Tatum review
A unified multi-chain toolkit, with paid tiers for higher usage and dedicated throughput.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tatum brings blockchain access and developer tools into a shared platform for teams building Web3 applications across multiple networks. Its features include JSON-RPC access to nodes, indexed blockchain data, real-time notifications, a unified API for blocks, transactions, balances, and mempool data, plus JavaScript and TypeScript SDKs. Contract and token deployment endpoints, key management for local transaction signing, and fee estimation extend the toolkit beyond data retrieval. Tatum is suited to teams that want a common interface for multi-chain work; teams focused on a single chain or a narrower development need may prefer a more specialized service.
Pricing ranges from a free plan to usage and throughput tiers. Free includes 100,000 credits, 2 API keys, and a rate limit of 3 requests per second. Starter costs $49 per month and includes 4,000,000 credits per month, up to 250 transactions, and up to 350 wallets. Dedicated API key plans cost $99 per month for 10 RPS, $249 for 25 RPS, $509 for 50 RPS, and $1,049 for 100 RPS; each specifies dedicated throughput. The Starter price appears on the Smart Wallets product page, while dedicated API key rates are listed on the main pricing page. Teams should assess the relevant product scope and current dashboard terms before choosing a tier.
The breadth of the interface is useful, but it is not a promise of identical capabilities across networks: features and service levels vary by blockchain, and network coverage differs by page and product scope. Tatum also lists cloud and browser extension deployment, community and documentation support, SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and 24/7 support. Those signals may matter to teams assessing operational fit, but they do not replace checking chain-specific coverage and service requirements. Choose Tatum when a shared API and related tooling across networks are central; look elsewhere if your priority is a narrowly focused core development tool or consistent functionality across every network.
