dRPC vs QuickNode — Ethereum
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 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which is faster: dRPC or QuickNode for Ethereum requests?
dRPC has 32ms p50 RPC latency vs QuickNode's 28ms. QuickNode is faster by 4ms — a meaningful difference for MEV bots and real-time DApps with sub-100ms requirements.
How much does dRPC vs QuickNode cost per month?
dRPC Pro costs $149/month. QuickNode Scale costs $299/month. Cost-effectiveness depends on your request volume — check each provider's overage rates for workloads exceeding the base quota.
Does dRPC or QuickNode support archive data?
dRPC includes archive data access. QuickNode 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 QuickNode both support?
Both providers support: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Linea, Avalanche, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Sui. dRPC additionally supports no exclusive chains. QuickNode additionally supports no exclusive chains.
