a decade of Sync for Reddit.

But I'm not sure I can convince newer folks with this price point.

That said, the app is great and I love it. Keep it up!

It's still amazing as a free app? You don't have to convince people to pay $20 unless they want to support the dev

What is the typical per-user income that the dev gets from ads -- say in a year? Take that, multiply by 5 or 10, and it seems like that would be a reasonable one-time payment.

Pennies. People think you're making a ton because some YouTubers make millions, but the reality is you get paid $0.006 per ad click.
