Helius alternative

Last verified: August 2026

API alternative · Helius

Keep Helius. Stop rebuilding market data on top of it.

Helius is the strongest Solana RPC and infrastructure provider — and it is deliberately not a market-data API: no candles, no price feeds, no wallet PnL, no trader intelligence. Teams either build that layer themselves on Helius' raw firehose, or buy it. MadeOnSol is the buy option: the pre-computed market/intel layer that runs next to your Helius RPC, not instead of it.

Fair is fair

When Helius is the better pick.

If any of these describe you, stay — this page isn't for you, and pretending otherwise would cost us your trust.

Everything transactional

Sending transactions, staked connections, priority fees, RPC reads of custom program state — that's Helius' home turf and MadeOnSol doesn't compete there at all. This page assumes you keep it.

Custom decoding is your edge

If your strategy depends on proprietary interpretation of raw chain events, LaserStream/gRPC plus your own indexer is the right architecture. A pre-computed API would flatten exactly the edge you're building.

DAS and compressed NFTs

The DAS API for assets and compressed NFTs has no MadeOnSol equivalent — we don't do NFT data.

Where we differ

Where MadeOnSol is the better pick.

The four differences that actually move a build decision.

The indexer you'd otherwise build

Candles, per-token trade tapes, wallet PnL, holder/buyer quality — computing these from Enhanced Transactions means months of pipeline work plus permanent maintenance. Here they're endpoints: /tokens/{mint}/candles, /tokens/{mint}/trades, /wallet/{address}/pnl.

Cheaper reads for parsed history

Helius prices Enhanced Transactions at 100 credits per call — a 10M-credit Developer plan ($49) is ~100k parsed-tx calls. MadeOnSol's Pro (€43) gives 10,000 flat calls/day (~300k/month) with the parsing, pricing and PnL math already done.

Intelligence, not just parsing

Parsed swaps tell you what happened. KOL identity, deployer track records, sniper/bundler forensics and coordination alerts tell you who did it and whether it matters — a layer raw infra can't ship by design.

Push channels at the product level

LaserStream gRPC (from the $499 Business tier) streams raw chain events you must decode. MadeOnSol's Ultra (€131) streams decoded, product-level events: DEX trades, KOL buys, sniper deploys, price-alert triggers — webhook or WebSocket.

Side by side

Helius vs MadeOnSol at a glance.

Cells render from the same sourced dataset as the full 9-API comparison, so the two pages can't drift apart.

A cross = not documented by the provider. Quotas in CU/credits are not directly comparable to flat calls — one call can cost 1–100 units depending on the endpoint.

Migration map

Endpoint-by-endpoint mapping.

This is a complement map, not a replacement map: the left column is what teams commonly build on Helius primitives, the right column is the endpoint that makes the build unnecessary. Keep Helius for RPC and transaction sending either way.

Try it

The pipeline you don't build: token candles

Typical stack: Helius for RPC + transaction sending, MadeOnSol for the market/intel read path. The two bills together are usually smaller than the engineering time the indexer costs.

curl -s "https://madeonsol.com/api/v1/tokens/{mint}/candles" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer msk_..."

# → 1-minute OHLCV rows for the mint (open, high, low, close,
#   volume), maintained by our own tracker pipeline —
#   aggregate to 5m/1h/1d client-side as needed

FAQ

Helius alternative questions.

Is MadeOnSol a Helius replacement?+
No. Helius is RPC/infrastructure — transaction sending, raw chain access, DAS, webhooks. MadeOnSol is the market-data and intelligence layer above it. Most MadeOnSol customers run an RPC provider (often Helius) alongside; the honest framing is complement, not replacement.
Does Helius have price or candle endpoints?+
No — Helius' own pricing page documents RPC, DAS, Enhanced Transactions, webhooks and LaserStream; there are no OHLCV, price-feed or wallet-PnL endpoints. That layer is either built by you or bought from a market-data API.
What does building candles + PnL on Helius actually cost?+
Beyond credits (Enhanced Transactions run 100 credits per call), the real cost is the pipeline: streaming ingestion, decoding, dedup and reorg handling, price joins, FIFO accounting, and keeping it all running. That's the work a market-data API amortizes across customers.
Can I stream decoded trades without the $499 gRPC tier?+
Yes — MadeOnSol's DEX firehose streams decoded trades over WebSocket on Ultra (€131/mo). Helius' LaserStream gRPC (Business, $499/mo) streams raw events, which is the right tool when you need custom decoding rather than product-level trade events.
