Chainstack vs QuickNode — Polygon
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 $299 for a quota of 500,000,000 API credits per month, with an overage rate of $1.5 per 1M; this billing model favors high-volume uniform calls rather than low-volume heavy queries, and the inclusion of archive data access saves on historical eth_getStorageAt / trace_block / debug_traceTransaction queries. Latency assessment: 28ms p50 — fast enough for MEV bots and HFT (meets sub-50ms), and the supported-chain list covers common deployment targets such as Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana.
This tier is ideal for a high-frequency bot requiring >100M req/day with a request pattern of eth_call and trace_block.
