Each provider is priced on the model it publishes: credit-metered vendors by the weighted DAS mix above, Triport by the sustained request rate the volume implies (50,000,000 calls a month is about 19 requests per second). Triport plans carry no credit allowance; the full DAS method set starts at Pro (Basic exposes an unnamed part of it, so the calculator does not quote Basic for DAS).
How to use it
- Set your monthly DAS request volume.
- Choose a workload preset (NFT marketplace, wallet, cNFT indexer).
- Tick providers to compare — Triport is always included.
- Read the sorted cost table and share the deep-link.

Providers are priced on their own model: credit-metered vendors by your method mix weighted with their own published per-method prices, Triport by the sustained requests per second your volume implies — a flat subscription with no credit allowance and no monthly request cap. A plan is only quoted when its published rate limits (total, and where published sendTransaction, DAS and getProgramAccounts) cover your load. A provider that does not price a method in the mix gets no estimate; generic weights are never applied. Monthly list prices, no annual discounts, bandwidth or add-ons. Above our published plans the answer is a conversation, not a bigger tier.
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.

FAQ
- Why are DAS calls more expensive than basic RPC?
- DAS methods do more work per call, and providers charge for that differently. Credit-metered providers give them a higher credit weight, so the same number of requests costs more. Triport plans are flat and metered by throughput, so a DAS call does not cost more per call — DAS is gated by tier instead: keys on the 7-day Free trial cannot call DAS at all, Basic exposes part of the DAS set, and the full set is available from Pro.
- Which DAS methods does this cover?
- getAsset, getAssetProof, getAssetsByOwner, getAssetsByGroup and searchAssets — the DAS methods in our published Solana catalog.
- Can I share my DAS estimate?
- Yes — the page URL encodes your inputs.
