Alchemy plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Growth | $49/month | 3 | +$49/month, 3 more features |
| Scale | $199/month | 3 | +$150/month, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Alchemy in for hosted blockchain node access across mainnets and testnets, backing a production web3 application without running nodes, webhook-driven notifications for on-chain events, scaling read throughput beyond self-hosted node limits. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Alchemy are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
Before you pay for Alchemy
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between Free and $199/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Alchemy runs on api, web, and is published by Alchemy Insights Inc. of San Francisco, California. The full record is on the Alchemy review.
Alchemy pricing questions
- How much does Alchemy cost?
- Alchemy publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Free up to $199/month for Scale. The entry tier costs nothing.
- Does Alchemy have a free plan?
- Yes. The Free tier costs nothing and covers 300m compute units, 5 apps, core apis. Paying starts at $49/month for Growth.
- What is the difference between Free and Growth on Alchemy?
- Growth costs $49/month against Free, and adds 400m compute units, 15 apps, enhanced apis.
- Is the Scale plan on Alchemy worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is 1b compute units, unlimited apps, premium support. It costs $199/month against $49/month for Growth. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with Alchemy?
- The record lists 9 features across 3 areas: core, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for hosted blockchain node access across mainnets and testnets, backing a production web3 application without running nodes, webhook-driven notifications for on-chain events.
- Does Alchemy charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Alchemy prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Alchemy against before paying?
- Nothing else in this directory is filed close enough to Alchemy to make a useful price comparison.
