Do not inherit QuickNode's bill just because Google linked to it. Test Chainstack first and see what your workload actually costs.
QuickNode is the suggested path, not the only path. If RPC sits in your app, wallet, indexer, or trading workflow, compare before you switch.
Google will delete existing nodes and endpoints. Do not wait until the deadline turns provider selection into outage prevention.
From high-throughput shared RPC to Dedicated Nodes, Chainstack gives you the infrastructure to run apps, indexers, wallets, and trading systems.
Request units make RPC spend easy to forecast: 1 RU for full requests, 2 RUs for archive requests, and clear usage across 70+ chains.
For high-throughput workloads, check request units, Unlimited Node, and Dedicated Nodes before your next provider becomes the next bill.

We needed high-speed RPS and tested several providers, including QuickNode and Helius. Chainstack performed best, and the Growth plan made the switch an easy choice.
We fetch every block for every chain. QuickNode became too expensive. Chainstack was the better option, so we switched and never looked back.
I started on QuickNode legacy pricing at $50/month. After their pricing logic changed, the bill became $250/month, then I was pushed toward a $1,000/month plan. Chainstack pricing is much more sensible and transparent.
I hit QuickNode's $49/month plan in less than 24 hours running MEV backruns. Chainstack gave me a better path for high-volume strategies, so I moved the workload here.
A week after switching, I had used only 5% of my available usage. With QuickNode, I would have used around 15-20% by then. That headroom made Chainstack the better choice for indexing Bitcoin and Ethereum data.

Articles on pricing, endpoint migration, and the QuickNode path.
Compare pricing mechanics, request limits, and method weighting before you pick the next RPC provider.
Inventory old endpoints, map replacements, test requests, and switch traffic in the right order.
Review QuickNode performance, features, pricing tradeoffs, and how Chainstack compares.
Google says Blockchain Node Engine and Blockchain RPC will shut down on Dec 15, 2026. Existing nodes and endpoints are expected to be deleted on that date, so workloads that still depend on them need to move before then.
No. Google lists QuickNode as the recommended migration path, but you still choose the RPC provider for your production workloads. Use the shutdown window to compare providers, test endpoints, and pick the setup that fits your traffic, chains, and billing model.
A migration is a good moment to review more than endpoint compatibility. Compare node types, supported chains, request pricing, archive usage, WebSocket behavior, latency, error rates, and how easy it is to test before cutover.
Yes. Create Chainstack endpoints for the chains you use, run them in parallel with your current setup, compare real traffic, then move traffic in stages. This helps reduce cutover risk and makes rollback easier.
Yes, you can use the Chainstack migration guide to check migration steps.
For shared, load-balanced RPC access, compare Global Nodes. For exclusive resources and more control, compare Dedicated Nodes. For high-throughput request usage, also review request units, Unlimited Node, and your expected archive usage.
Chainstack uses request units for request-based services. Full requests use 1 RU, and archive requests use 2 RUs. That makes it easier to compare usage before you commit, especially if your workload is heavy on archive, indexing, or high-volume RPC calls.
