A dedicated node provider runs a blockchain node that only your application uses, so nobody else’s traffic competes with yours for CPU, disk or bandwidth. You pay a flat monthly fee for that isolation instead of paying per request. It…
A flat-rate RPC plan charges a fixed monthly fee for a set amount of capacity, so the bill stays the same however many requests you send or which methods you call. It replaces the usual credit-based bill, where a heavy…
An Ethereum RPC provider is a service that gives your application access to the Ethereum blockchain through hosted nodes, so you can read data and send transactions without running your own infrastructure. NOWNodes, Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode, and Chainstack all offer…
What Is Infura? Infura is one of the oldest and most trusted names in blockchain infrastructure. Owned by Consensys and serving as the default backend for MetaMask, it’s the veteran Ethereum RPC provider that many dApps started on. In 2026…
NOWNodes, QuickNode, and Infura all solve the same starting problem — connecting an application to a blockchain without running a node yourself — but each one scopes and prices that access differently. NOWNodes covers 120+ networks, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, and…
NOWNodes, Alchemy, and Infura all solve the same starting problem — connecting an application to a blockchain without you running the node yourself — but they scope that job very differently. NOWNodes covers 120+ networks, including Bitcoin, Solana, and privacy…
Chainstack, GetBlock, and NOWNodes all solve the same starting problem: they give an application access to blockchain data without anyone on the team running and syncing a node. NOWNodes covers the broadest network list at 120+ chains, including Bitcoin-family and…
NOWNodes, Chainstack, and QuickNode all solve the same underlying problem — connecting an application to a blockchain without anyone on your team running the underlying node — but they price, scope, and target that access in three different ways. NOWNodes…
NOWNodes gives you API access to 120+ blockchain networks under one flat-rate account, while Chainstack and Alchemy solve the same basic problem in narrower, pricier ways. Chainstack leans on request-unit billing and a compliance layer built for regulated buyers; Alchemy…
