How QuickNode counts usage
API credits: a standard Ethereum/EVM call is 20 credits, a Solana call 30; trace/debug 2x, trace_replay 4x. 20 API credits per standard EVM call and 30 per Solana call (the spread is the chain); trace and debug calls cost 2x, replay 4x. (source, read )
Cost of 1M calls = units per call × QuickNode's published price per unit. Unit prices come from the Plans table above:
- Build: $49 ÷ 80M credits = $0.6125 per 1M credits, if the whole allowance is used.
- Build: $0.62 per 1M credits above the allowance.
| Call | Units per call | $ per 1M calls inside Build ($49 ÷ 80M credits) | $ per 1M calls at Build rate ($0.62 per 1M credits) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard EVM call (Ethereum, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain) | 20 credits | 20 × $0.6125 = $12.25 | 20 × $0.62 = $12.40 |
| Standard Solana call | 30 credits | 30 × $0.6125 = $18.38 | 30 × $0.62 = $18.60 |
| EVM trace or debug call (2x) | 40 credits | 40 × $0.6125 = $24.50 | 40 × $0.62 = $24.80 |
| getLargestAccounts or getSupply (Solana) | 120 credits | 120 × $0.6125 = $73.50 | 120 × $0.62 = $74.40 |
