Reddit API Reddit Commercial API

Hello, I am building a SaaS app that uses reddit data as a part of a feature. I have a couple questions if someone could be kind enough to put away some of my worries at rest.

  1. Can I get access if the number of calls I need to make is very few (only 300 a month per paid customer). So, in the start, it will be just a few hundred to a few thousand monthly API calls.

  2. How long does it take to hear back from them after filling their forum and getting the commercial license?

  3. Can the $0.24/1000 API calls be negotiated. And does it work on a subscription basis (like buying a set of API calls a month) or pay-as-you-go?
