When Bitquery is the better fit
- You will use all of a Scale plan each month: about $0.20 per 1,000 calls, against Aurelia's $0.224.
- You need a chain Aurelia has not listed yet.
- You want delivery beyond an API. Bitquery lists Kafka and data replicas for larger customers.
When Aurelia is the better fit
- You want to start small: $5 and no yearly bill, for commercial use from the first call.
- Your use goes up and down, and you would rather not pay for an allowance you do not use.
- You want more than 240 requests a minute without a custom plan. Aurelia's paid limit is 30 a second, which is 1,800 a minute.
