Here’s an example of how it works

Our method-agnostic pricing ensures you don’t pay an arm and a leg when you start sending Debug & Trace requests. Just sayin’.

Usage	# of method calls	Chainstack	Alchemy
Plan		Pro	PAYG
eth_getFilterChanges	40 million	40 million Requests Units	800 million Compute Units
eth_blockNumber	3.5 million	3.5 million Request Umits	35 million Compute Units
Eth_Call	20 million	20 million Request Units	520 million Compute Units
eth_getLogs	10 million	10 million Request Units	600 million Compute Units

Base Usage (included in plan)		80 million Request Units	0 million Compute Units
Overage (based on above example)		0 million Request Units	1.955 billion Compute Units
Subscription Plan Price		$199	$0
Overage Charges		$0 $12.5 / 1M RUs ≈ 25-30M CUs	$745 $0.4 / 1M CUs ≈ $13 / 1M Requests
You pay		$199	$745 🤯
