We’re excited to announce some significant updates to our pricing plans! To better serve blockchain builders, we're rolling out new plans with more API credits, more product features, and more pricing options — underscored by unparalleled reliability and lightning-quick access to 24+ blockchains. The most generous infra plans in the industry just got even better! Did we mention our free plan that offers 50 million API credits?

As Quicknode continues to grow and evolve, we’re always listening to the varied needs of our community, from budding web3 builders to global enterprises. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the best tools and resources to leverage the power of the blockchain — and at the price that works for them!

Here’s what’s new:

• Across our current plans, we’ve ramped up API credits for each plan based on the needs of our customers. For example, we increased our plan to 3 Billion API credits for startups and businesses. That makes our Scale plan 2.6x better than competitors like Alchemy.

• We simplified our multipliers so it's easier for our customers to plan their usage with Quicknode. Instead of 100s of different multipliers across calls, most method calls fall within five buckets, so you will never be surprised with a bill again.

• We introduced a brand new Discover+ plan for $10/mo that supercharges our current Discover plan. It's best for builders and developers who need more API credits and two endpoints to launch their project.

• Crypto payments are now available for all Discover+, Build, Scale, and Enterprise users in the dev portal. Users can “top up” (prepay) account credits using the cryptocurrency of their choice.

• Expanded IPFS features for decentralized storage and data access needs — now available on the Discover+ plan.

• New QuickAlerts features are available on all plans to stay updated on key blockchain events.

New API credit calculations and multipliers at Quicknode

As Quicknode continues to expand and refine its offerings, we've taken a fresh look at our API credit calculations. This ensures transparency and clarity for our users as they interact with our platform.

Previous API Credit Calculations:

Our old system calculated API Credits based on a method's intensity on our platform. This calculation considered multiple complex factors such as compute, memory, disk, and network resources. For instance, the eth_getLogs method had an API Credit value of 8. Additionally, we had an Archive Method Multiplier that applied to calls made to the archive

New Simplified API Credits Multipliers and Logistics:

Our revamped system is designed to be more intuitive, straightforward, and user-friendly. Here's a breakdown:

Our decision to restructure the API credit calculations stems from our ongoing commitment to providing our users with the best, most seamless experience possible. The multipliers and costs are now arranged by platform and method type, making it easier for developers to calculate their costs and manage their API usage.
