Etherscan vs PublicNode

Side by side OpenChainBench measurements. Identical layout, no editorial verdict, the live data leads. Each panel surfaces the aggregate plus the chain and region breakdowns when the underlying bench exposes them, straight from the Prometheus queries that drive the parent benchmark pages.

Etherscan

Most-visited Ethereum gas tracker on the web, operated by Etherscan. The v2 gastracker API exposes Safe / Propose / Fast tiers; the legacy single-price shape predates EIP-1559's per-tier priority-fee model.

PublicNode

Public no-key RPC service operated by Allnodes covering 70+ chains. JSON-RPC and WebSocket endpoints with archive support on most networks.

How this pair was selected

A pair is published when all four conditions hold. Both providers run in the same OpenChainBench benchmark for at least seven consecutive days. Each provider has at least 1000 samples in the measurement window. The head to head query has observable third party search demand. Both providers have a public /products/[slug] page on OCB. The full pair ledger is versioned in the public repo so the methodology is externally verifiable.
