Pro fits small production apps needing steady traffic: 1,000,000 requests/month, 3 API keys, WebSocket and market data access — €20/month (€18/month billed annually).

Pro Plus works for growing apps with occasional spikes — 10,000,000 requests/month plus pay-as-you-go overage (€5/100k requests) instead of a hard cap — €90/month (€81/month billed annually).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Depth and breadth of services from picking out of 40+ blockchains to deploying and running nodes for yourself or with others to reduce costs, or staking tokens to earn yields, the suite of products and services is great both for businesses and retail holders.

Cons

  • I hope that the dashboard to run nodes will be expanded with more analytics and functionalities.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • NOWNodes provides reliable blockchain infrastructure with a wide range of supported networks. The API is straightforward, the documentation is clear, and the integration process is smooth. Their support team is responsive, professional, and always helpful when resolving technical issues.
  • The team is very responsive. We asked about the ARC network and it was live shortly after. Setup was straightforward, and we get answers on a shared channel the same day.
  • We've been using NOWNodes for over three years at TeleSwap, a decentralized Bitcoin bridge that connects Bitcoin with other blockchains. We use their RPC services across multiple networks, including Bitcoin, Polygon, and BNB Smart Chain, and our experience has been great. The biggest thing for us is reliability. I honestly can't remember the last time we had an outage or any downtime with their service. When you're running a cross-chain bridge, having reliable RPC infrastructure is really important, and NOWNodes has been rock solid for us. It's one of those services that just works, and you don't have to worry about it.
  • NOWNodes gives the multi-chain cryptowallet I work in a reliable access to a broad range of blockchain networks without requiring our team to maintain every node internally. This is particularly valuable for a multi-chain wallet like ours, where infrastructure requirements can vary significantly from one network to another. I also appreciate the stability of the service and the responsiveness of their technical support when an issue requires investigation.

Cons

  • Nothing significant to complain about. Overall, the experience has been great, and the team is continuously improving the service.
  • Nothing major so far. It has been stable since we started, and the few questions we had were sorted out quickly.
  • Honestly, nothing major comes to mind. We've been happy with the service and haven't had any significant issues.
  • Personally, I would appreciate even more proactive and detailed communication around network-specific incidents, planned maintenance, upgrades, and degraded performance. Earlier visibility into what is affected, the expected impact, and whether any action is required on our side would make troubleshooting across multiple networks even more efficient.
