Why teams move from GetBlock
- A lower entry price: $99/mo instead of $1,000/mo.
- A backup node included in the price, not a failover you set up yourself.
- Bigger prepay discounts: 15 percent off at 6 months and 25 percent off at 12, against 10 and 20 percent.
- The price depends on the node type, not on a quote built from chain, client and region.
