Plans
The Flow Access API is provided free of charge via community-operated public access nodes on both Mainnet and Testnet. There are no subscription tiers or paid plans for the public API. Rate limits apply per client IP to ensure fair usage across the community. Developers requiring higher throughput can operate their own private access nodes or use third-party node providers such as QuickNode.
