## Frequently Asked Questions

**Which Helius plan is right for me?**  
It depends on your use case. The **Free** plan is ideal for prototyping and development with 1M monthly credits and 10 RPC req/s. The **Developer** plan ($49/month) suits production applications that need the LaserStream WebSocket Helius extensions (`transactionSubscribe`, enhanced `accountSubscribe`), 50 RPC req/s, LaserStream gRPC on Devnet, and chat support. The **Business** plan ($499/month) adds 200 RPC req/s, LaserStream gRPC on mainnet, and priority chat for high-throughput applications. The **Professional** plan ($999/month) is designed for trading firms and streaming-heavy workloads with 500 RPC req/s and direct Slack/Telegram support. For needs beyond these tiers, [contact sales](/content/contact/index.html) for a custom Enterprise plan.

**What's the difference between the Agent plan and the Free plan?**  
Both plans include the same features: 1M monthly credits, 10 RPC req/s, 2 DAS & Enhanced API req/s, LaserStream WebSocket (standard Solana methods), and community support. The difference is how you sign up. The Free plan is available through the [Helius Dashboard](https://dashboard.helius.dev/). The Agent plan is for programmatic signup via the [Helius CLI](/content/docs/agents/cli/index.html) or [MCP server](/content/docs/agents/mcp/index.html) and requires a 1 USDC payment to prevent automated account creation abuse.

**What are Data Add-Ons?**  
Data Add-Ons are fixed monthly data allowances for [LaserStream gRPC](/content/docs/laserstream/grpc/index.html) and [LaserStream WebSocket](/content/docs/rpc/websocket/index.html) usage, available exclusively on the **Professional** plan. They replace pay-per-use metering with predictable monthly costs ranging from $500/month for 5 TB to $6,000/month for 100 TB. Any usage beyond your allowance is charged at 2 credits per 0.1 MB (uncompressed). For allowances above 100 TB, [contact sales](/content/contact/index.html).

**How is Wallet-as-a-Service billed?**  
[Wallet-as-a-Service](/content/docs/waas/overview/index.html) bills through your existing Helius credits — there is no separate subscription and no per-monthly-active-user fee. Each signature costs **200 credits** ($0.001 at the standard credit rate), which covers the embedded wallet and signing. Wallet count doesn’t change your bill; only signatures do. You’re billed per signature the wallet produces, so a transaction that fails on-chain after it was signed is still billed; only signing attempts that never complete (for example, a user who cancels the prompt) are free. WaaS is available on paid plans only (Developer and above) and is currently in beta. Track wallets, signatures, and credits spent on the [dashboard](https://dashboard.helius.dev/) in **WaaS → Analytics**.

**Can I switch plans at any time?**  
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from the [billing dashboard](https://dashboard.helius.dev/billing). Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing for the remainder of your cycle. Downgrades for crypto subscriptions take effect immediately with a prorated credit applied to your next billing cycle. For fiat subscription downgrades, manage the change from the [billing dashboard](https://dashboard.helius.dev/billing).
