name: Sui API Access Plans
description: >
  Sui does not operate a centralized paid API tier directly. Mysten Labs
  maintains free public endpoints with rate limits, and access to higher
  capacity is obtained through community RPC providers. Third-party providers
  such as Chainstack, Shinami, Ankr, QuickNode, GetBlock, and OnFinality offer
  tiered plans with higher throughput.
