Enterprise Blockchain API Needs? Crypto APIs Has a Plan for That

Enterprise Blockchain API Needs? Crypto APIs Has a Plan for That

When you’re leading engineering at a fast-moving crypto startup - or running core infrastructure for a global fintech - the difference between “moving fast” and “moving safely” often comes down to your API layer. Crypto APIs delivers both: a plug-and-play suite that wraps 120-plus unified endpoints, 30-plus production-grade blockchains, and enterprise-grade SLAs into pricing plans that start at free and scale to bespoke, unlimited-throughput agreements.

1. Crypto APIs Suite – Complete Product Line-Up

2. Plans & Pricing – Credits, Throughput, and SLAs

*Annual billing trims ~18-20 % from every paid tier.
 

Soft vs. Hard Throughput & Pay-As-You-Go

• Soft limit – the “all-inclusive” requests-per-second built into each plan’s credits. Up to this point you pay the base blockchain data API pricing.
   
• Pay As You Go – exceed the soft TPS or your monthly credits and keep serving traffic. Every over-limit request is billed at your plan’s cost-multiplier (e.g. × 2.1 on Starter) so your Bitcoin & blockchain APIs stay online. 
   
• Hard throughput limit –  if total credits spent in any one second exceed the plan’s hard ceiling (e.g. 6 000 → Starter, 12 000 → Scale), the API returns HTTP 429. No new calls are accepted for the rest of that second, then normal PAYG rules resume.

3. One Subscription, 30 + Blockchains & 100 + Unified APIs

Crypto APIs natively supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Tron, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain and XRP Ledger — plus dozens more mainnets and testnets. All chains share the same request/response schema, so adding a new network is literally a config change. Competitive platforms charge per-chain or per-node; with Crypto APIs you pay once and unlock the entire matrix—saving teams thousands in node hosting, indexer maintenance and multi-vendor contracts.

4. Enterprise & Custom Plans—Built Around Your Roadmap

If your project is already pushing significant volume, the Pro tier is the natural on-ramp. It bundles 7.5 billion monthly credits, a 12 000 requests-per-second soft limit, and a 24 000 rps hard limit, plus 24-hour dedicated support—ample headroom for institution-grade exchanges or high-frequency DeFi strategies without committing to a multi-year contract.

For organisations that expect even higher concurrency, require geographic data residency, or need private RPC clusters, Crypto APIs offers an Enterprise option that removes the ceiling altogether: credits become unlimited, throughput caps are negotiated, and 24 × 7 support is underwritten by a 99.9 % SLA. Pricing is customised during a short scoping call so you only pay for the blockchain APIs and regions you actually deploy.

Because the Enterprise framework is modular, teams often begin on Pro, run load tests, then switch to a tailor-made contract once real-world traffic patterns emerge. The switch is instantaneous—API keys and endpoints stay the same—so you avoid the “rip-and-replace” pain found with some competitors.

At the other end of the spectrum, small-to-mid-size studios can stick to the Starter plan. For US $49 per month (or **US $40 when billed annually) you receive 300 million credits and 3 000 rps soft throughput—more than enough for lightweight dApp back-ends, analytics dashboards, or hack-week prototypes across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron and other chains. And because every tier shares the same unified REST and JSON-RPC schemas, upgrading never forces a code rewrite—one of the key reasons developers call it the “best crypto API for developers.”

5. How Paid Plans Slash Total Cost of Ownership

Running your own infrastructure isn’t just about spinning up a node; it’s about funding it indefinitely. A single full Bitcoin node in AWS averages US $390–430 per month once you add storage and bandwidth, and that figure climbs past US $900 if you leave uploads unrestricted. An Ethereum archive node routinely tops US $1 000 per month in mainstream clouds, with validator setups demanding still more capital. In contrast, Crypto APIs’ Starter or Scale plans cover multiple high-availability nodes, indexing, and historical data pipelines for a fraction of that outlay—making the headline crypto API cost dramatically lower.

Vendor consolidation is another lever. Competitor platforms often price per blockchain or per dataset; for example, CoinAPI’s high-volume package costs US $599 per month for market data alone, with additional surcharges once you exceed daily caps. Crypto APIs, by comparison, folds 100 + unified blockchain APIs —from Bitcoin address look-ups to Solana event webhooks — into every paid tier, so your blockchain data API pricing scales predictably even as you add networks.

When traffic spikes, the built-in Pay As You Go model applies a transparent multiplier (2.1 × on Starter and up). Your endpoints keep serving requests, no manual top-ups needed, and you can review overage line-items in the next invoice instead of firefighting downtime.

Finally, paid plans buy you developer velocity. Every API — whether it’s a Bitcoin Broadcast Transactions API or an EVM Transaction Simulator API — shares a single authentication scheme and returns the same JSON structure, shaving weeks off integration timelines and freeing teams to focus on product, not plumbing. Factoring in the avoided DevOps headcount and the opportunity cost of delayed launches, Crypto APIs’ subscription often pays for itself before the first production sprint ends.

By mapping clear upgrade paths to real-world throughput, baking in a fair Pay-As-You-Go buffer, and bundling dozens of chains under one contract, Crypto APIs turns blockchain API pricing from a cost center into a predictable line item — letting CTOs allocate budget to features instead of servers.
