Making On-Chain Data Pricing More Predictable and Transparent
Pricing for blockchain data infrastructure shouldn’t be unpredictable. This update introduces a flat, predictable pricing model for subgraphs, removing query metering, storage limits, and cost uncertainty for developers building at scale.
Pricing should not be something developers have to think about every day.
But in reality, it often is.
Devs building on blockchain data infrastructure already face enough uncertainty. Indexing performance, chain behavior, data consistency, and latency all introduce variables that are hard to control. Pricing should not be another one.
Over time, we’ve seen a clear pattern across devs using Ormi. The biggest friction point is not the cost itself, but engineering budgeting and unpredictable usage.
- How much will this query cost?
- What happens if traffic spikes?
- Will storage grow faster than expected?
These questions are blockers that can prevent engineering teams from moving faster, ultimately hindering growth.
So we’re updating our pricing to remove that uncertainty.
Pricing should be predictable
The goal of this update is simple. Users should know what they're paying before deployment.
With the new pricing model, subgraphs are billed at a flat monthly rate based on the environment and performance tier. There are no variable costs tied to query volume or data growth within that plan.
This means:
- You don’t need to estimate query usage in advance
- You don’t need to optimize around cost instead of performance
- You don’t get surprised by traffic spikes
You can treat data access as a stable part of your infrastructure, not something that fluctuates with usage.
Unlimited queries and storage, by design
Most pricing models in this space are tied to consumption. More queries or more data mean a higher cost and unpredictability.
Applications, trading systems, and on-chain services don’t scale linearly. Usage patterns can change quickly, and infrastructure needs to handle that without introducing friction.
With Ormi, once the subgraph is deployed within a plan:
- Queries are not metered
- Entity storage is not capped on paid plans
- Users can scale usage without constantly re-evaluating cost
This removes a common tradeoff teams face today. Users no longer need to choose between performance and cost predictability.
Transparent pricing that matches how teams actually build
Another issue we’ve seen is that pricing models are often difficult to reason about.
Multiple variables, hidden limits, and unclear thresholds make it hard to understand what you’re actually paying for.
We’ve simplified this.
Each subgraph is billed independently. The plan you choose determines:
- Performance (RPS and throughput)
- Environment (shared, dedicated, or custom)
- Support level and SLA
That’s it.
If you’re running four subgraphs on a Production plan, you know exactly what that costs. If you scale to ten, it scales linearly. No hidden multipliers or unexpected overages.
What this means for existing users
This update applies to new users starting April 1, 2026.
If you are already using Ormi, your current pricing remains unchanged. You can continue using your existing plan as is.
If you choose to cancel and then return, your account will be moved to the new pricing model.
A simpler model going forward
At a high level, the direction is straightforward:
- Predictable pricing
- No metering on queries or storage
- Clear mapping between cost and performance
