Independent benchmarks place GetBlock #1 for Solana latency in EU and MEA — a category Infura can't enter, since they don't support Solana. On BSC, both providers are among the leaders across the Americas. On Ethereum, GetBlock's P95 latency is up to 61× lower in APAC and 9× lower in EU.

GetBlock offers more cost-efficient and transparent pricing tiers for smooth scaling, with yearly discounts. Even at the entry paid tier, the choice is straightforward: GetBlock's Starter plan at $39/mo billed annually versus Infura's $50/mo — a similar price bracket, but GetBlock delivers 2× the API endpoints, 2.7× throughput, and region-customizable APIs.

Advantages
Five decisive reasons GetBlock delivers better infrastructure value at every tier.
GetBlock supports nearly 7× more chains than Infura, including Solana, Tron, Bitcoin, and others that Infura does not support.
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) — chains Infura doesn't even serve.
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 Infura simply doesn't offer.

Core Advantage
GetBlock is the stronger choice for any team that takes performance, coverage, and cost-efficiency seriously. With support for 130+ blockchains — nearly 7× Infura's coverage — verified BNB Chain and Solana latency, and transparent tiered pricing that never requires a sales call, GetBlock removes the friction that slows builders down.
Chain Coverage
Infura built its reputation on Ethereum, but doesn't support Solana, Tron, and Bitcoin, which account for a massive share of real-world DeFi and on-chain activity. For developers building at scale across the full Web3 ecosystem, GetBlock is the only complete option.
Regional Deployment
Region-specific endpoints in Frankfurt, New York, and Singapore are available even on the free plan, with advanced data and transaction delivery APIs. Infura offers no region selection for any plan tier.
Pricing & Support
More responsive customer support and Premium engineering support make GetBlock built for developers who need reliability without compromise. Infura publishes no SLAs for paid plans and locks engineering guidance behind enterprise offers.
