What is Bitquery?
Bitquery is a blockchain data provider with GraphQL APIs and real-time WebSocket streams for 40+ chains, including DEX trades and prediction markets. It started in 2017 as Bloxy.info. Paid plans start at $39 a month billed annually, and a 7-day trial includes 1,000 API points. See the full Bitquery profile →
How we picked these alternatives
- 01Chain coverage — networks listed by each provider.
- 02Historical data — whether full history is in the plan or sold separately.
- 03Free access — a permanent free tier or a time-limited trial.
- 04Paid entry price — the cheapest plan and whether it allows commercial use.
- 05Query model — GraphQL, SQL, subgraphs, RPC or REST.
Why look for a Bitquery alternative?
01History costs extra
Self-service plans are real-time only. Archive history starts at $70 a month per chain, so a multichain backfill adds up fast.
0210 core chains on self-service
Bitquery lists 40+ chains, but paid self-service plans cover 10 core chains.
03Short free trial
Free access is a 7-day trial with 1,000 API points. The $39 Personal plan has no streaming and no commercial use.

The 6 best Bitquery alternatives
Covalent's data API returns balances, transactions, NFT metadata, prices and DEX data across 100+ EVM and non-EVM chains, with full history on every plan. Limitation: the $10 plan is not for commercial apps, and the next step is $250 a month.
vs Bitquery
- ▲ Chain coverage: Better
- ▲ Historical data: Better
- ▲ Paid entry price: Better
- Full history on all plans
- Ethereum, Solana and Bitcoin in one API
Indexes data into subgraphs and Substreams across 60+ networks, with 100,000 free queries a month and $2 per 100,000 after that. Limitation: you write and deploy a subgraph before you can query it.
vs Bitquery
- ▲ Free access: Better
- ▲ Chain coverage: Better
- 100,000 free queries a month
- Indexer software public on GitHub
Analysts write SQL against decoded tables instead of GraphQL, and publish dashboards; the homepage lists 130+ chains. Limitation: free access after the trial is view-only, with no API exports or alerts.
vs Bitquery
- ▲ Chain coverage: Better
- ▼ Free API access: Worse
- 130+ chains and 1.5M+ datasets
- 200 requests per minute on Plus reads
#4G
Goldsky
Best for streaming pipelines
Hosts subgraphs, runs Turbo streaming pipelines and offers Edge RPC across 150+ chains. New accounts get $100 in credit with no card. Limitation: there is no flat monthly plan, only pay as you go.
vs Bitquery
- ▲ Chain coverage: Better
- ▼ Flat monthly plan: Worse
- $100 free credit, no card
- Unlimited webhooks on Starter
#5A
Alchemy
Best for RPC plus data
A developer platform with RPC, data APIs and webhooks across 100+ blockchains. The free tier gives 30M compute units a month at 25 requests per second. Limitation: each method costs different compute units, so bills are harder to predict.
vs Bitquery
- ▲ Free access: Better
- ▲ Chain coverage: Better
- Free tier: 30M CU a month
- All mainnets and testnets on free plan
#6Q
Quicknode
Best for certified infra
Sells RPC endpoints, Streams, Webhooks and indexed data APIs across 79+ chains, and is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Limitation: the free trial lasts 1 month, then the Build plan is $49 a month.
vs Bitquery
- ▲ Chain coverage: Better
- ▲ Free trial length: Better
- ▼ Paid entry price: Worse
- SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001
- Streams and Webhooks for live data
Which Bitquery alternative should you choose?
For multichain history at a low price: GoldRush. For a permanent free tier: The Graph. For SQL analysis: Dune. For RPC plus data in one account: Alchemy.
Bottom line
If you leave Bitquery because history costs extra per chain, GoldRush is the closest swap: full history on all plans across 100+ chains, from $10 a month for non-commercial use. If you want to stay free, The Graph gives 100,000 queries a month, but you need to deploy a subgraph first.
Pick Dune if your team thinks in SQL, Goldsky for hosted subgraphs and streaming pipelines on 150+ chains, and Alchemy or Quicknode if you also need RPC endpoints from the same account.

How to move from Bitquery safely
- 1List the Bitquery queries and streams you run, with the chains and date ranges each needs.
- 2Check each query against the new provider's endpoints or schema; GraphQL queries will need rewriting.
- 3Start on the free tier or trial and backfill a small date range to compare results.
- 4Match stream or webhook latency on a test app before moving production traffic.
- 5Cancel Bitquery archive add-ons only after the new history data checks out.
