Of course. But they should make their money in other ways. A note taking app that I can't sync across multiple devices is useless. And you can't try the full version with sync to see if it would work. All I'm saying is they're leaving a lot of money on the table. I hear syncthing is good for this, but obviously it's messier on iOS. I just know that $8/mo for sync is too much. You can get Office 365, or Google Drive/Dropbox with a TON of space for that price, and that space is usable by lots of different things.

The $8/month seems completely fair IMO. really good sync is hard to pull off. I ran my own hodgepodge sync service for over a decade out of a home server for exactly these kinds of notes, and it’s really easy for issues/conflicts/general jankiness to crop up. Plus you constantly run into issues with compatibility between the sync app(s) and the Mac/PC/iOS apps you use to edit the files. Nothing prevents me from running that exact same setup for Obsidian for free. But I’d much rather pay $8/month and not have to deal with server backups and maintenance, compatibility, or all of the other issues.
