Rivet: The Smart Choice for Your Blockchain Infrastructure Needs
Greetings Rivet Frens,
We are excited to share with you why Rivet is the most savvy choice you can make for fulfilling your blockchain infrastructure needs. Our commitment to providing exceptional value to you, our dear customers, is unmatched in the industry. So in that spirit, here is a detailed comparison of Rivet’s pricing and benefits against a few popular alternatives: Infura, Alchemy, and Quicknode.
Rivet’s Transparent and Affordable Pricing
At Rivet, we offer straightforward pricing to ensure you get the best value for your investment:
Base Price: $0.50 per 100,000 requests
Volume Discount: 20% (applied gradually as usage approaches 1,000,000,000 requests per month)
BUITL with Rivet Discount: An additional 37.5% discount for qualifying open-source projects that protect privacy and provide emancipatory services leveraging the revolutionary power of public p2p permissionless open protocols.
Comparing Rivet with Infura
While Infura may initially seem price-competitive, our detailed comparison reveals Rivet’s superior value:
Infura’s Largest (Transparent-to-the-Public) Plan: $1,000/month for up to 5,000,000 requests/day (150,000,000 requests/month).
Rivet Equivalent: $702.50 for the same volume.
Need more than 5M requests a day? Infura requires “Request Packs” at $250 each for an additional 1M requests/day.
Infura: $1,250 for 180M requests/month.
Rivet: $837.00 for 180M requests/month.
For 9M requests/day:
Infura: $2,000/month.
Rivet: $1,242.50/month.
For 1B requests/month:
Infura: $213,500 (this may be better under their “enterprise” plan, for which custom plan pricing not disclosed—but we can’t speculate so we won’t).
Rivet: $4,378.40.
BUITL with Rivet: $2,736.50.
Comparing Rivet with Alchemy
Alchemy’s compute unit billing makes it challenging to compare directly, but our research shows:
Alchemy: $1,200/month for 25,500,000 to 1,400,000 requests depending on call complexity.
Rivet: $111.25/month for 25,500,000 requests of any complexity.
That’s over 10x less than Alchemy charges, without restrictions based on call volume or complexity.
Comparing Rivet with Quicknode
Quicknode also uses a compute unit scheme:
Quicknode: $299/month for 24,000,000 to 4,000,000 requests/month.
Rivet: $103.00/month for 24,000,000 requests of any complexity.
BUITL with Rivet: $64.37/month for 24,000,000 requests.
With Rivet, you avoid arbitrary caps and overage charges, ensuring confidence during traffic spikes and busy months.
