I feel this is it but surely there are other apps following this model. I’m assuming they are probably the biggest but definitely not the only ones doing it. For good* ad-free software that is being actively developed and will get used probably every day for years, $100 seems more than fair to me. Beats paying a subscription indefinitely imo. I paid for the Plex lifetime pass for similar reasons and that was worth every penny.
*Good is subjective, just because you wouldn’t pay doesn’t mean others won’t.
I’m guessing mobile users who don’t pay for apps.
Why are people using the apps that have any ads? There are a million Lemmy apps out there at this point. Most are completely free and no ads
It’s mostly Sync users. Some of them seriously pay 110$ for Sync Ultra lifetime lmao.
Many of them used the old sync for years and just wanted to to contribute for that reason.
