Apollo, one of the most popular Reddit apps, will be shutting down on June 30th due to Reddit's new pricing for its API, which makes the app significantly more expensive to maintain. "Reddit's recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue," writes developer Christian Selig.

He goes on to explain the situation in a post on Reddit, stating that based on Reddit's upcoming API prices, he would need to pay over $20 million per year to run the app. He also writes that he wouldn't have time to implement the necessary changes for the new prices within 30 days, regardless.

Apollo is not the only Reddit app shutting down due to the company's new API pricing. On Thursday, rif is fun for Reddit (formerly Reddit is Fun), ReddPlanet, and Sync also announced that they will be shutting down on June 30th, the same day as Apollo.
