Can I run Solana on OrbitFlare and EVM chains on QuickNode?

Yes — many teams run this hybrid setup. OrbitFlare focuses on Solana (plus BNB and Polygon as multi-chain extensions), so you can keep QuickNode for the rest of your EVM stack and use OrbitFlare for Solana workloads that need specialized features.

Does OrbitFlare support EVM chains?

OrbitFlare currently offers BNB Chain and Polygon RPC alongside Solana. The product focus and the bulk of advanced features (Shredstream, Jetstream, Apex) are Solana-specific.

Is OrbitFlare cheaper than QuickNode for Solana?

For most Solana RPS tiers, yes — particularly above 50 RPS. Compare your projected RPS against the published tiers on each provider's pricing page for an exact answer.

OrbitFlare vs QuickNode

Solana-native vs multi-chain.

QuickNode is a strong multi-chain RPC provider supporting 60+ chains with broad tooling. OrbitFlare is Solana-native — every part of the stack, from Shredstream to Jetstream gRPC to the Apex transaction landing service, is engineered specifically for Solana's execution model.

Where QuickNode shines

Multi-chain coverage — 60+ networks under one vendor
Mature add-on marketplace and integrations
Long track record across the broader Web3 stack
Good for teams that want one vendor for everything

Where OrbitFlare wins

Generalist Solana support — no Shredstream or Jetstream
Solana-specific features lag behind Solana-native providers
Pricing can climb fast as Solana RPS scales
Less Solana-specific support depth

Bottom line

QuickNode is the right choice if you operate on multiple chains and want one vendor relationship. For a Solana-first product, OrbitFlare typically delivers lower latency, better transaction landing during congestion, and more granular Solana-specific features (Shredstream, Jetstream, Apex) at competitive pricing. A common pattern: teams use QuickNode for their EVM chains and OrbitFlare for their Solana workloads to get specialized Solana features without giving up multi-chain coverage.
