Bundler Sponsored Operations are the recommended way to sponsor gas on mainnet, which requires a PAYG or Enterprise plan. The onchain paymaster and ERC-20 gas payments are free on testnets for all plans. On mainnet they are currently only available to Enterprise teams, with limited exceptions.
Each application has reserved dedicated throughput, measured in Compute Units per Second (CUPS). Your app can exceed these limits based on elastic demand in our system.
| Tier | Base CUPS |
|---|---|
| Free | 300 |
| PAYG | 10,000 |
| Enterprise | Custom |
Note: Even if your application limit is lower, the system may allow higher throughput based on available capacity. For a more robust experience, we recommend implementing retries when experiencing throughput errors.
Add-ons give your team more capacity or features for a fixed monthly price. You buy and manage them in the Alchemy Dashboard. This table shows which add-ons each plan can buy:
| Add-on | Free | PAYG | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Throughput | No | Yes | Yes |
| UTXO | No | Yes | Included |
- Buying mid-month: You pay a prorated amount for the rest of the month, on a separate invoice the day you buy. The amount is the monthly price × the days left in the month, including the day you buy, ÷ the days in the month.
- Renewal: On the 1st of each month, the add-on is billed in advance for the new month, on the same invoice as the previous month's usage.
- Removing or reducing: The change takes effect on the 1st of the next month. You keep the add-on until then, and the current month isn't refunded.
For example, a $100/month add-on bought on October 10 costs $100 × 22 ÷ 31 = $70.97 on an October 10 invoice. Your November 1 invoice then includes $100 for November, plus your October usage.
