Decoded multichain data API vs JSON-RPC and node infrastructure.
GoldRush is a decoded, multichain data API. One call returns wallet balances, transactions with parsed logs, NFTs with metadata, and prices. Alchemy is a node-infrastructure provider, with NFT and Enhanced APIs layered on top of its JSON-RPC product. If your app is wallets, portfolio trackers, tax tools, or agentic workflows that need ready-to-consume data across many chains, GoldRush is the shorter path. If you primarily need high-throughput JSON-RPC plus Alchemy-specific products like Account Kit, Alchemy is the safer pick.

The differences that matter when you're shipping multichain data, drawn from each product's public docs and pricing.
Balances, transactions, NFTs, and prices return from a single GoldRush endpoint. On Alchemy these live across separate Token, NFT, Prices, and Portfolio APIs.
Time-series OHLCV candles and DEX pair analytics ship natively, beyond spot and historical token prices.
One credit unit across every endpoint, instead of per-method compute-unit metering that varies by call.
Consistent decoded wallet, NFT, and pricing primitives across 100+ chains from one product.
Apps that need decoded, multichain wallet, NFT, and pricing data without writing per-chain indexers. Autonomous AI agents that pay per request via x402.
Apps centered on high-throughput JSON-RPC, Alchemy's Enhanced APIs, and Account Kit for embedded wallets.
