Or don’t subscribe and wait until a lifetime option appears. I fucking hate subscriptions, every single company, tool, or software use it. No one can go one day without letting a customer actually own shit. It’s so god damn annoying.
I’m not sure what he plans to make it cost, but out of curiosity, what would you consider a reasonable lifetime cost given the current sub cost?
I’d say about 5 bucks to remove ads and trackers permanently aka the Pro version.
For the Ultra idk, probably in the ballpark of 40 to 60 bucks.
I agree with some things, I don’t do subscriptions most of the time but for something like this that is developed by one guy for his livelihood, I can understand his desire for some financial security. For most things I will just pirate it if it’s heavy handed about subscribing to their service, but if a couple dollars a month helps LJ continue to develop my favorite app I’m not complaining. It’s such a small amount of money anyway.
I’m not saying this to take away from your argument, I also see the validity in buying a license vs a subscription. I guess in my head I can make an exception for Sync, only because I’ve used it SO much over the years.
