dRPC vs Infura — Avalanche
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.
The monthly cost of $225 provides a quota of 5,000,000 requests per day with an overage rate of $2.5 per 1M, favoring high-volume uniform calls over low-volume heavy queries, while archive data access saves on historical eth_getStorageAt / trace_block / debug_traceTransaction queries. Latency assessment: 38ms 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 high-frequency bot requiring >1M req/day with a request pattern involving eth_call and eth_getLogs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is faster: dRPC or Infura for Avalanche requests?
dRPC has 32ms p50 RPC latency vs Infura's 38ms. dRPC is faster by 6ms — a meaningful difference for MEV bots and real-time DApps with sub-100ms requirements.
How much does dRPC vs Infura cost per month?
dRPC Pro costs $149/month. Infura Team costs $225/month. Cost-effectiveness depends on your request volume — check each provider's overage rates for workloads exceeding the base quota.
Does dRPC or Infura support archive data?
dRPC includes archive data access. Infura includes archive data access. Archive access is required for historical state queries (eth_getStorageAt, trace_block) beyond the last 128 blocks.
Which chains do dRPC and Infura both support?
Both providers support: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Linea, Avalanche, BNB Smart Chain. dRPC additionally supports Solana, Sui. Infura additionally supports Starknet.
