    In my experience you can have:

    1. Good app that is free with ads,
    2. Good app that is paid without ads,
    3. Shit to mediocre app that is free without ads.

    I’ve tried many alternatives, but so far the intuitiveness and beautiful UX of Sync stand apart from the competition for me. I respect FOSS apps, and even prefer them in some cases. But let’s not pretend that its the best approach for every developer, or that anyone who releases a non-FOSS app is automatically greedy or sketchy.

    You don’t need to pay for Sync if you can’t afford it either, though. A free version exists, the only noteworthy difference is that it shows ads. To your point, there are technically a few gated features behind the Ultra subscription, but these are niche inclusions that 99% of people probably wouldn’t use even if they were included for free. I think of them more as an added bonus for supporting the dev.
