Why teams leave Infura for MeterCall

Infura is ConsenSys infrastructure — the original centralized RPC with enterprise SLAs. MeterCall routes RPC across independent nodes and adds 20M real-world APIs on the same meter.

Where Infura still wins

SLA maturity. Infura has run enterprise RPC since 2016. If your procurement team needs projected 99.99% SLO on paper, Infura can deliver that today.
Ethereum Foundation proximity. Deep ties to core dev mean new EIPs land on Infura fast.
IPFS gateway. First-class pinning — we do not replicate this directly.

For pure EVM RPC with enterprise SLA paper, Infura is defensible. MeterCall wins when you need RPC plus the rest of the stack on one meter.

Where MeterCall wins — with specifics

One meter, not twelve. Infura gives you RPC. Your app also needs Stripe, Twilio, OpenAI, weather, geocoding — 11 more invoices. MeterCall rolls all of it into one $0.001-per-call line.
No credit units. Infura's credits per method get expensive fast — eth_getLogs can cost 80+ credits per call. MeterCall is flat per request, no method multipliers.
Agent-native. x402 lets an agent pay Infura-equivalent calls from its own wallet. Infura has no agent-pay story.

Migrate from Infura

Swap the endpoint, keep your code. Replace https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/PROJECT_ID with https://rpc.metercall.ai/eth plus X-MeterCall-Key header. Your ethers / web3.js / viem clients do not change.
