I understand. I was using liftoff and that was pretty good for me (still have it as a backup). I also tried jebora and connect. Sync is definitely the most polished, even in beta. I'm not going to remove ads until I know I want to stick with sync, but it definitely feels like I'm headed that way.
I guess the reason I was confused is because typically there is no one time removal and everything is just a subscription. I appreciate that, at least for removing ads. The features in ultra are interesting but not worth it right now.
Ultra sounds interesting for sure, but I'm not sure it's worth it. I might try 1 month later on. I think it's just because lemmy is smaller than reddit (for now :)) which makes these features less used, at least in the short term. Who knows, maybe in a couple years, it will be a no brainer.
It's unfortunate that the price is up, but it's better than spending for a subscription for ad removal.
That's great that it's a one time removal of ads. I guess it kind of confused me that there were two separate options for removing ads, but I'm grateful.
What's the difference between "Remove ads" and "Sync Ultra"?
I'm loving Sync so far. I used the official reddit app ever since I was on Reddit. I sure was missing out.
I saw on the left bar there's two options "Remove ads" and "Sync Ultra". What's the difference? I understand ultra is a subscription that gets ad free browsing and more. However, remove ads looks to be a single purchase "add-on", i.e. no subscription. Is that the case? That would be nice down the line when sync for lemmy gets an official stable release.
There's also a price difference. Ultra is 1.99$/mo or 16.99$/yr, and remove ads is 12.99$.
