Reddit closed new Data API requests on 31 Oct 2026, retires RSS on 13 Nov 2026 and closes the public Data API to unregistered apps on 12 Jan 2027. If you are choosing what to read Reddit through next, these are the options we could verify, with figures from each vendor's own pages read on 7 Nov 2026. Products whose prices we could not confirm are left out rather than guessed.
The short version
APIs and scrapers that bill per call or per result cost roughly $0.50 to $5 per 1,000 calls, and most return one page of a listing at the moment you ask. Monitoring tools bill by keyword or mention cap and alert you, but rarely hand you the data. Free archives are research projects with no uptime promise. Redlisten sits between them: an API priced by plan, with posts and comments collected as they are posted, 30 days searchable, and keyword streams that deliver matches to Slack, Discord, webhooks or email.

How to read the table
Vendors count different things. A request may return one item or a thousand, a credit may cost one or twenty five, and a record may be a post or a post with its comments. Each vendor page above restates their unit and what one call returns where they publish it, so you can compare like with like for your own workload. If a figure here is out of date, email support@redlisten.com and we will correct it.
Choosing
If you need to post, vote or message from an account, choose a tool built for writes and accept the account risk. If you want a dashboard and email alerts with nothing to build, a monitoring tool fits. If you want years of history for research, an archive fits. If you are building a product, a monitor or an AI agent on live Reddit data, start with a free Redlisten key and the docs.
