Moralis 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.

Cost at volume

Moralis has no verified, comparable per-call billing model in this profile, so no dollar estimate is shown — see their pricing page below. 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.

Each row runs one Triport plan's rate limit for a whole 30-day month: the flat plan price against Moralis's cheapest published way to serve the same volume. Standard read calls, monthly list prices; bandwidth, add-ons and taxes excluded. Moralis publishes no per-call price we can apply, so no figure is shown for it.
When Moralis is the better choice
- 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 Moralis?
- 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 — the scope of the comparison, not a claim about everything Moralis supports; their own documentation is linked at the bottom.
- What do 10M requests a month cost on Moralis vs Triport?
- At 10M requests/month: Moralis — Usage model — see source; Triport — Ethereum and Polygon: $20/mo flat (Basic, 20 RPS sustained · up to 40 burst). Figures come from each provider's public pricing pages (sources linked on this page).
- How current are these Moralis 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 Moralis 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.
