Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Chainstack a strong Quicknode alternative?

Chainstack offers the same quick, single-line access you expect from the Quicknode API, yet swaps the credit system for transparent plans with flat-rate options. That means no surprise overages as your traffic grows, plus global load-balanced SOC2-certified infrastructure and 99.99%+ uptime backed by SLA.

How is Chainstack’s pricing different from Quicknode pricing?

Quicknode bundles requests into monthly “credits,” so any traffic spike can trigger extra fees. Chainstack bills on straightforward usage tiers with clear request caps and no hidden multipliers, letting you predict costs months in advance and budget with confidence.

Can Chainstack handle higher throughput than the Quicknode API credit tiers?

Absolutely. Every Chainstack node sits behind auto-scaling traffic managers that absorb bursts without throttling. Because we don’t meter by credit weight, you get consistent response times even during trading bot activity, requesting archive data, or wallet balance sync jobs that would quickly drain Quicknode credits.

How long does it take to migrate from Quicknode to Chainstack?

Most teams complete the switch in under 10 minutes:

Sign up and create a project.
Deploy the target network node (global, trader, or dedicated).
Copy the new endpoint URL into your application or gateway.
