The hidden math of @solana RPC pricing
Most providers charge per credit or per call.
We charge per byte.
Here's what that actually means...
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Per 1,000 getAccountInfo calls
(Solana's most-called method):
@FluxRPC โ $0.0000234
Credit provider โ $0.05
PAYG provider โ $0.01
FluxRPC vs Credit provider: 2,133ร cheaper
FluxRPC vs PAYG provider: 428ร cheaper
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
"But surely on heavy calls you lose?"
getProgramAccounts (5 MB payload):
FluxRPC โ $0.293 per 1k calls
Credit provider โ $0.500 per 1k calls
PAYG provider โ $0.401 per 1k calls
Why?
One charges 10 credits per gPA call.
The other charges $10 per million calls flat.
FluxRPC just charges for the bytes.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Plan-for-plan capacity:
$38/mo FluxRPC = 655M getAccountInfo calls
$49/mo credit provider = 10M calls
$849/mo FluxRPC = 40.3B getAccountInfo calls
$999/mo credit provider = 200M calls
201x more calls.
$150 cheaper.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
gRPC streaming (1 TB/mo):
FluxRPC โ $61.44
Credit provider โ $157.29
PAYG provider โ $81.92
Same gRPC. Different bill.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
And here's the part nobody talks about.
Just to ACCESS mainnet gRPC:
FluxRPC โ $38/mo (Develop plan)
PAYG provider โ $125 prepaid minimum
Credit provider โ $499/mo (Business plan)
13x price gap before you stream a single byte.
Same data. Just paywalled differently.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
No credit games.
No method weighting.
No per-call fee addon.
No overage premiums.
No absurd gRPC paywall.
What should I drop tomorrow?
Why the headline pricing on legacy @solana RPCs is misleading, and what customers actually pay once credits, per-call fees, and method weighting kick in?
or
The Solana Kingmaker Index?
The dev team has been tuning.
Light calls. Heavy calls. Doesn't matter.
@FluxRPC vs the legacy RPC's:
โ getMultipleAccounts
โ getProgramAccounts
โ getSlot
Faster. Across the board.

Colocating in bare-metal is what institutional order flow requires: predictable fills, deep liquidity, and latency that competes with traditional markets.
The model is already proven. Volume has migrated decisively to the venues running this architecture. This is the version of onchain trading we've been promised for years.

Higher RPS, No credits, Faster.
