How to test one
- Take the five calls your product makes most.
- Run them on two APIs for a real token you know well, and compare the answers with a block explorer.
- Work out the monthly cost at your volume. A credit, a point and a compute unit each buy a different amount of work.
We make Aurelia, so weigh this page accordingly. Aurelia is not affiliated with any other API named here.
Free to start: 10,000 credits, with no card and no subscription.
