    They would have to charge like $20 a month.

    The API costs for apollo are $5/user/month and that's assuming they have no other costs.

      well if the app is currently free, they currently don't have any other costs right?

      Just be clear to the users that it's $5 a month for Reddit, and then another $3 for their trouble of collecting it. See who bites.

        The app is currently paid with a free version. There is a flat rate version with basic functionality and a subscription with advanced functionality. A majority of the problem lies in converting those subscriptions which are normally $10 a year over to $120 a year. There's not real good way to do it since if you cancel everyone and have them resubscribe you lose a ton of users.

        Also it will involve them incurring an essentially unknown debt. There could easily be a glitch in the app that lets you spam API queries and cost the dev a ton of money. Just lots of unknowns.
