name: AvaCloud API Plans
description: AvaCloud offers tiered subscription plans for access to the Glacier Data API, Metrics API, RPC API, and Webhooks API. Plans are differentiated by compute unit (CU) rate limits per minute and per day. Unauthenticated access is supported with reduced limits. Paid plans unlock higher throughput and L1 infrastructure features.
