Nansen alternatives: onchain analytics and wallet-label APIs

Updated Nov 6, 2026. Listed A to Z, not ranked. Prices change often: confirm with each provider.

Nansen is known for labeled wallets and smart-money flows, sold as an app and an API with a Pro plan or pay per query over x402. If you need a different data focus (derivatives, Solana token safety, wallet portfolios) or a different way to pay, these are the onchain analytics providers in our directory.

Nansen’s own published API pricing is first for reference. For a direct head-to-head see Nansen vs Arkham; for the full breakdown see Nansen API pricing.
