Xxxxx(redacted as per community rule) was $4.92 CAD to remove ads while Sync is $27.99. For the record I think Sync is the better app but like maybe 4-5 dollars better not nearly 600% better.
The Boost dev also didn’t abandon their app\platform for months during its infancy where it certainly needed the attention then comes back and drop more ads in the app.
This is my last month of Sync Ultra sub. It’s only a few bucks a month and Sync is relatively polished but I rather the money go towards a actively developed app.
This is the official answer :
Personally speaking I don’t think it’s suppose impact prices much. In fact they were so concerned about it they started adding in exemptions almost right afterwards.
In itself there is a lot of Canadian wealth tied to housing so unless there’s some magical situation where affordability happens in a vacuum people will fight hard to against any policy that hits their wallets. My proof for this is that in 2021 when we had a election 80% of people decided that having the two parties that brought us through decades of housing costs going up was who they wanted to run the country.

I didn’t down vote you but to share the sentiment of why you’re getting down voted. While you make one of the best apps on the platform your pricing and availability is one of the worst.
Your time would be better spent improving those aspects your business. If you just want to be a niche high priced app that caters to people obscure feature requests and have erratic development cycles you should at least be transparent about it.
