Alchemy Subgraphs vs Envio

How Alchemy Subgraphs and Envio differ on type, speed, chains and developer experience.

Alchemy SubgraphsEnvio
TypeManaged serviceOpen-source framework
How it worksManaged, Graph-compatible subgraph hosting on Alchemy’s infrastructure, alongside its broader node + data API stack (Supernode, enhanced APIs).The HyperIndex framework with TypeScript handlers, powered by HyperSync (a Rust query engine up to 2000× faster than RPC). Wildcard + multichain from a single indexer; self-host via Docker or use the hosted service. Graph-compatible migration.

Alchemy Subgraphs

  • Enterprise-grade reliability
  • Seamless Graph migration
  • Part of Alchemy’s full stack
  • Paid / enterprise pricing
  • Not decentralized

Envio

  • Independently benchmarked fastest
  • HyperSync up to 2000× faster than RPC
  • TypeScript + wildcard + multichain
  • EVM-focused (non-EVM via RPC only)
  • Younger ecosystem than The Graph

Bottom line

Pick Alchemy Subgraphs for teams already on alchemy; pick Envio for fast evm indexing + great dx.
