It is still based on usage so you don't need to cough up 10 mil for starters. You ONLY need something like 10$ a month per user. Can't recall the exact numbers anymore but the point remains.

The Apollo dev said $2.50 a month per user. Not that bad really if reddit had given developers enough time to change their apps and the sign-up process. He got screwed by already having an existing Premium that people had pre-paid too.

It's $2-3/month, but that's assuming all your existing users convert to paid subscriptions.

The issue devs had was that it was going to mostly be the heaviest users who would be willing to pay for a subscription. The people who spend many hours per day using the app and rack up $20/month in API charges.
