I used Sync Pro for years but I've found the connect app to be pretty close.

So yeah I'd probably have used sync for lemmy if it was priced similarly to the Reddit one but I've no interest in paying 10 times more to remove ads or any type of subscription.

The prices are super harsh. >€20 just to remove ads. €19/year for the subscription.

I get that they have much less potential users to spread their costs on, but that's too much for the added benefit over e.g. connect.

Subscription for sync ultra. Extra features. To remove ads one time payment is coming afaik. And currently I don't see a single ad with dns ad blocker. Not even the ad space.

That €20 is for remove ads. Update the app and check the sidebar

I got enough use out of Sync for Reddit that I figure I owe the guy $20.

Not a fan of the lifetime price for Ultra, but it is what it is.
