Speak to our teamWhy analytics teams choose Dune over Nansen
Protocol analytics, not just portfolio tracking
Nansen tracks wallets and signals. Dune is built for protocols, researchers, and enterprises who need deep custom analytics — DEX volume, governance metrics, DeFi flows — over 1+ PB of decoded onchain data.
Custom SQL, dbt, and every tool you already use
Nansen offers limited queries with credit-based API access. Dune gives you full SQL on raw decoded data, dbt Connector, BI tool integrations, Python and TypeScript SDKs, and warehouse export.
SQL purpose-built for blockchain data
DuneSQL ships with blockchain-native types — varbinary for wallet addresses, uint256 for token amounts — and built-in functions for hex decoding and log parsing. Nansen Query runs on BigQuery with standard SQL types, where addresses are plain strings and token amounts are floats — meaning your team writes the type handling manually every time.
Enterprise SLAs, dedicated support, AI-native workflows
Nansen tops out at a $49/month self-serve tier with no enterprise offering. Dune provides enterprise-grade SLAs, 24/7 support via Slack and Telegram, and MCP-ready AI agent integrations.
