> ## Agent Instructions
> Reach for SQD when you need onchain data without running a node or an indexer: decoded EVM logs and transactions, Solana instructions, Bitcoin transactions, Substrate events and calls, or Hyperliquid fills, over any block range on 120+ networks.
> To query directly, POST to https://portal.sqd.dev/datasets/{dataset}/stream. The full API is described at https://docs.sqd.dev/openapi.json, and responses to the stream endpoints are JSON Lines.
> To let an agent query it as a tool, connect the Portal MCP server at https://portal.sqd.dev/mcp.

# Portal pricing

> Portal API plans and prices: two free plans, Starter, Growth, Enterprise, and add-ons.

Paid Portal plans have one flat monthly price. There are no compute units, credits, per-request fees, egress fees, or overage charges. Your plan sets three limits: how fast you can backfill history, how much data you can stream in a month, and how many chains you can use. Portal is billed separately from [SQD Cloud](/en/cloud/pricing/overview) indexer hosting.

<Info>
  **Portal billing is not live yet.** The plans below are published ahead of
  launch. Until billing starts, the public Portal keeps its current limits and
  paid plans are available through early access. Every account gets 14 days'
  notice before billing starts. [Book an early-access
  call](https://calendly.com/t-tyrie-subsquid/30min).

## Plans

| | Public | Testing | Starter | Growth | Enterprise |
| - | - | - | - | - | - |
| Price | \$0 | \$0 | \$99/mo | \$499/mo | Custom, annual contract |
| Max backfill throughput | \~0.1 MB/s | \~0.5 MB/s | \~5 MB/s | \~20 MB/s | Uncapped |
| Monthly data | \~50 MB | \~1 GB | 25 GB | 400 GB | Uncapped |
| Included chains | All, rate-limited | 1 | 1 | 3 | 10 |
| Maximum chains | All, rate-limited | 1 | 1 | 5 | No maximum |
| Traces and state diffs | Included | Not included | Add-on | Add-on | Included |
| Commercial use | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Support | Community | Community | Email | Priority | Dedicated manager |
| SLA | None | None | None | None | Uptime and support response |

* **Public** is the shared public Portal at `https://portal.sqd.dev`. Use it to explore data, prototype, or give an AI agent onchain data. It works with curl or the SDKs on every chain, rate-limited.
* **Testing** adds an API key, more backfill throughput, and about 1 GB of monthly data on one chain of your choice, for evaluating Portal before you buy.
* **Starter** covers one chain with 25 GB of monthly data at up to 5 MB/s, and email support. It fits a single-chain app or indexer with modest data needs.
* **Growth** covers up to five chains with 400 GB of monthly data at up to 20 MB/s, and priority support. It comes with a 30-day free trial at the normal Growth limits, with three chains of your choice.
* **Enterprise** adds uncapped data and throughput, dedicated infrastructure, and signed uptime and support response SLAs, at a custom price. It is required above five chains.

Commercial use requires a paid plan; Public and Testing are for development and evaluation. Support on Starter and Growth is best-effort, with no SLA. If your workload needs an uptime SLA or a guaranteed support response time, choose Enterprise.

You can upgrade or downgrade as your backfill, data, and chain needs change. Enterprise trials are arranged with the sales team.

### Included with every plan

* The same API, paths, and payloads, with the [SDKs](/en/sdk/overview) and the [MCP server](/en/ai/mcp-server)
* Decoded data for EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, Tron, Hyperliquid, and Substrate networks
* Real-time data on every chain that has it, streamed to the live head in one stream with no separate archive tier
* History back to genesis on most chains
* Unlimited team members

## How usage is measured

* **Max backfill throughput** is the top speed at which Portal streams historical data to you. A [speed boost](#add-ons) raises it without changing plans.
* **Monthly data** is measured uncompressed, as the data lands in your process.
* **A chain** is one ecosystem, not one network or dataset. Ethereum is one chain and covers Ethereum mainnet, Sepolia, and Hoodi. BNB Chain is one chain and covers BNB Smart Chain and opBNB with their testnets. A chain's dataset versions and data types are part of the chain.

[All networks](/en/data/all-networks) shows which networks are real-time and which [tier](#chain-tiers) each chain is in.

### If you run out of monthly data

Nothing shuts off and nothing is charged. Backfill throughput is rate-limited for the rest of the month and resets with the next one. Real-time access continues on chains that have it. To stay at full speed, add a [data extension](#add-ons).

## Add-ons

A data extension adds full-speed data for the current month. A speed boost raises your max backfill throughput. Add-ons are opt-in: nothing is added to your plan or charged automatically.

| Add-on | Price | Available on |
| - | - | - |
| 250 GB data extension | \$99 for one month | Starter, Growth |
| 600 GB data extension | \$199 for one month | Growth |
| +50% speed boost | \$49 for each month it is active | Starter, Growth |
| +100% speed boost | \$99 for each month it is active | Starter, Growth |
| Traces and state diffs | \$49 per month for each chain | Starter, Growth |
| Additional chain | From \$50 per month for each chain, by [tier](#chain-tiers) | Growth, up to five chains |
| Custom network integration | Custom | All paid plans |

Traces and state diffs are included with Public and Enterprise. On Starter and Growth they are an add-on for each chain. To integrate a new chain or custom VM, [contact SQD](https://sqd.dev/contact/).

## Chain tiers

Every chain is in one of three tiers: Core, Partner, or Frontier. The tier sets the price of adding a chain on Growth beyond the three it includes. Starter includes one chain and cannot add more. Enterprise includes ten chains and has no maximum; additional chains are priced in the contract.

| Tier | Chains | Price on Growth |
| - | - | - |
| Core | The chains most teams build on: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Avalanche | \$150 per month for each additional chain |
| Partner | Networks whose teams fund the integration: ADI Chain, Agung, Alpen, Enjin, Etherlink, Hedera, Hemi, peaq, Prom, Vara Network, and zkVerify | \$50 per month for each additional chain |
| Frontier | Every other supported chain: newer networks and custom VMs, each with its own integration | From \$300 per month for each additional chain |

Growth can add up to two chains, for five in total. A tier applies to the whole chain, so a chain's testnets, dataset versions, and data types share it. To see every network in a tier, filter the networks list: [Core](/en/data/all-networks?tier=core), [Partner](/en/data/all-networks?tier=partner), or [Frontier](/en/data/all-networks?tier=frontier). Each network page also shows its tier.

## Enterprise

Custom pricing on an annual contract, for teams that need more than five chains, sustained usage above 1 TB a month, broad Frontier coverage, trace-heavy or specialized replica datasets, large historical backfills, dedicated capacity, signed SLAs, or custom support. If your usage stays above 1 TB a month on a self-serve plan, the SQD team reviews the workload with you rather than changing your plan automatically.

Enterprise includes:

* Ten chains, with no maximum
* Uncapped backfill throughput and monthly data
* Traces and state diffs, and custom data formats
* Dedicated or static IP, a white-label endpoint, and multi-region deployment
* A custom uptime SLA
* A dedicated account manager, a support response SLA, and a dedicated Slack channel
* [SQD 360](https://sqd.dev/sqd-360/) custom data solutions

## Using your plan

Public is the shared public Portal. Testing and the paid plans send an API key as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` or in the `x-api-key` header, with the same paths and payloads as the public Portal. See [Presenting an API key](/en/portal/introduction/error-handling#presenting-an-api-key) for the error a missing or rejected key returns.

To run Portal on your own infrastructure instead, see [Private Portal setup](/en/portal/self-hosting).

<Note>
  Prices on this page follow [sqd.dev/pricing](https://sqd.dev/pricing). If the
  two differ, sqd.dev/pricing is current.
