The real TL;DR

Most third party apps are pay, somewhere around 1 to 3 bucks per month.

A couple are still in free because they're negotiations with Reddit

At least one is free because it's delivering the web version of the site with minor changes.

At least one of the apps that was paid before is now slightly more profitable as the playing field is leveled.
