It was something like $3.89 for the pro back in the days.

Sync Pro for Reddit cost $4.99 and had 100,000+ downloads. Total active Lemmy users is probably less than 100,000 users right now, and only a small fraction of them might consider buying a Lemmy app, so the price hike is understandable.

4.99 was when he raised the price. It was cheaper.

I understand the fact Lemmy has a smaller user basse. The new price is a bit too much. With a small user base, the competition is greater.

And at the beginning, it was like 1$. When you have the full history, it looks like another raise of the price.
