API Suite Pricing FAQ

How can I get started?

You can get started immediately with a free API key by creating an account on the Blockdaemon app. Log into Blockdaemon app to access our range of API products and purchase the plan that best suits your needs.

Which tier is right for me?

Free: Ideal for testing. Get started with a free key to trial our products across all protocols before you sign up for a paid plan.
Starter: Ideal for blockchain enthusiasts, the Starter plan offers up to 65 million compute units per month, supporting up to 100 requests per second. It includes weekday 8/5 support. You can choose from our indexed data Experience or buy individual products and create your own custom bundle.
Growth: Designed for scaling teams, this plan boosts your capacity to 365 million compute units monthly and doubles the request rate to 200 per second. It comes with 24/7 weekday support and an identical key allocation as the Starter tier. You can choose from our indexed data Experience or buy individual products and create your own custom bundle.
Enterprise: For institutions demanding the highest level of service, the Enterprise option provides custom usage and pricing. It extends over 400 million compute units, over 400 requests per second, round-the-clock dedicated support every day, and an institutional-grade Service Level Agreement. Our Enterprise Tier enables you to enjoy the full benefits of the entire API suite with no product restrictions.

What if I exceed my plan limit?

The paid plans allow you the ability to auto-scale. If you exceed your plan limit, you can continue accessing the API on your current plan if you have auto-scaling turned on at a pre-defined unit rate per tier.

Can I upgrade or downgrade / switch plans at any time?

Yes. If you are on a Starter or Growth plan, you can upgrade your subscription by adding a product or more compute units by editing your current plan.

When do I get billed?

You will get billed on the 1st of every month. Your subscription will auto-renew until you cancel it. If you signed up for a subscription or upgraded your subscription mid-month, you will be billed a pro-rated charge at Checkout for the new configuration for the remaining days in the current billing cycle.
