I think that in an already niche market, it is hard for the average consumer to even further differentiate them into their own niches.

Plus, they’re in the same market. I can’t see someone owning both because they have completely different use cases. If you buy one of them you basically already can do most of what the other one can.

It’s kinda like comparing a Honda Civic to a Ferrari. Yeah they are different, but they are still cars and have a lot in common.

Lmao wow so defensive. Haven’t seen this type of behaviour since I left reddit

My best guess would be the development cost. I guess they created the app as a business, not for/by the community.

I don’t blame them, but I also won’t support them. I’ll just keep supporting lemmy/jerboa instead. I don’t have absolutely anything against sync, but I generally don’t like supporting that business model and trust open source a little more.

I didn’t know sync was that expensive though lol

I wasn’t aware of this! Thanks for putting this on my radar

I’ve never used Sync before, but something worth noting is that it isn’t open source, and there are ads and in app purchases according to the google store page
