Moralis Review

Worth it

Should I use Moralis?

Enterprise-grade Web3 APIs: blockchain data, streams, and RPC nodes - moralis.io

· 1 month ago

Buy Moralis if you're a dev team building crypto apps that need multi-chain data APIs, streams, and RPC nodes under one compliant roof. Skip it entirely if blockchain isn't part of your product — it does nothing for ordinary app development.

Best for

  • Crypto wallet and portfolio apps

Not for

  • Any product with no blockchain component — pure waste
  • Web2 teams that just need a plain REST API
  • Buyers wanting transparent enterprise pricing up front
  • Teams needing flexible custom onchain queries (Bitquery fits better)

Standard plans have API request caps; custom limits require contacting sales.

Four developer plans, but enterprise pricing isn't public — expect a sales call.

Verify npm package names — typosquat campaigns specifically target Moralis users.
