I’m generally not a cheap ass when it comes to apps I use a lot, but it’s kinda crazy compared to a full blown music production app like FL Studio Mobile that costs $15. If it were under $10 I doubt many would be complaining. Just my honest opinion.
A fair opinion. However, FL studio mobile has a lot larger potential customers to sell to, which mean they can afford to set their unit price pretty low. Right now it has 500,000 downloads. Compare that to sync for Lemmy. Monthly active users of Lemmy is only around 100,000 users, less than total download of FL studio. Out of those 100,000 users, only a handful of them willing to buy a Lemmy app, even at $3. So the dev have no choice to increase the unit price accordingly to cover their cost.
That being said, the devs said he’ll reduce the price as the number of active Lemmy users grow.
FL studio will always make the most of their money through the desktop version. FL can afford to make a little less money on their mobile app especially considering that it’s likely a gateway for a lot of people to purchase the full version. Sync is a bit different in that regard. There’s also much less of a market for lemmy readers.

I find the argument ridiculous. And it will not sit well with early adopter if the price gone down instead of up lol.
