Billing & Plans
Pricing is usage-based and tiered by request volume and throughput, not charged per RPC method. A heavy call and a light one count the same toward your quota. This avoids the surprise bills per-method compute-unit pricing produces elsewhere in this category.
Monthly pricing
| Tier | Monthly price | Requests/day | Requests/month | Requests/sec |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 20,000 | 600,000 | 40 |
| Build | $29+ | 60,000 | 1.5 million | 60 |
| Basic | $79+ | 500,000 | 15 million | 160 |
| Advanced | $169+ | 1,600,000 | 50 million | 220 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | Custom | Custom |
Annual and longer-term billing
Build, Basic, and Advanced all carry a discount over the standard monthly rate on longer terms. The Free tier carries no term commitment. Enterprise pricing gets quoted directly, not pulled from a published discount schedule. See Pricing for current rates, or talk to us to compare a longer-term commitment against your expected volume.
What each tier is for
The Free tier suits proof-of-concept work. Evaluate whether Instanodes fits your stack before you spend anything. Build suits early-stage projects moving past the prototype phase. Basic suits applications with real, growing production traffic. Advanced targets production workloads needing headroom before the next infrastructure conversation. Anything beyond Advanced, including Dedicated Clusters, Validator Nodes, Rollup as a Service, and Appchain, gets quoted directly. Those engagements get scoped to your specific architecture, not sold off a fixed table.
Enterprise quoting
Enterprise customers negotiate throughput, dedicated node capacity, and SLA terms directly with the Instanodes team, instead of selecting from the tiers above. Product lines not fitting a per-request pricing model, including Validator Nodes, Dedicated Clusters, Appchain, and Enterprise Blockchain, get scoped and priced here too. Their cost structure depends on the specific chains, throughput, and compliance requirements involved. Talk to us to start a quote.
