Pricing

€20
Start is free for testing and early development — 100,000 requests, 15 RPS, and access to 5 networks for one month.

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).

Business (NOWNodes' "Popular" pick) targets companies running production infrastructure at scale: 30,000,000 requests/month, 25 API keys, a dedicated account manager, and custom node support — €200/month (€180/month billed annually).

Business Plus is for businesses that outgrew Business but aren't enterprise-scale yet — 50,000,000 requests/month with the same features and more headroom — €300/month (€270/month billed annually).

Enterprise serves high-volume operators like exchanges and wallets: 100,000,000 requests/month, 100 API keys, the lowest overage rate (€0.50/100k), and near round-the-clock support — €500/month (€450/month billed annually).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 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 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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • QuickNode makes it easy to connect and interact with multiple networks easily even when using free RPC endpoints. The setup is quick, the dashboards are clean, and the service has been stable in my experience. It’s super helpful for testing, script development, and quick contract interactions without needing to host my own nodes. I really like how many features are packed in support for tons of networks, good documentation, and useful developer tools even on the free plan.
  • QuickNode provides seamless, high-speed connectivity that’s essential for time-sensitive trading on Solana. The setup and management process is intuitive, and their support team is responsive and knowledgeable, making troubleshooting a breeze.
  • Users can deploy nodes across many cloud providers thanks to the platform's multi-cloud capabilities. This adaptability guarantees scalability, redundancy, and the freedom to select the infrastructure that best suits their requirements.
  • QuickNode makes Web3 development a breeze: - No node setup or maintenance, just focus on building. - Access multiple blockchains with blazing-fast global nodes. - Easy-to-use APIs, pre-configured for instant setup. - Rock-solid infrastructure for reliable testing and deployment. - Effortlessly scale to handle traffic spikes and enterprise needs. - Get alerts for important events, store data on IPFS, and access add-ons.
  • The wide range of services, tools and plugins are available for most EVM compatible networks, helping developers getting started and actually build a product.

Cons

  • The rate limits on the free tier can be a bit restrictive when you're doing high-frequency testing or building tools that ping the chain frequently. Slightly more generous limits would go a long way for developers in early stages.
  • I still think that we should be able to try the add ons before we buy them
  • Despite the platform's user-friendly design, there can still be a learning curve for those who are unfamiliar with managing blockchain nodes. A more seamless onboarding process requires sufficient documentation and assistance resources.
  • Centralization: Not as decentralized as running your own node, which may be a concern for some projects. Cost: Can be more expensive than running your own node, especially for high-volume applications. Limited control: Less control over node settings compared to running your own. Vendor lock-in: Switching to another provider might require some effort.
  • Starknet is still missing from the blockchain list.
