The unfortunate underlying issue is the API pricing is by and large not sustainable. Even if a third-party application has not announced they cannot continue operations, the lack of announcement does not mean they plan to or continue. I can see the want of biding time and waiting in this circumstance, but ultimately I don't see any third-party application staying active in an above-board manner if the API pricing is launched as is.

Apollo, RIF, and Sync announcing they are shuttering adds additional pressure to the matter.
