### Agent Subscription API — For autonomous AI agents
Provision any paid plan above programmatically, without human signup. An agent pays via x402 or MPP from a funded EVM wallet, receives a `QN_*` API key, and then creates RPC endpoints via the Admin API.

- Create subscription: `POST https://www.quicknode.com/api/v1/agent/subscriptions`
- Create RPC endpoint (with the returned key): `POST https://api.quicknode.com/v0/endpoints`

**Walkthrough:** https://www.quicknode.com/agents/create-endpoint.md

## Feature Comparison

Business+ tiers are not listed separately below. They match the Business column except for included API credits (3.2B, 4.5B, and 7B) and the Webhooks payload allowance, which scales with included credits at 30 credits per matched block. Priority support is available on Business+ as a paid add-on. See the Plans section above for per-tier detail.

## API Credits

Usage is measured in API Credits. Credits are based on compute intensity per method call.

**Formula:** Method Responses × Multiplier = API Credits

Once your monthly API Credits threshold is reached, additional usage is billed at the overage rate for your plan. For Build, additional usage over $200 is billed immediately. For Accelerate, Scale, Business, and the Business+ tiers, additional usage over $200 is also billed immediately; amounts under the threshold are billed at end of billing cycle.

## FAQ

**How do I get started?**
Create an account, choose a plan, then select a blockchain. https://www.quicknode.com/signup

**Which plan is right for my project?**
For early projects: Free or Build. For scaling businesses: Accelerate, Scale, or Business. For high-volume workloads needing more than 2B API credits per month: one of the three Business+ tiers. For enterprise workloads needing custom settings, optimized pricing, higher RPS, and more: Enterprise.

**What is Business+?**
Business+ is a set of three higher-volume tiers above the Business plan, for teams that need more API credits but do not yet need a custom Enterprise contract. The tiers include 3.2B, 4.5B, and 7B API credits per month, with the effective rate on annual billing falling from $0.42/1M on Business to $0.36/1M on Tier 3. Request rate, endpoints, SLA, and the overage rate match Business, and priority support is available as a paid add-on. All three are self-serve. Choose Enterprise instead if you need dedicated clusters, custom RPS, volume discounts, SSO and RBAC, or a custom SLA.

**What are API Credits?**
API Credits measure usage based on method intensity. Method Responses × Multiplier = API Credits. Multipliers apply to valid 200-status responses. See the full method list: https://www.quicknode.com/api-credits

**How can I increase my limits?**
Upgrade your plan instantly via the dashboard: https://dashboard.quicknode.com/billing/plan. For volume discounts and custom limits, contact sales: https://www.quicknode.com/contact-us

**Can I pay in cryptocurrency?**
Yes. Build, Accelerate, Scale, Business, and Business+ customers can top up with crypto. Enterprise plans support fully crypto billing.

**How do I upgrade or downgrade?**
Sign in at https://dashboard.quicknode.com, go to Usage & Billing, and change your plan. Upgrades are effective immediately (prorated). Downgrades take effect the next billing cycle.

**When am I charged for overages?**
Additional usage over $200 is billed immediately on Build, Accelerate, Scale, Business, and Business+ plans. Amounts under $200 are billed at end of cycle.

**Can I use custom traces?**
Quicknode supports approved custom traces. Contact https://www.quicknode.com/contact-us to submit yours for review.
