Pricing

Free tier	1M credits/month, 10 RPS
Cheapest paid plan	$49 a month
Usage price	$5 per 1M additional credits (paid plans)
Good to know	Developer $49 = 10M credits, 50 RPS. Standard RPC call = 1 credit, DAS call = 10 credits (helius.dev/docs/billing/credits), so per_1k is the overage rate for standard calls. MCP runs locally via npx (repo helius-labs/core-ai).
