Hey everyone, I’ve just updated pricing points for around 100 different countries for removing ads.
Please let me know how these look, it’s been quite the challenge getting this right in so many different regions.
I’ll be expanding localised pricing to ultra following feedback from this thread.
Cheers, Lj
Thanks, at a much cheaper price in India now!
What’s the price over there now?
Got Sync Ultra lifetime for 849₹, that would be 10.27 USD.
That must be wrong. Sync Ultra Lifetime is 117 USD for me.
Are you getting that price in India?! Maybe you need to update the app?
Pricing is based on region, cost of a meal in that region, purchasing power and other factors.
You are doing good work but it ain’t worth 15 Big Macs. I want the features. But its incorrect pricing. I can’t pay this even if I was a millionaire, it’s just wrong. Sorry.
I understand Devs need to eat, but lifetime ultra is 100 USD (111 USD with tax) for Indonesians. I doubt he will get single purchase from us. We are third world country, even Americans would find that pricing distatsteful. 😂
Yearly works out at better value tbf
Remove ads at Rs. 200. Almost 2.5 USD
Still too much in Australia. Sorry, want to support the work like on Sync for Reddit. But this app doesn’t even have functionality to post yet and is $25 to remove ads. It just doesn’t feel right considering it’s the fediverse and there are no ads at the source.
I know you need to make a living. So you do what you need to.
Similar feedback from NZ. $28 NZD to remove ads… I think I paid around $5 for Sync for Reddit premium. I know that was a while ago, but $28 would be the most expensive app purchase I’ve ever made by a long way. In fact it’d be the most expensive software purchase of any kind that I’ve made in years. I’d love to support and this would normally be an easy decision for me, but given that Lemmy itself is still finding its feet I just can’t justify it.
Agree that it’s your livelihood and your price to set 100%, just thought some feedback that this particular localised price is steep might be useful.
Should be $24.99 AUD there and I’m just finishing up posting. The price in Australia is regionalised.
Yeah I noticed it had been changed. My feedback is that it’s still too high. Sorry. The app is still in beta and missing major functionality. I think you may also need to look at some competitors as I haven’t seen any priced like Sync and some are actually pretty damn good. I’m really enjoying Voyager for example.
I totally understand you need to make a living, but this isn’t Reddit. And I’d rather put some of my money towards supporting the instances I use, rather than just in the app I use to access them.
I’m sure you’re gonna do fine. You’ve got a great app and plenty of support. Just wanted to provide some honest feedback.
Damn, are there no decent Lemmy apps for android or something? On iOS Memmy is amazing and free with all the features.
I agree on Aussie pricing, it’s way too high considering our current cost of living. $10 maybe but most people won’t pay $25 as they just don’t have that cash spare.
Honestly, there are actually some great apps on Android that are feature rich and I think all the others I know about are free too. I’m using Voyager and really liking it. Which is why I can’t spend $25 on Sync. It’s just way too much and despite having a great UI, is missing features like being able to submit a post.
Edit: To be clear, Sync is free with ads. Other apps I’ve tried are free and ad free.
Just added submit today.
I was so ready to drop $10-15 AUD without a thought, but at $25, I’m sticking with Connect.
I’m sure you’re gonna do fine. You’ve got a great app and plenty of support. Just wanted to provided some honest feedback.
Just don’t buy it then? 🤷 Simple as that :)
The developer posted this and asked to let him know how it looked. Hence, I provided some feedback.
He asked for feedback about regional pricing, this is feedback about regional pricing.
You have an issue with helping the dev?
I believe the point he is making is the app is quite expensive even after adjustments. Compared indie games you are 33% more expensive than Hollow Knight. Only for ad removal.
It’s skewed in a lot of our eyes.
$26.25 in Canada. Fuck me I guess. Almost pulled the trigger at $20, now I won’t be.
I actually lowered the price in Canada. Wasn’t ever $20 CAD
As a Canadian who bought Sync Ultra lifetime at full price before the price drop, I’m not even mad. You deserve every penny.
I’d double check on the Canadian pricing mine came out to $28.34 on day one.
I can afford that, and was going to be all in anyways, but out of pocket needs to drop below twenty bucks Canadian.
It’s showing me $28.74 to remove ads in Canada right now (maybe more than the 26.25 mentioned due to tax % difference)
Either I hallucinated or it glitched but I’m pretty sure it showed up closer to $20CAD before I decided to buy it and it was closer to $30CAD.
It was above 25 for me on Day one of release.
Ok well no… Just took this.
Check the taxes. I don’t set those!
It literally says in the bottom of the screenshot that the taxes come to $1.25.
Sorry not sure what point we’re making here. It’s $24.99 CAD base price.
Are we reading the same comment chain?
I said it wasn’t $20 CAD, your screenshot confirms?
$27.99 for me in Canada price includes $3 tax
I’m sorry but what? You actually raised the price for us in Denmark?
Old cost was 20 USD, and now you’re marking it at 25 USD.
Old price: $20 - 136 kr.
New price: 175 kr. - $25.77
Nope? Old cost was 175dkk and now it’s 159.99dkk.
I’m also feeling a price raise in DK. At least I’d rather pay 20usd than 159dkk.
It doesn’t matter, but just FYI. And I didn’t check the previous price in the app.
Thank you LJ, I purchased instantly. I really appreciate your work and understand this app is your livelihood but the original asking price was a number I wouldn’t be comfortable spending, even deep inside knowing I would be getting my money’s worth. Perhaps in installments would be fine, but yeah
Would you consider a discount code for those who purchased Ultra in Sync for Reddit?
The price updated in Indonesia. New price is more reasonable now.
Brazil feedback:
-
Ultra lifetime, BRL $149.99 - Updated.
-
Ultra yearly, BRL $79.99 - Same as before.
-
Ultra monthly, BRL $9.49 - Same as before.
-
Ad removal, BRL $97.99 - Same as before.
Don’t know if it’s only the lifetime that was adjusted thought.
Keep up the amazing work LJ, the price adjust is just amazing, thanks for doing it. It was a little on the higher end here. Now it’s fairly priced. Really appreciate it.
Ad removal should have been BRL $38.99, just adjusted this now. Looking to automate this process too so we don’t have these issues again.
Thanks a bunch Lj, just bought it!

Still a bit expensive for Brazil but way more reasonable
Mudou aí pra tirar os ads? Só o ultra atualizou aqui
Não vi o dos ads, só o ultra
Bought it! A lot more reasonable and affordable with regional pricing enabled.
The price is much better, I just bought the app. Thanks!
I’m running the poor man’s version but I haven’t noticed any ads. I’m I just missing them or are they coming later
I think some views like List don’t have the ads.
Ditto, but I see blank “posts” here and there saying Supported content or something such.
Yea havent seen anymyself. I have a adblock on my basic browser but it shouldnt really affect the app.
currently priced at $7 USD in my country which is really cheap!! expect a payment from me by the end of the month. Great job on the app!! really fluid and makes the whole lemmy experience amazing!! Thank you for your efforts man!
Honestly that sounds a lot more reasonable a price than what I have been seeing ITT
Thanks, just bought the ads removal
The price for removing ads in this version of sync is like 300% more expensive than it cost to remove them on reddit. I’m in Sweden.
Yeah our prices in Sweden aren’t close to what they need to be. Even if prices for lifetime Ultra were halved I would feel ripped off. Let’s see what the other apps bring before we make a purchase.
