  2. We set it up

    Your node is ready within 24 hours of payment. You get a private endpoint in your dashboard.

  3. Change the URL

    Our endpoint is standard JSON-RPC, so most apps only need the new URL. Test it, then cancel your QuickNode plan.

06Questions

Questions about QuickNode alternatives

Is there a cheaper alternative to QuickNode?

It depends on what you buy. QuickNode shared plans start at $49/mo and are metered in credits, so they cost less than a dedicated node. For a dedicated node QuickNode publishes no price, so we cannot compare line by line. Ours is from $139/mo for a full node and from $289/mo for archive, backup included.

Does QuickNode offer dedicated nodes?

Yes, as Dedicated Clusters. Its Clusters page describes a fixed monthly rate with no overages or rate limits. On the pricing page, dedicated clusters are listed under Enterprise.

How much does a QuickNode dedicated node cost?

QuickNode does not publish it, so we say "Price on request" (checked 20 October 2026). We don't quote third-party estimates because we could not verify them.

Can I pay QuickNode in crypto?

Its pricing page says Build to Business+ plans can top up with crypto and Enterprise can pay fully in crypto. HeroRPC takes crypto for every plan.

Which chains can I move to HeroRPC?

Ethereum, Bitcoin, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, BNB Chain, Tron, Avalanche, Optimism, Cosmos Hub, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Linea, Starknet, Celo, Gnosis Chain, Zcash, Monero, Algorand, Solana (validators only), Sui, Aptos, TON, XRP Ledger. If your chain is not on this list, QuickNode is the better fit.

Will my code work after I switch?

Our endpoint is standard JSON-RPC, so most apps only need a new URL. Extra APIs or add-ons from a provider are not part of a plain node, so check what your code calls first.

Is a backup node included?

Yes, on every plan. If your main node goes down, the backup takes over.
