What GetBlock costs compared with Dwellir
Monthly cost at four request volumes, worked out from each provider's published plans and per-method pricing.
| Monthly usage | Dwellir | GetBlock | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000,000requests / month | $49Developer plan | $199Advanced plan | $150 (75%) |
| 50,000,000requests / month | $174Developer plan + overage | $499Pro plan | $325 (65%) |
| 100,000,000requests / month | $299Growth plan | $839Premium plan + overage | $540 (64%) |
| 500,000,000requests / month | $999Scale plan | $3,639Premium plan + overage | $2,640 (73%) |
Method mix: 40% eth_call, 25% eth_getTransactionReceipt, 15% eth_blockNumber, 10% eth_getLogs, 5% eth_getBalance, 5% eth_sendRawTransaction, all on recent blocks. Each column uses the cheapest self-serve plan for that volume, including overage. Trace, debug and archive-heavy traffic changes the result. Run your own numbers.
Why teams look for an alternative to GetBlock
Calls on an archive endpoint cost twice as much, and debug calls on archive cost six times as much.
On a typical read-heavy mix, GetBlock Starter works out to $10.89 per 1M calls. Dwellir Developer is $1.96.
Plans below Pro have no published overage price; you top up when the CU runs out.
Limitless Nodes cover one chain each.
What you get on Dwellir
Dwellir bills one credit per RPC response. eth_call, eth_getLogs, debug_traceTransaction and archive reads all cost the same, so the bill follows your request count rather than the methods you call. GetBlock multiplies compute units by chain and method: 20 per Ethereum call, 40 for debug and trace, and double on archive endpoints.
Paid plans are Developer ($49, 25M responses, 100 RPS), Growth ($299, 150M, 500 RPS) and Scale ($999, 500M, 5,000 RPS), with overage at $5, $3 or $2 per 1M. Trace and debug are on every paid plan, the uptime SLA is 99.99%, and you can pay by card or crypto. For steady traffic, Unlimited Node plans give a fixed RPS for a flat monthly price, from $119 for 25 RPS.
When GetBlock is the better fit
You run steady single-chain traffic near 150 to 300 RPS. A full-node Limitless plan used at full rate works out to about $1.28 per 1M calls, below Dwellir Unlimited Node at about $1.84.
You need more than 100 RPS on a $49 plan. GetBlock Starter allows 250.
Your security review requires SOC 2 Type II.
How the migration works
Create a free Dwellir account and grab an API key from the dashboard.
Replace your existing RPC endpoint URL with the matching Dwellir endpoint - no SDK or code changes needed.
Verify behavior with a handful of read calls, then point production traffic at Dwellir.
Cancel the old plan once production traffic runs on Dwellir.
Dwellir vs GetBlock: FAQ
On shared plans, yes: $49 vs $199 at 10M calls a month, $174 vs $499 at 50M and $299 vs about $839 at 100M on the mix used on this page. GetBlock's single-chain Limitless full node can be cheaper for steady traffic that stays under its RPS cap.
GetBlock multiplies a chain multiplier by a method multiplier. Ethereum, Base and Polygon have a chain multiplier of 20, debug and trace methods double it, and archive endpoints double standard calls and multiply debug calls by six. Dwellir charges one credit per response.
Dwellir speaks the same JSON-RPC and WebSocket APIs, so for most apps the change is the endpoint URL. Create a free account, copy the endpoint for your chain, point a staging environment at it, compare responses for the calls you use, then move production traffic over and cancel the old plan.
