Can’t stop, won’t stop…building and shipping!

The energy from a breakthrough Q2 has propelled us to achieve even more in Q3 2023. From remarkable new pricing plans to new chain support to new QuickAlerts features and much more — it’s been another productive quarter at Quicknode.

Let's dive in!

Introducing new plans and pricing!

Here’s what’s new:

• We’ve ramped up API credits for each plan based on the needs of our customers.

  For example, the Scale plan now offers 3 Billion API credits, outpacing competitors like Alchemy by 2.6x.

• 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 geared for developers needing extra API credits and two endpoints.

• Crypto payments are now available for all Discover+, Build, Scale, and Enterprise users in the dev portal.

• Expanded IPFS features for decentralized storage and data access needs.

• New QuickAlerts features are available on all plans.
