Chainstack vs dRPC — Solana
The monthly cost is $499 with no quota and an overage rate of $2.5 per 1M, indicating that this billing model favors low-volume heavy queries due to the absence of a quota. Latency assessment: 30ms p50 — fast enough for MEV bots and HFT (meets sub-50ms), and the supported-chain list covers common deployment targets including Ethereum and Solana.
This tier fits a production DApp with a request pattern of eth_call and eth_getLogs, a team scale of 5-10 developers, and a daily request volume of <1M req/day.
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: Chainstack or dRPC for Solana requests?
Chainstack has 30ms p50 RPC latency vs dRPC's 32ms. Chainstack is faster by 2ms — a meaningful difference for MEV bots and real-time DApps with sub-100ms requirements.
How much does Chainstack vs dRPC cost per month?
Chainstack Business costs $499/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 Chainstack or dRPC support archive data?
Chainstack 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 Chainstack and dRPC both support?
Both providers support: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Linea, Avalanche, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Sui. Chainstack additionally supports Monad. dRPC additionally supports no exclusive chains.
