Whether or not the pricing itself is reasonable, the way Reddit is handling this entire thing is not. A company communicating in the way that Reddit is communicating while asking for a large sum of money is completely unacceptable. Just as a few of examples of their conduct: 1. They have claimed that Apollo's prices are so high because Apollo is inefficient and when asked to explain exactly what inefficiencies they are seeing, they made the following condescending and unhelpful reply (which has since been edited 7 days later but still contributed to people being upset) [1]: > Having developers ask this question of themselves is the main point of having a cost associated with access in the first place. How might your app be more efficient? Google & Amazon don’t tell us how to be more efficient. It’s up to us as users of these services to optimize our usage to meet our budget. 2. They have a rate limit of 60 queries per minute per user per client, they have tried to claim that the top app exceeds this rate limit by 438675% averaged over an entire month by ignoring the per user part of that rate limit [2]. They have used this flawed number to try and make third-party clients look bad. 3. They claimed that the Apollo developer attempted to blackmail Reddit during a conference call (Context: [3]): > Apollo threatened us, said they’ll “make it easy” if Reddit gave them $10 million. This guy behind the scenes is coercing us. He's threatening us.
