The updated pricing plan includes several new features such as compute unit pricing, a revised Free Tier, and a new pay-as-you-go Scale Plan. With the new pricing model, node API users will now have the ability to auto-scale their access based on their monthly usage, providing limitless and cost-effective scalability. ##### **Free Tier** All node API users can get started with the Free Tier which allows users up to 50 million compute units (CUs) per month. CUs are a way to track usage associated with your endpoints when successful requests are made. On the Validation Cloud platform, your monthly usage is determined by calculating the CUs for *all* endpoints associated with your account rather than the compute units for each individual endpoint. ![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*-KZ_EEjfKLV_U7kXhbmOLg.png) Get started with the Free Tier to connect to leading networks Ethereum, Polygon, and more at [app.validationcloud.io](https://app.validationcloud.io/). ##### **Scale Plan** For users wanting to unlock the full enterprise experience, you can now sign up for the Scale Plan, starting at $19.99/month to benefit from: - **Global** delivery network - **Unlimited** Compute Units (CUs) - **Zero rate** limits ![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*ot7OuKfZPF9DmlYbyIipJA.png) Under the new plan, users will be dynamically charged based on monthly usage, with the price per 1M CUs decreasing as usage increases. The Scale Plan allows for limitless scalability, as the plan allows you to use unlimited CUs and will automatically scale as your usage increases above 50M CUs/month. Unlock the full potential of Validation Cloud’s node API today by signing up for the Scale Plan at [app.validationcloud.io](https://app.validationcloud.io/) ##### **About Validation Cloud** Validation Cloud is a Web3 data streaming and infrastructure company that connects organizations into Web3 through a fast, scalable, and intelligent platform.
