We’re introducing the new Chainstack Business plan — rebuilt for DeFi teams, high-traffic dApps, and any project that has outgrown entry-level infrastructure. At $499/month, it brings 200M request units, 600 RPS, SSO, role-based access, and 20 nodes — everything a scaling team needs without the complexity of a custom enterprise contract.
If you’re running production workloads, managing a growing team, or simply tired of watching your request quota — here’s everything that’s included and why it matters.
What’s included
200M request units per month
The centerpiece of the Business plan is 200M included request units per month — a significant step up from the 80M on the Pro plan.
More included requests mean more predictable infrastructure costs. Instead of constantly monitoring usage and worrying about overage charges, you get a large, reliable quota that covers the demands of production workloads. Whether you’re querying blockchain data, serving end users in real time, or running automated pipelines, 200M Request units gives you the headroom to build without second-guessing your infrastructure.
For context, 200M Chainstack Request units is equivalent to approximately 5B Alchemy Compute Units or 4B Quicknode API Credits — making the Business plan one of the most competitive options in Web3 infrastructure at this scale.
And if you go over? Extra usage on the Business plan costs $10 per 1M Request units — significantly lower than on lower-tier plans.
600 requests per second throughput
The Business plan supports 600 RPS — up from 400 RPS on Pro. Whether you’re running a trading bot, a real-time dashboard, or a high-frequency dApp, 600 RPS keeps your application performing under load without throttling or surprises.
20 nodes
With 20 nodes included, you have the flexibility to spread your infrastructure across multiple blockchains, environments, or use cases — all within a single plan.
Need dedicated nodes for mainnet and testnet? Multiple chains? Separate environments for different products? Twenty nodes gives you room to architect your setup the right way, without compromising where it doesn’t make sense.
The Business plan also includes access to Dedicated Nodes — fully isolated infrastructure with guaranteed performance and uptime, ideal for production-grade applications that need complete control over configuration, network access, and data privacy.
Role-based access and unlimited users
As your team grows, so does the need for proper access control. The Business plan includes multi-user role-based access, letting you assign permissions based on what each team member actually needs to do.
Developers get what they need to build. Admins manage infrastructure. Analysts access data. Everyone works within their scope — reducing risk and keeping your environment clean and auditable.
There’s no cap on users either. The Business plan supports unlimited users, so you’re never forced to choose who gets access as your team scales.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Authenticate your entire team through your existing identity provider with Single Sign-On. Less friction, better security, and one less set of credentials to manage — SSO is exclusive to the Business plan and above.
Archive data access
Need to query historical blockchain state beyond the latest 128 blocks? The Business plan includes archive data access across all supported protocols.
Archive node requests count at 2 Request units per request, giving you the flexibility to mix regular and archive queries within your monthly quota.
Global Node and WebSockets
The Business plan includes access to Chainstack’s Global Node — geo-balanced, ultra-reliable RPC API infrastructure designed for unbounded performance. Requests are automatically routed to the nearest available endpoint, keeping latency low regardless of where your users are.
WebSockets support is also included, enabling persistent, real-time connections for applications that need to stream on-chain events without constant polling.
Platform API and automation
The Business plan unlocks the Chainstack Platform API, giving you programmatic control over your infrastructure. Automate node provisioning, manage projects, monitor usage — all through a clean API rather than clicking through a dashboard.
Marketplace apps and add-ons
The Business plan includes access to the Chainstack Marketplace, where you can extend your infrastructure with ready-made add-ons — including Unlimited Node, a flat-fee RPS-tiered endpoint for nonstop performance with unlimited API calls.
Chainstack Business is the top choice for EVM projects
For EVM-based projects, the numbers speak for themselves. Running a realistic EVM trading workload — contract calls, transaction lookups, block queries, event indexing — here’s what the same usage costs across providers:
- Chainstack Business: $499/month — $0 extra. Save 66%.
- QuickNode Business: $1,294/month — 2.6x more expensive.
- Alchemy Pay-As-You-Go: $1,447/month — 2.9x more expensive.
The difference comes down to multipliers. QuickNode and Alchemy apply 20–60x per-method multipliers that inflate costs unpredictably. Chainstack charges 1 Request unit per request, period.
Chainstack Business is the top pick for Solana devs
For Solana developers, the savings are even more dramatic. Running a realistic Solana DeFi load — 80M getAccountInfo, 40M getProgramAccounts, 30M getTokenAccountsByOwner, 25M getTransaction, 15M getBalance, 10M getSignatureStatuses — here’s what the same 200M requests costs across providers:
- Chainstack Business: $499/month — $0 extra. Save 88%.
- QuickNode Business: $3,999/month — 8x more expensive.
- Alchemy Pay-As-You-Go: $1,449/month — 2.9x more expensive.
Solana methods on QuickNode carry 40x multipliers. On Chainstack, it’s always 1 Request unit per request.
Who is this plan for?
The Business plan is built around real use cases — here’s who it’s a natural fit for:
- DeFi protocols and trading platforms that need high throughput and zero downtime. When your users are executing trades in real time, 600 RPS and 200M included requests mean your infrastructure never becomes the bottleneck. Peanut Trade runs market making at scale on Chainstack — exactly the kind of latency-sensitive, high-frequency workload the Business plan is built for.
- Growing engineering teams that need access control. As your team scales, you can’t have everyone sharing the same credentials. Role-based access and SSO let you manage who can do what — without friction.
- Multi-chain projects running across several networks or environments. With 20 nodes included, you can cover mainnet, testnet, and multiple chains without consolidating where it doesn’t make sense. Whale Alert monitors large transactions across multiple blockchains simultaneously — 20 nodes gives exactly the kind of multi-chain coverage that makes this possible.
- Analytics and data-heavy applications that require archive data. If you need to query historical state beyond the latest 128 blocks, archive access is included — no separate plan required. CertiK slashed their Ethereum archive costs significantly by switching to Chainstack — a perfect example of how included archive access changes the economics for data-heavy teams.
