The whole pricing debate is so exhausting. Anybody who feels $20 is too steep for an app they might use for the next decade is welcome to their opinion, but they’ll never have the same perspective as those of us who enjoyed a decade of improvements to Sync for Reddit. LJ is a class act, Sync is leagues ahead of all other 3PAs, and I’m happy to pay my share.
There are so many FOSS & alternative options. LJ is dedicating his full attention to a niche platform and has set up a subscription model that allows this project to remain sustainable for him & his team (yes, team). Feel free to go with any other option, but let’s not pretend that Sync is the antichrist for being the first Lemmy 3PA developer that is prioritizing sustainability after a decade of supporting users who paid $2
Lemmy is still a niche and who knows what will happen in a decade
The Fediverse is still a pretty big experiment. The first thing I thought when I saw that Ultra lifetime price was if Lemmy would even still be as relevant as it is today (which isn’t that high of a bar, mind you) in 5.5 years—the amount of time it would take for the lifetime purchase to pay off as a better deal than the yearly subscription.
Not only that, but it truly is a front end for Lemmy; not the service itself. I get that the dev has bills to pay and I guess that this is their only hustle (?), but $100 is a bit of an unreasonable ask in my opinion. If I were rich, I’d buy it. But I’m not, so there you go.
Not that anyone should care, but personally I’m waiting to see what Boost does, as that was what I used back in Reddit.
Exactly my point :) This platform is unstable & the userbase isn’t dependable, especially so in the context of 3PA customers
How do you make this project viable/sustainable? Price it appropriately. I’ve already completed one decade with LJ & Sync, so I’m happy to bank on this app. And if it doesn’t, that’s the gamble - nobody is forced to agree, but it’d be odd for anyone to argue Sync should be priced in accordance with any expectation that the platform dies in the next year or so.
I rather pay an annual subscription of $7 CAD than a one time fee of $30 CAD. Why not keep the
spicemoney flowing in?Because the money doesn’t stop flowing out, with countless subscription services already, you gotta draw the line somewhere before finding yourself paying so much more for things you wouldn’t have, just because you lost oversight of your costs.
Having the option for a one-time payment settles this discussion, it’s fire and forget. Everybody have their choice now so why even bother trying to convince anyone.
