Pay for GetBlock

On GetBlock’s pricing page, the shared plans were: Free at $0 with 50,000 CUs a day and 20 requests per second; Starter at $49 a month (90M CUs, 250 RPS); Growth at $99 (185M CUs, 300 RPS); Advanced at $199 (385M CUs, 450 RPS); Scale at $349 (700M CUs, 600 RPS); Pro at $499 (1B CUs, 800 RPS); and Premium at $699 (1.6B CUs, 800 RPS). Paying annually takes 20% off — Starter drops to $39 a month, billed as $468 for the year — and Enterprise starts from $999 a month on custom terms. Unused CUs on paid plans roll over to the next month, but only while the subscription stays active and renews on time; if it lapses, the balance is lost.

Those are pre-tax prices. GetBlock’s terms say all fees exclude applicable taxes, and its payment docs say Paddle adds VAT that depends on your region, so the amount taken from your card is usually higher than the plan price. Real Mehbit transactions show it: the monthly GetBlock charge lands a bit above the plan price once tax is added, consistent with a VAT rate of roughly 9% on top of the chosen plan — though the card data only shows the amount and the merchant, not the plan or a tax line.

The evidence on this page comes from real Mehbit cards. A recurring monthly Paddle subscription charge has settled successfully more than once on the same card, alongside a smaller GetBlock-billed charge shortly after the card was first added. That pattern — a repeated, recurring payment rather than a single one — is what the payment-tested badge on this page rests on. The smaller charge carries GetBlock’s own company name instead of Paddle’s; GetBlock’s docs say card top-ups of prepaid Credits go through Stripe rather than Paddle, which may be why, but the card data does not say what it was for.

In between, a renewal attempt was declined with the reason “Insufficient card balance”. The card simply had not been topped up: the decline came from the card, not from GetBlock or Paddle, and the charge went through again once the card had money on it. GetBlock’s subscription policy explains why this is worth avoiding — a failed renewal is retried after 3 days, and after a second failed attempt the recurring subscription is cancelled and access can be suspended until you subscribe again. Load the card before the renewal date.

Paddle emails a reminder 4 days and again 2 days before each renewal, and takes the payment between 00:00 and 01:00 UTC on the renewal day. To stop, cancel from your GetBlock account at least 48 hours before the period ends; you keep access until then, and unused time is not refunded. GetBlock’s refund policy treats shared-node payments as generally non-refundable, with discretionary exceptions for duplicate payments or an accidental annual subscription that was not used or barely used, requested within 14 days of the payment.
