Extra Credits

If you exhaust your credits within a billing cycle, you can purchase additional credits:

• Crypto Plans — purchase additional prepaid credits directly from the dashboard

• Card Payment Plans — enable autoscaling in the Project Settings on the dashboard

The rates for additional credits vary depending on your plan:

Developer	Business	Professional
$5/million extra credits	$5/million extra credits	$4/million extra credits

If you regularly incur overages, consider upgrading your plan.

Note: renewing or extending your plan will not immediately renew credits. Credits will refresh only at the beginning of the next billing cycle.

If you need more than 200M credits, contact us to discuss enterprise plans.

Enterprise Plans 🏢

Enterprise plans are ideal for large teams that need personalized rate limits and more credits than the professional plan offers. Enterprise customers receive discounted pricing for high credit volumes and longer commitments. You can choose your support level with service level agreements (SLAs), uptime guarantees, usage alerts, and direct access to our engineering team to help you optimize your setup.

To explore Enterprise plans, contact our sales team.

Autoscaling Limits

Autoscaling automatically adjusts your credits when you exceed your plan's monthly usage. Additional credits are charged at the end of your billing cycle. Autoscaling is only available for fiat plans.

Here's how to set up autoscaling:

1. Sign in to your account dashboard

2. Go to Project Settings

3. Scroll to the bottom where it says “Autoscaling Limit”

4. Drag the slider to set your preferred autoscale limit

5. Drag the slider all the way to the right to set “no limit”

6. Click “Save Settings”

Configure autoscaling limits in the Helius dashboard

Payment Methods

We accept credit cards and crypto payments. We also offer crypto autopay!
