## Enterprise discounts, entirely self-serve

Alchemy Scale Tier means enterprise discounts for web3’s most powerful API.

‍[Get started](https://www.alchemy.com/pricing) without ever talking to our team 🥳

## Developer-first pricing, always 

What does it take to bring blockchain to a billion people in a bear market? Affordable, powerful APIs.

In 2022, web3’s largest and most powerful Free Tier got us one step closer.

Today, Scale Tier takes things up a notch.

Scale Tier gives developers massive savings, and powerful API access, all without ever having to talk to Sales \(sorry [Glenn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/glennrachlin/) 😢\).

## How does it work? 

Scale Tier offers two plans: 

- Scale Yearly, to save 30% annually
- Scale Monthly, to pay-as-you-go, for ultimate flexibility 

Both plans are 100% self-serve through your Developer Dashboard. 

### Scale tier features

Scale Tier gives web3 developers access to Alchemy's full suite of best-in-class blockchain tools at some of the industry's most affordable rates:

- [Account Abstraction APIs](https://www.alchemy.com/account-abstraction) - support smart accounts with simple Bundler and Paymaster APIs[‍](https://www.alchemy.com/custom-webhooks)
- [Custom Webhooks](https://www.alchemy.com/custom-webhooks) - stream real-time notifications with [transaction filters, and variables](https://www.alchemy.com/blog/custom-webhooks-variables-filters-block-freshness)[‍](https://www.alchemy.com/transaction-simulation)
- [Simulation APIs](https://www.alchemy.com/transaction-simulation) - protect your users by simulating transactions before they make it onchain

With less expensive rates for on-demand usage and the ability to prepay for compute units, developers can focus on scaling their daily active users \(DAUs\) at a more predictable cost.

## Let’s get started! 

Scale Tier unlocks the most powerful web3 developer platform, at the cheapest price.
