Just want to say thank you to Connect dev Kuro for making Connect for Lemmy. Amidst all this hype for Sync and Boost, Connect remains ad- and subscription-free without compromising quality. This app is bomb and I won't be veering off to competitors anytime soon. Bonus points for being Canadian too! 🍁 Thank you!

$20 starts putting it in the category of productivity apps like Lumafusion which is $20 on sale which is a pretty solid video editor on iOS. Or Procreate at $13 for a really good drawing app iPadOS. So when looking at Android it is definitely an outlier in price for a social media app. And those apps mentioned are one time purchases and straight up paid apps, so there's no ad integration built into the app that needs to be disabled to begin with which makes it feel premium from the get go.

Most expensive app I spent money on was SeriesGuide X Unlock key which is $24.99 to I think get notifications. SeriesGuide as a base though has no ads and is open source, and feature rich even without the Unlock key. So that I felt better about supporting, since it wasn't to remove ads and I liked their approach better.
