Cons	Paid plans begin at $49 per month after the free tier Managed endpoints create dependence on Chainstack routing and node operations Dedicated Nodes start at $678 per month Global routing can add infrastructure and provider concentration risk	Legacy bridge contract was exploited on Ethereum Mainnet in December 2025 Production-tier support SLAs require plans starting at $99 per month Guaranteed 12-hour SLA and custom infrastructure require the $1,499 monthly Pro plan Heavy reliance on managed relayer infrastructure can lead to vendor lock-in
Best for	Multichain application teams, RPC-heavy trading systems, Enterprise blockchain infrastructure	Consumer Web3 apps needing social onboarding, Cross-chain dApps routing swaps, Gaming teams deploying on EVM or Solana
