Pricing follows the tiers documented in the RedditAPI pricing page.

The Commercial tier does not expose DM endpoints. Pricing last verified May 2026.

Reddit API cost.

RedditAPI charges per call, not per month. Every endpoint falls into one of four tiers: any GET (reads, search, listings, comment trees) is $0.002 per call; votes are $0.005; writes like comments, login, and profile updates are $0.012; and DMs are $0.025. Multiply your expected monthly volume by the matching rate to estimate spend. The official Reddit Data API charges roughly $0.024 per call at the Commercial tier on top of a $12,000-per-year minimum, so RedditAPI typically lands 2.4–12× cheaper at the same volume.
