FAQs
Compare Helius against Triton, Quicknode, Alchemy, and other competitors with our open-source RPC benchmarking tool. Across multiple different workload types (e.g., trading, general, etc.) Helius is among the highest-scoring, lowest-latency Solana RPC providers on the market.
Most Solana RPC methods cost 1 credit. getProgramAccounts costs 10 credits, and the paginated getProgramAccountsV2 method costs 1. Historical methods such as getTransaction and getBlock cost 1 credit. getTransactionsForAddress starts at 10 credits and increases with the number of transactions returned. getTransfersByAddress costs 10 credits and requires a Developer plan or higher.
Monthly allowances are 1 million credits on Free ($0), 10 million on Developer ($49), 100 million on Business ($499), and 200 million on Professional ($999). Usage past the allowance is $5 per million credits. The method table is in the credits docs, and plans are on pricing.
RPC rate limits follow your plan: 10 requests per second on Free, 50 on Developer, 200 on Business, and 500 on Professional. Enterprise limits are custom. Professional plans can add 100 requests per second for $100 per month.
Some methods have their own caps. For example, sendTransaction is 1, 5, 50, or 100 per second from Free through Professional, and getProgramAccounts is 5, 25, 50, or 75 per second on those same plans. The full table is in the rate limits docs.
Yes. Archival methods are included on every plan, including getTransaction, getBlock, getSignaturesForAddress, and custom historical methods like getTransactionsForAddress which serves filtered history from a custom index and is up to 10x faster than a standard archival lookup. Details are on the historical data page.
Gatekeeper is the edge gateway in front of Helius's shared RPC infrastructure. Gatekeeper gives requests a shorter path to the node, with sub-millisecond gateway times and tens to hundreds of milliseconds saved versus a typical route. The overview is in the Gatekeeper docs.
Yes. Dedicated nodes start at $2,900 per month and can be ordered from the dashboard. You choose the region and client. They are not subject to the shared plan's request rate limits. The main reason to run one is Yellowstone gRPC streaming. For most streaming workloads, LaserStream is faster and includes historical replay. Use a shared plan for transaction landing, archival queries, and getProgramAccounts. Setup steps are in the dedicated nodes guide.
