I have no idea what the actual cost incurred by Reddit is, but they're asking for $0.24 for 1,000 API calls. (basically fetching content)

Does anyone have a ballpark?

Ballpark: depends how you want to depreciate servers but under a penny.

They're not charging for cost; they're charging ad revenue replacement for users using apps. It's pretty clear in the way the Apollo costs would be about $2.50 per month, which isn't that far from the $7/mo for reddit premium.
