GetBlock's subscription model delivers better value. At comparable performance levels (500 RPS), GetBlock comes in at $399/mo versus QuickNode's $849/mo – less than half the price for equivalent throughput. QuickNode charges extra for select networks on top of the base subscription, which adds costs. Private node pricing is transparent on GetBlock; QuickNode requires a sales call to get a number.

Core Advantage
For developers choosing between GetBlock and QuickNode, GetBlock is the stronger RPC infrastructure provider across every core metric: blockchain coverage, throughput, cost efficiency, latency, and support response times.
Predictability & Scale
GetBlock gives developers the predictability and confidence they need to build and scale with: support for 130+ blockchains (62% more than QuickNode), bigger 20% annual discount (vs QuickNode's 15%), more predictable subscription model than QuickNode's, where effective costs rise with select-access chain fees, and independently verified low RPC latency.
Regional Deployment
Configurable deployments in Frankfurt, New York, and Singapore, available to all GetBlock users, provides even more control over latency.
Solana & BNB Chain
GetBlock can handle 2x the load at identical price points. For teams working on Solana and BNB Chain, GetBlock's specialized data tooling (LandFirst, TradeFirst, IndexFirst, and StreamFirst) and bloXroute BDN integration provides a high-frequency trading and data infrastructure stack that QuickNode's marketplace add-ons cannot replicate.
