# Pricing

> Pay for the data you receive: per GB on pay-as-you-go, or a monthly allowance on a subscription.

Bloklake charges for **the data it sends you**: the bytes of the rows in each response. Not for
requests, not for the range you scan, not per chain. A query that scans a million blocks and
returns ten rows costs ten rows (plus the [10 KB request minimum](https://docs.bloklake.com/billing/how-billing-works.md#minimum-per-request)).

> [card] Pay-as-you-go
>
> **\$0.50 per GB**
>
> * Prepaid in USDC, from \$5
> * 1 request per second
> * No commitment; the balance is used as you go
> * Requests stop with `402` when the balance reaches zero

> [card] Standard
>
> **\$200 per month**
>
> * 1 TB (1,000 GB) of data included every billing period
> * then \$0.25 per GB, up to your overage limit (default \$50)
> * 10 requests per second
> * Card, billed monthly

## Which one?

| You… | Choose |
| - | - |
| are trying Bloklake, or run small or occasional jobs | Pay-as-you-go |
| pay with crypto | Pay-as-you-go |
| use more than about **400 GB a month** | Standard: 400 GB on pay-as-you-go costs \$200, the price of Standard with 1 TB |
| need more than 1 request per second (backfills with many pages, several chains, a head-follower plus other jobs) | Standard |
| need more than Standard offers | a custom plan |

Above 1 TB, Standard costs \$200 + \$0.25/GB. For example, 1.2 TB in a month is \$250 on Standard
and \$600 on pay-as-you-go.

## Custom plans

For more data, higher request rates or different terms, we set up a private plan for your
project: your own price, included data, overage price and requests per second. Email
[support@bloklake.com](mailto:support@bloklake.com) with your expected volume. Once it's ready,
the plan appears on your project's **Billing** page under "Prepared for you", and you subscribe
like Standard.

## What's included in every plan

* Every chain, from genesis to the head, with the same key.
* All fields, both response formats, sets and prepared queries.
* Free: `/status`, `/v1/schema`, `/v1/account`, server errors, and rate-limited or refused
  requests.

## One plan per project

A project pays one way at a time: pay-as-you-go **or** a subscription. To use both (for example
a subscription for production and pay-as-you-go for experiments), use two projects. To switch a
project, see [Subscriptions](https://docs.bloklake.com/billing/subscriptions.md#switching-from-pay-as-you-go).

## Units

1 GB = 10⁹ bytes; 1 TB = 10¹² bytes (decimal, like disk sizes and bandwidth). Prices are in US
dollars.
