Relay for Reddit app stays as one of the few remaining third party apps for Reddit and they are forced to go to a subscription model but the cost of such a subscription is related to how many API calls per user are done.

    You do know you can pay one time if you just want to remove ads. You’re here suggesting the dev should just work on the app for free or something?

      Relay has a reason to charge a monthly fee, and sync does not.

        A developer wanting to get something in return for their work is a reason. It’s also an option for the user. Sync offers a one time payment for Ad Free and for their “Plus” features. It also has the option for a monthly subscription.
