Ankr vs Triport: pricing, limits, methods
Last updated:
Feature comparison
2× burst buffer, included. Finite request-rate limits show sustained RPS and short burst capacity. A full buffer at 20 RPS can absorb up to 40 requests at once and refills at 20 requests per second. There is no quota on the number of bursts and no extra charge for them. Size ongoing traffic to sustained RPS. Categories with no per-category cap have no numeric burst ceiling. How burst capacity works.

Estimates from each provider's public pricing linked below, using Ankr's published 200–500 API credits per call, by chain: 200 API credits per EVM request, 500 per Solana request: the spread is the chain, not the method (verified 2026-10-13). The range spans those published weights. Triport plans are flat subscriptions metered by RPS, not request counts: pick the plan whose sustained rate fits ongoing traffic. Finite budgets include a 2× burst buffer for short spikes at no extra cost.
Cost of sustained traffic at Triport's plan limits

|---|---|---|
| Ethereum at 20 rps all month (51.84M req) | $20/mo flat (Basic) | $1,037/mo (Pay-as-you-go): 51.84M requests × 200 API credits = 10,368M; 10,368M API credits × $0.1 per 1M |

Each row runs one Triport plan's rate limit for a whole 30-day month: the flat plan price against Ankr's cheapest published way to serve the same volume. Standard read calls, monthly list prices; bandwidth, add-ons and taxes excluded.
When Ankr is the better choice
- No permanent free plan: Triport's Free plan is a 7-day trial. If your traffic fits a free plan, Ankr (Freemium: $0, 200M API credits a month, about 1,800 requests/min, HTTPS only. Public endpoints need no key) costs less.
- Higher published rate limits: Ankr Pay-as-you-go 1,500 rps. Triport's highest published limit below Enterprise on Ethereum and Polygon is 250 RPS sustained · up to 500 burst (Business).
- Fewer networks: Triport serves 9 mainnets and no testnets or devnets (Ankr: 70+ networks).
- Higher published rate limits: Ankr Pay-as-you-go 4,000 rps. Triport's highest published limit below Enterprise on Solana is 600 RPS sustained · up to 1,200 burst (Business).
- If you need testnets or devnets: Triport serves 9 mainnets only.
- If your traffic fits a permanent free plan: Triport's Free plan is a 7-day trial, then a paid plan from $20/mo.
How to choose in 3 steps
- Identify the chains and methods your app needs (solana, ethereum, polygon, bsc, base, tron, robinhood, stellar, ton).
- Compare entry pricing, rate limits per network and the sustained-cost table above.
- Start with Triport's 7-day trial, then pick the plan whose rate limit fits your sustained throughput.
FAQ
- Does Triport support the same chains as Ankr?
- Triport provides RPC for Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Base, Tron, Robinhood Chain, Stellar and TON. This page compares the two on ethereum, polygon, solana — the scope of the comparison; Ankr itself lists 70+ networks (source linked in the table).
- What do 10M requests a month cost on Ankr vs Triport?
- At 10M requests/month: Ankr — $200/mo – $500/mo (Pay-as-you-go); Triport — Ethereum and Polygon: $20/mo flat (Basic, 20 RPS sustained · up to 40 burst) · Solana: $20/mo flat (Basic, 60 RPS sustained · up to 120 burst). Figures come from each provider's public pricing pages (sources linked on this page).
- How current are these Ankr figures?
- Competitor facts are taken from public documentation; see the source link and "Last verified" date at the bottom of this page — that is the date these Ankr figures were read.
- Can I migrate without code changes?
- For compatible standard RPC calls, change the endpoint and API key. Check method availability, network, transports and plan limits first; provider-specific APIs can require code changes.
