Where each one falls short

Alchemy

  • The free tier is capped at 30M compute units a month and 25 requests per second

  • Beyond the free allowance it is $0.45 per 1M compute units for the first 300M a month

  • Signed SLAs and priority support require an Enterprise contract

Fibery

  • Free plan limited to 10 users and 10 guests
  • Free plan limited to 10 databases
  • Enterprise plan requires minimum of 25 paid users
