GoldRush vs Allium

GoldRush or Allium: which one fits

Allium is enterprise, institutional-grade blockchain data infrastructure: warehouse data shares, low-latency streams, and developer APIs trusted by companies like Coinbase, Visa, and Uniswap. It is sales-led, with no public pricing or free tier. GoldRush is a self-serve decoded-data API with transparent flat-credit pricing and a free tier. Both support x402.

Why choose GoldRush over Allium

The differences that matter when you ship multichain data, drawn from each product's public docs and pricing.

• Self-serve with a free tier

  Sign up and get a key with transparent flat-credit pricing. Allium is enterprise and sales-led, with no public pricing or free tier.

• JSON-RPC included

  GoldRush serves JSON-RPC on 30+ EVM chains. Allium is data infrastructure, not an RPC node provider.

• One unified call

  Balances, transactions, NFTs, and prices return from a single GoldRush REST call. Allium splits these across separate balances, transactions, NFT, and prices endpoints.

• x402 on decoded data

  Both providers ship x402. GoldRush pairs it with self-serve onboarding so an agent can start without a sales process.
