- Free: RPC Free: 5 requests/s and 1M or 3M CU a month — Blockdaemon's docs disagree (subscription-management says up to 1M CU/month, the API Suite dashboard page 3M). Starter (100 requests/s, 65M CU) and Growth (200 requests/s, 365M CU) prices are shown only at checkout, so they are not recorded here.
How Blockdaemon counts usage
No price per call can be derived: Blockdaemon meters RPC in compute units (CU) with a requests/s cap per plan, and paid plan prices are shown only at checkout. (source, read )
Where Blockdaemon's own pages disagree
- Free plan CU allowance: up to 1M CU a month on the subscription-management page, 3,000,000 CU valid for a month on the API Suite dashboard page; the rate-limits page lists requests/s only. (source 1, source 2, source 3, read )
