When Mobula is the better fit
- You want free credits that renew every month. Aurelia's are given once.
- You need perpetuals or trade execution as well as data. Aurelia only serves data.
- You need more than 30 requests a second on a plan with a published price.
- You need a chain Aurelia has not listed yet.
When Aurelia is the better fit
- You would rather pay for what you use than for a plan. At each size of purchase a credit costs 30% less: $0.28 against $0.40, and $0.224 against $0.32.
- You want answers that say what they cover. A holders list states whether it is complete, and an unknown PnL is null, never 0.
- You want one socket for trades, candles, token pages, holders, balances and new launches. See the WebSocket API.
Switching
- Create a free account: 10,000 credits, no card and no subscription.
- Point one read at Aurelia and compare the answer with what you have now.
- Move the rest when you are happy. Prepay from $5 in USDC on Solana.
