Quicknode Discount: 35% Off for Startups
Quicknode never names a discount figure of its own. Its startup credits are a separate door, and that one closes at Series A.
35% off a Quicknode subscription

On Accelerate, the plan most teams land on after the free trial, 35% is $1,045 a year. Accelerate lists at $249 a month, so the discount takes it to $161.85. On Scale it is $2,095 a year. Those are our sums from Quicknode’s published monthly prices.
Deal at a glance
| Provider | Quicknode, a blockchain development platform founded in 2017. RPC access, indexed data & onchain APIs across 80+ chains and 145+ networks |
|---|---|
| Offer | 35% off a Quicknode subscription for InnMind members |
| Who publishes the 35% | InnMind. Quicknode’s own startup page promises “exclusive discounts, product credits, and personalized support” and names no percentage anywhere |
| What it applies to | Quicknode’s self-service plans: Build $49, Accelerate $249, Scale $499, Business $999 per month at list price |
| What it saves | $206 a year on Build, $1,045 on Accelerate, $2,095 on Scale, $4,195 on Business. Our arithmetic from Quicknode’s published monthly prices, not a Quicknode figure |
| How it is applied | Through the signup link behind this deal. There is no code to type at checkout, so the Quicknode account has to be created from the link |
| Access | Included with InnMind Premium |
| Separate: the Startup Program | Quicknode also runs its own Startup Program, which gives credits rather than a discount, and has its own application & its own gate. Both are worth checking. See below |
| The gate on those credits | Pre Series A only, new Quicknode customers only, and no one who has redeemed a Quicknode credit offer before. Credits work on self-service tiers only |

What you get
Quicknode sells one account that covers both the raw chain access and the data layer on top of it, which is the part that usually turns into a second vendor.
- 35% off the subscription, applied through the signup link behind this deal.
- 80+ chains across 145+ networks on one key, mainnet and testnet, full and archive data.
- More than RPC. Streams & Webhooks for real-time events, IPFS, Solana gRPC, SQL Explorer for queryable indexed data, Swap API, Ordinals & Runes, the Metaplex DAS API, and Clusters for dedicated capacity.
- Agent-native tooling: CLI, Admin API, SDK & an MCP server, so an agent can query chains without a hand-written adapter.
- SOC 2 Type II & ISO 27001, which is the answer to the security questionnaire your first enterprise customer will send.
What founders use it for
Four jobs come up again and again, and all four are cheap in a prototype and expensive the month real users arrive.
Wallets & trading products. Low-latency reads plus higher rate limits are what stop a price screen going stale under load. Rate limits scale with the plan, from 15 requests a second on the trial to 500 on Business.
Real-time onchain triggers. Streams and Webhooks push events to you rather than making you poll for them, which is usually the difference between one plan tier and the next.
Multi-chain launches. Adding a chain becomes a config change instead of a new vendor contract, which matters most for teams shipping on Solana and an EVM chain at once.
Onchain AI agents. The MCP server and CLI give an agent a supported path to chain data, and agents burn requests fast enough that the credit allowance is the thing to size first.
The discount and the credits are two different things
This trips people up, because Quicknode markets the Startup Program loudly and the discount not at all. They have different mechanics and different conditions, and you can look at both.
| This deal: 35% off the subscription | Comes from InnMind, applies to the plan price, arrives through the signup link, and InnMind states no funding-stage condition on it. Included with InnMind Premium. |
|---|---|
| Quicknode Startup Program: credits | Comes from Quicknode, is applied for on their form, and is reviewed on your project, use case and fit with the programme. Quicknode says most reviews land within a few business days and publishes no credit amount. |
| The Series A wall | Companies that have raised a Series A or later are not eligible for the credits. This sits inside a collapsed FAQ on their page and is the single most common reason an application is wasted. |
| New customers only | The credit offer is aimed at startups new to Quicknode. Existing customers are told to apply for the programme anyway, for the other benefits, but not for the credits. Anyone who has redeemed a Quicknode credit offer before is out. |
| Self-service tiers only | Credits can only be spent on Quicknode’s self-service plans. Enterprise is excluded, so a credit grant does not carry over if you move onto a custom contract. |
| What else the programme carries | Partner offers including AWS credits, office hours with Quicknode engineers, investor introductions, Quicknode Ventures, and their events and ambassador track. Those parts have no funding-stage gate. |
Read plainly: if you are pre Series A and new to Quicknode, apply to the programme as well as taking the discount. If you have raised a Series A, the discount is the part of this that still works for you.
What 35% off saves on each plan
Quicknode publishes its plan prices and its credit allowances. It never multiplies the discount through them, so here is that sum.
| Build | $49 a month becomes $31.85, so $206 a year. 80,000,000 API credits a month, 50 requests a second, $0.62 per extra million |
|---|---|
| Accelerate | $249 a month becomes $161.85, so $1,045 a year. 450,000,000 API credits a month, 125 requests a second, $0.55 per extra million |
| Scale | $499 a month becomes $324.35, so $2,095 a year. 950,000,000 API credits a month, 250 requests a second, $0.53 per extra million |
| Business | $999 a month becomes $649.35, so $4,195 a year. 2,000,000,000 API credits a month, 500 requests a second, $0.50 per extra million |
| Before you commit | The free trial is $0 with 10,000,000 API credits and 15 requests a second, which is enough to size your usage before you pick a tier |
| One caveat | These are monthly list prices. Quicknode also sells the same plans cheaper on annual prepay, and whether the 35% stacks on top of that is not published. Worth asking before you prepay a year |
Who is eligible
| For the 35% discount | An InnMind Premium membership. InnMind publishes no funding stage, company age or revenue condition on it. |
|---|---|
| Your Quicknode account | Has to be created through the link behind this deal, because the discount travels with the signup rather than with a code. |
| For the Startup Program credits | Pre Series A. Quicknode states that companies which have raised a Series A or later round are not eligible. |
| First time only | New to Quicknode, and not someone who has redeemed a Quicknode credit offer before. Existing customers can still join the programme for everything except the credits. |
| Where credits work | Self-service tiers only. Enterprise plans are excluded. |
| Decision | Quicknode reviews each application on the project, the use case and the fit, then sends an acceptance email with the credits. Most reviews take a few business days, and acceptance is not guaranteed. |
How to claim it
- Sign in to InnMind. This deal needs a Premium membership, so upgrade first if you are on the free plan.
- Open this deal in the InnMind app and click Access Perk.
- Create your Quicknode account from that link. This is the step people skip, and it is the whole mechanism. An account made separately will not carry the discount.
- Start on the free trial and watch your API credit burn for a week before you choose a tier. Picking the plan by usage rather than by guess is worth more than the discount on it.
- If you are pre Series A and new to Quicknode, apply to their Startup Program too. It is a separate form and a separate benefit.
Terms worth knowing
Two separate things are described on this page. The 35% subscription discount is InnMind’s, applied through the partner signup link behind this deal, and it needs an InnMind Premium membership. Quicknode does not publish that percentage or any other on its own site, so the figure is InnMind’s and is stated as such. The Quicknode Startup Program is Quicknode’s own, gives credits rather than a discount, and its terms come from quicknode.com/startup as published in July 2026, including the conditions that companies at Series A or later are not eligible, that the credit offer is aimed at customers new to Quicknode, that anyone who has previously redeemed a Quicknode credit offer is not eligible, and that credits can only be used on self-service tiers. Quicknode publishes no credit amount. Plan prices quoted here are Quicknode’s published monthly list prices from quicknode.com/pricing in July 2026. The yearly saving figures are our arithmetic from those prices and are not published by Quicknode. Annual prepay is priced lower and whether the discount stacks with it is not published. Acceptance into the Startup Program is at Quicknode’s discretion. Deal details verified July 2026.
Questions founders ask
How much is the Quicknode startup discount?
35% off a Quicknode subscription, through InnMind. Quicknode itself advertises “exclusive discounts” on its startup page without naming a figure, so the 35% is InnMind’s number rather than a published Quicknode one.
What does 35% off actually save on each plan?
Against Quicknode’s monthly list prices it is $206 a year on Build, $1,045 on Accelerate, $2,095 on Scale and $4,195 on Business. Accelerate, the tier most teams reach first, goes from $249 a month to $161.85. Quicknode does not publish these conversions; they follow from its own price list.
Is the discount the same as the Quicknode Startup Program?
No. The discount comes from InnMind and cuts the price of your plan. The Startup Program comes from Quicknode, gives credits rather than a discount, and has its own application and its own conditions. If you qualify for both, use both.
Who is eligible for Quicknode startup credits?
Startups that have not raised a Series A or later round, that are new to Quicknode, and that have not redeemed a Quicknode credit offer before. Existing customers are encouraged to join the programme for its other benefits, but not for the credits.
Which Quicknode services can the credits be used for?
Self-service tiers only. Enterprise plans are excluded, so credits do not follow you onto a custom contract.
Is there a Quicknode promo code to enter at checkout?
No. The discount travels with the signup link behind this deal rather than with a code, so the Quicknode account has to be created from that link. An account opened separately will not carry it.
Do I need InnMind Premium for this deal?
Yes. Quicknode is one of the Premium deals. A free InnMind account still opens the rest of the catalogue, including several cloud and Web3 infrastructure deals that need no upgrade.
