Is the subscription the only way to remove ads? - eviltoast

Is there a one time payment option to remove ads?

Or is sync ultra the only way to remove ads?

I would love to support sync, but the subscription fatigue is real.

    It will continue to be so weird for me to go from no ads to ads (or paying a subscription) just because you like the interface a bit more. All the free UIs already available seem perfectly usable and roughly equivalent in convenience.

      Yeah, if subscription is the only way to remove ads then I’m fine with the Foss options like liftoff. And I’m blocking ads system wide on my phone, so it’s not like I see any ads on Sync. But, I would still prefer to be able to pay to remove it, since I have moved away from using apps that have ads in favor of Foss or paying to for the ad free version over the years.

        Yep, I had my credit card out (figuratively) and was ready to buy the ad free version, just to support the dev - but I turned right around when I saw the price (AUD$34).

        I don’t see ads either, it was literally just about the support for me. I’m weighing up whether to go back to Connect on principle, and if Adguard stops working on Sync, I’ll definitely just walk away.

      Yeah. I don’t see a compelling reason to switch to Sync when there are so many other alternatives that are free and without ads. And then comes the subscription! Get outta here. I’m not even going to mention the data tracking. I’m sticking with my FOSS apps, thank you very much.
