Sync is the odd man out because even though it’s free to use, it’s ad driven, and then there’s a yearly subscription service for no ads.
Honestly, it’s a good app with a good developer. If supporting good work is your thing, I see no reason to use it free or with subscription. It supports him, and if you don’t like it…you always have FOSS apps which arent as polished but completely free.
FOSS apps are important because they’ll always be the standard of “acceptable” and alternative apps MUST be better if they want you to give up your hard earned time and money for it.
I feel like i’m out of the loop. The heck is FOSS?
“Free Open Source Software”
I think.

Just take a look at Reddit.
There’s a one-time purchase to remove ads and a subscription for other stuff that also includes removing ada
And you can buy a lifetime version of the subscription, if you want a large one time payment.
That’s pricey.
I’m mostly worried about the tracking and deta selling.
Is the tracking turned off with the pro subscription?
The dev has stated before that there’s no tracking or data collection except crash analytics
Ok neat. Well then I’m pretty tempted…
