Reddit API pricing. Read, write, all of it.

Redditapis uses pay-per-call pricing across four tiers: $0.002 for GET reads, $0.005 for votes, $0.012 for writes like comments and profile updates, and $0.025 for DMs. No subscriptions, no minimum spend, no platform-tier caps. New accounts get $0.50 in free credits at signup.

Per Reddit's 2023 pricing announcement, the official Reddit Data API set a $12,000-per-year minimum at the Commercial tier plus roughly $0.24 per 1,000 calls. Redditapis starts at $2 per 1,000 reads with no minimum spend and no app-review queue, so you skip the annual commitment and pay only for what you use. It also covers write and DM endpoints that Reddit's official tier does not expose.

Partly. Reddit's own free tier is capped at about 100 queries per minute and gates commercial use behind app approval. Redditapis gives every new account $0.50 in free credits at signup, no credit card. At $0.002 per read that covers up to 250 calls, enough to test every endpoint before you spend anything.

No. Redditapis is pure pay-per-call. Top up credits when you want, the smallest pack is $10, and credits never expire, so a single top-up can last across years of low-volume usage. No monthly fees, no auto-renewal, no minimum monthly spend, and no platform-level rate-limit caps to plan around.

Write endpoints cost more to serve than reads because they need authenticated sessions, captcha solving, and residential proxies. Votes are $0.005, comments and profile writes are $0.012, and DMs are $0.025. Reads stay at $0.002 because that's where most high-volume data workloads sit.

Yes. Every new account gets $0.50 in free credits at signup with no credit card and no trial clock. At $0.002 per read that is up to 250 calls you can spend whenever you want. There is no separate paid plan to unlock; the same per-call pricing applies once the free credits run out.

Per call. There is no monthly subscription and no auto-renewal. You top up a credit balance ($10 minimum), each request draws down the per-call rate for that endpoint, and credits never expire. That makes your bill a direct function of usage rather than a fixed seat or platform fee.

No. Reddit's official Data API gates commercial and higher-volume use behind an app-review and approval process. Redditapis needs no Reddit app registration, no OAuth client approval, and no use-case review. You sign up, grab an API key, and call read, write, and DM endpoints the same day.

For most read workloads, flat per-call pricing is the cheapest path: Redditapis reads are $0.002 each, or $2 per 1,000 calls, with no minimum spend and no annual contract. Run your own numbers on the cost calculator, or see how it stacks up on the alternatives page before you commit.
