Ankr vs dRPC — Solana
The monthly cost is $99 with no quota and an overage rate of $0.5 per 1M, favoring low-volume heavy queries due to the absence of a quota. Latency assessment: 35ms p50 — meets the sub-50ms bar for latency-sensitive bots, and the supported-chain list covers common deployment targets including Ethereum and Polygon.
This tier is ideal for a production DApp requiring <1M eth_call requests per day with dedicated support for multiple EVM chains.
The monthly cost is $149 for a quota of 2,000,000,000 compute units per month, with an overage rate of $0.35 per 1M; this billing model favors high-volume uniform calls over low-volume heavy queries, and the inclusion of archive data access saves on historical eth_getStorageAt / trace_block / debug_traceTransaction queries. Latency assessment: 32ms p50 — meets the sub-50ms bar for latency-sensitive bots, and the supported-chain list covers common deployment targets including Ethereum and Solana.
This tier fits a high-frequency bot workload with a request pattern utilizing eth_call and eth_getLogs, requiring >100M req/day from a small team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is faster: Ankr or dRPC for Solana requests?
Ankr has 35ms p50 RPC latency vs dRPC's 32ms. dRPC is faster by 3ms — a meaningful difference for MEV bots and real-time DApps with sub-100ms requirements.
How much does Ankr vs dRPC cost per month?
Ankr Business costs $99/month. dRPC Pro costs $149/month. Cost-effectiveness depends on your request volume — check each provider's overage rates for workloads exceeding the base quota.
Does Ankr or dRPC support archive data?
Ankr includes archive data access. dRPC includes archive data access. Archive access is required for historical state queries (eth_getStorageAt, trace_block) beyond the last 128 blocks.
Which chains do Ankr and dRPC both support?
Both providers support: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Linea, Avalanche, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Sui. Ankr additionally supports Fantom, Monad, Sei. dRPC additionally supports no exclusive chains.
