Alchemy PAYG now $0.525 per 1M CU (flat) - up from $0.45/$0.40 tieredverified
alchemy.com/pricing and docs/reference/pricing-plans both list Pay-As-You-Go at $0.525 per million compute units with no volume tiers; the tracker previously recorded $0.45/1M up to 300M CU and $0.40 above. Throughput add-ons are now priced at $160/mo per additional 5,000 CU/s (self-serve max 30,000 CU/s). Pricing page also shows Free tier at 500 CU/s (docs still say 300 CU/s); 30M CU/mo and 25 rps unchanged. Re-checked 2026-09-14: the Data APIs and Solana rows now carry the $0.525 flat rate too (both official pages still show it); free tiers unchanged.
