01The short answer
Which one fits you
Both sell flat-rate dedicated nodes. Pick by budget and by where the node has to run.
Pick HeroRPC if

- You want a backup node in the price, not a failover you set up yourself.
- You want bigger prepay discounts: 15 percent off at 6 months and 25 percent off at 12.
- You want a price set by node type, not by a quote built from chain, client and region.
Pick GetBlock if

- You want to choose where the node runs. GetBlock names New York, Frankfurt and Singapore, and says it can use any standard cloud region or on-prem.
