Advantages
Five decisive reasons GetBlock delivers better infrastructure value at every tier.
GetBlock offers almost 2× more blockchain networks compared to Ankr, covering 130+ chains versus Ankr's 75+.
Support for over 1,000+ requests per second (RPS) even for Shared RPC access without throttling or artificial rate limits.
GetBlock excels in latency benchmarks for Solana (EU, Middle East) and BSC (North America, South America) with independently verified results.
Sub-5min resolution time for the majority of requests, with Premium Support available as an add-on for any customer.
RPC node for high-frequency trading, same-slot transaction landing solution, archive data indexer, and ultra-fast streams — tools Ankr simply doesn't offer.
// GetBlock Solana RPC — sub-10ms latency

})
}
);
// Response in 6ms (verified, CompareNodes)
// { "result": { "value": 1000000000 } }Verdict
Core Advantage
GetBlock wins clearly on the things that define production-grade infrastructure: verified performance, transparency, and high-quality customer support. On the operational side, GetBlock delivers a more predictable and developer-friendly experience.
Regional Deployment
Every user can place their RPC nodes in the region closest to their infrastructure, reducing latency at the source — backed with verified latency benchmarks across multiple regions. Ankr offers no region selection.
Pricing Predictability
GetBlock's tiered pricing model gives teams flexibility and full cost predictability, while Ankr's focus on a PAYG model makes cost harder to control as usage grows.
Solana Developer Tooling
For Solana developers specifically, GetBlock's purpose-built toolkit — Yellowstone Geyser gRPC, LandFirst, TradeFirst, StreamFirst, IndexFirst — covers use cases that Ankr simply doesn't address.
