Pricing

Bitcoin API pricing, in plain USD

Every plan is paid and credit-based, priced for the queries you run. Far less than building and running your own node, indexer and ETL pipeline. No free plan, no surprises. Informational on-chain data only, not financial advice.

Credit-based usage. Each plan includes a monthly pool of API credits. Calls cost credits by type, so you only pay for what you query. Need a custom volume or annual commitment? Talk to us.

How credits work

What a query costs in credits

Calls draw from your monthly credit pool by type. Light lookups are cheap, heavier queries cost more, so a busy month is always predictable.

Query	Credits
Address lookup	1 credit
Transaction or block lookup	1 credit
SQL query	5 credits
Metric series	10 credits

Why no free plan

Production-grade infra has a real cost per query

Indexing every block since the 2009 genesis, reconciling block by block, keeping the chain current within seconds and serving it at a 99.9% SLA is real infrastructure with a real cost behind every call. A paid plan keeps that fast and reliable for teams who depend on it, instead of throttled and noisy for everyone.

You can still try the live Query Console on the site for free to see exactly what the API returns before you choose a plan.

How BitcoinDatabase compares

BitcoinDatabase

The whole chain, three ways: REST API, SQL and dashboards, plus entity labels and an AML module. Bitcoin only, in depth.

Glassnode

Strong on packaged metrics, but metrics-first. BitcoinDatabase gives you the raw chain and SQL underneath the charts.

Dune

Great multi-chain SQL, but you build everything. BitcoinDatabase pairs ready Bitcoin endpoints and dashboards with SQL.

Chainalysis

Enterprise forensics only. BitcoinDatabase serves developers and analysts too, with compliance as one module, not the whole product.
