You can now pay for a CoinGecko API subscription with crypto instead of a card. The option shows up when you’re on an annual Analyst plan or above and don’t have an active subscription already.

​
Which chains and tokens are supported

  • Payment runs across six chains:
    Solana, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain
  • USDC and USDT are supported on every chain, and the complete list of accepted tokens per chain appears at checkout.
Payments settle onchain, so gas fees apply on top of the subscription price.
Please leave enough in your wallet to cover them.

​
Do crypto subscriptions renew automatically

There’s no card on file to charge, so renewing means running through checkout again before your subscription expires. We send renewal reminders at:
  • 14 days before expiry
  • 7 days before expiry
If payment doesn’t land before expiry, API access pauses until you renew.
Onchain confirmations take time. Renew a few days early so you don’t get caught by network congestion.

​
Limitations of paying with crypto

No monthly billing option for crypto.

No overage

No upgrades or downgrades

You can cancel, but not change plans mid-subscription.

FAQ

Your plan activates as soon as the onchain transaction confirms — full API access starts immediately, no manual approval needed.
You can’t self-serve that change — contact support to move over.
