Etherscan vs Infura: Choosing the Right API for Your Blockchain Application
- Rate Limits: Infura’s free tier provides a generous number of requests (e.g., 100,000 requests per day) and supports more requests as you scale. This makes it more suitable for real-time dApps.
- Pricing: Infura’s paid plans offer higher limits and additional features like access to Layer 2 networks.
- Use Etherscan if:
- You only need to read blockchain data.
- You want to build tools for analytics or explorers.
- You don’t need to send transactions or interact directly with smart contracts.
- Use Infura if:
- You need to interact with the Ethereum blockchain in real-time.
- You’re building dApps, wallets, or tools that require transactions.
- You need to write data to the blockchain, such as sending Ether or deploying contracts.
