Third-party app Apollo shutting down due to Reddit’s new API pricing

Reddit’s most popular third-party app, Apollo, will be shutting down due to the company’s new API pricing, which will make the app significantly more expensive to run, said developer Christian Selig.

The app will shut down on June 30, he added.

“Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue,” Selig wrote on Twitter.

Selig went into more detail in a lengthy Reddit post. He reiterated that, based on Reddit’s current API pricing plans, he would have to pay more than $20 million per year to operate the app.
