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$.

If you click on Sync Ultra in the left bar menu, it gives a list of everything currently included as well as a few features coming at a later time:

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.

I paid to remove ads immediately (which is also what I did with Sync for Reddit), but I'm also waiting to purchase Ultra to see if it gains any must-have features. The app is already great in its completely free version so anything else will just be cherries on top.
