GetBlock and Tatum are nearly identical on verified lowest latency (6ms each), but GetBlock pulls ahead on the metrics that matter for production workloads. GetBlock's P95 self-measured latency is 87.1ms versus Tatum's 175ms — roughly 2x better tail latency — meaning fewer slowdowns under real traffic conditions. With region-specific endpoints in Frankfurt, New York, and Singapore, developers can pin latency to their target users.

Annual discount
40% (Tatum wins)
GetBlock's optimal shared plan at $159/mo undercuts Tatum's equivalent $189/mo plan. Where Tatum wins is the annual discount (40% vs GetBlock's 20%), making it cheaper for teams that commit year-round. However, GetBlock's self-serve dedicated node configurator starting at $1,000/mo — with transparent public pricing — gives scaling teams infrastructure flexibility Tatum simply doesn't offer.

Advantages
Five decisive reasons GetBlock delivers better infrastructure value at every tier.
GetBlock supports 130+ blockchain networks versus Tatum's 66+ — including Sui, TRON, TON, and 30+ EVM chains Tatum does not cover. If your roadmap includes any chain Tatum doesn't list, you'd need a second provider.
GetBlock delivers 1,000+ requests per second on shared plans. Tatum caps at 200 RPS. For trading bots, indexers, or data-heavy dApps, hitting the ceiling at 200 RPS forces a costly upgrade or architecture workaround.
GetBlock's P95 self-measured latency is 87.1ms vs Tatum's 175ms. Equal lowest latency (6ms) means little when the 5% worst-case requests take twice as long — those are the slowdowns users notice in production.
Sub-5min resolution time for enterprise, 4h for paid shared RPC, 24h even on the free plan. Tatum publishes no SLA for any shared tier. Premium Support is available as an add-on for any GetBlock customer from $49/mo.
GetBlock's Solana toolkit goes far beyond raw RPC: LandFirst for same-slot transaction landing, TradeFirst for HFT and arbitrage, IndexFirst for fast historical data, StreamFirst for near-validator-speed data streaming, plus Jito, gRPC, and DAS by Metaplex.

Core Advantage
For teams shipping production apps where throughput, chain coverage, and reliable support are non-negotiable, GetBlock is the stronger Tatum alternative. 130+ chains versus Tatum's 66+, 5x higher shared RPC throughput (1,000+ vs 200 RPS), and SLA-backed support at every tier — including the free plan — make GetBlock the infrastructure foundation that scales with your product.
Pricing
GetBlock's optimal shared plan ($159/mo) undercuts Tatum's equivalent ($189/mo). Tatum's 40% annual discount beats GetBlock's 20%, making Tatum cheaper for committed annual buyers. But GetBlock's self-serve dedicated nodes starting at $1,000/mo — with public pricing and location choice — give growing teams a clear upgrade path Tatum can't match.
When Tatum makes sense
Tatum is a reasonable choice for developers who primarily need NFT metadata APIs, token price feeds, or multi-chain wallet APIs on supported chains — areas where Tatum has built dedicated abstractions. If your stack stays within Tatum's 66 supported chains and 200 RPS is sufficient, it's a credible option.
The Bottom Line
When production demands verified throughput, broader chain coverage, and guaranteed SLAs at every price point, GetBlock is where serious builders end up.
