      it is still in beta, you can’t charge someone 30 euros for something that might fail or stop

          sync for reddit price (there was a pro version too) as you can see the price is reasonable. Where did you find a 6x increase?

            You’re showing the price for sync ultra, he’s referring to the price for ad-free sync, which was like $2-3

          You are comparing the old simple “Remove Ads” option to Sync Ultra features.

          The new “Remove Ads” without additional features costs 14,99 €. Which, yes, is more expensive than before, but that was to be expected. The old price would have been way too cheap for today’s pricing situation, especially since he also lost most of his userbase.

              The price was set many years ago and just never changed.

              Also yes, less customers means less income for mostly the same amount of work. That is literally why bigger companies can offer cheaper prices. Scale.

                  That was in response to your comparison with t-shirts.

                  And yes, scaling does not work in the same way for app development. A large part of the required work for app development stays the same, regardless of how many actual users there are (excluding server costs (-> Sync Ultra) and probably the amount of support tickets). But since Sync has way less users now, there has to be more income per user for it to be profitable.
