Linea Plans
Linea's public JSON-RPC endpoint (rpc.linea.build) and Token API are free with rate limits applied per IP. The Lineascan block explorer API uses the Etherscan API V2 pricing model (Free, Lite, Standard, Advanced, Professional, Pro Plus, Enterprise) with subscriptions now managed through the Etherscan V2 portal unified across 50+ EVM chains. An API key from lineascan.build is required for explorer API access; the Token API and public RPC require no key for basic usage.

It defines 8 plans, covering freemium, subscription, and enterprise tiers, with named plans including Public RPC (Free), Token API (Free), Lineascan Explorer API Free, Lineascan Explorer API Lite, Lineascan Explorer API Standard, and 3 more.
