Rate limits vs credits

Includes Webhooks, Hub endpoint, Indexer-as-a-Service, and all Read & Write APIs.
- Scale — $249/mo, 60M credits/month.
- Enterprise — custom limits.
Rate limits are set per subscription plan
- Free plan rate limits are 600 or 10 per API endpoint
- Scale plan rate limits are 1200 or 20 per API endpoint
API-specific rate limits in
This type of rate limit is triggered when you call the same API above its API-specific threshold on your plan. As an example - On the Free plan, you can call two different APIs at 400 RPM each for a total RPM of 800 without triggering your rate limits.
¹ Starter and Growth are legacy plans — no longer offered to new customers, but retained for existing subscribers. The new Free tier shares the same rate limits as the former Growth plan.
Global rate limits in RPM
This type of rate limit is triggered when you call any API above the global threshold on your plan./validate, /signer and signer/developer_managed APIs don’t count towards global rate limits.
