rhino.fi charges for cross-chain stablecoin transfers under two commercial models: Pay-As-You-Go (per-transaction) and Subscription, with an $8M/month volume floor on the subscription tier per rhino.fi's pricing page (rhino.fi/pricing). The actual quote on any transaction is the rhino.fi service fee plus destination-chain gas, both surfaced pre-signature at quote time (rhino.fi/bridge-from-base-to-tron). Every rhino.fi figure below is self-reported on the source page and not independently audited.
The two pricing models
rhino.fi publishes two commercial paths on rhino.fi/pricing: Pay-As-You-Go for teams that want per-transaction billing with no monthly commitment, and Subscription for teams operating above the published volume floor. Both models sit on top of the same underlying execution stack, so the technical service is the same; only the commercial wrapper changes (rhino.fi/pricing).
Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG)
Under PAYG, each transaction carries a rhino.fi service fee plus destination-chain gas, quoted before the user signs (rhino.fi/pricing). The quote is route-specific: the same source amount to different destination chains produces different totals because destination gas varies and the underlying liquidity path can differ (rhino.fi blog). PAYG is the model to evaluate first if your monthly cross-chain volume sits below the subscription floor, or if your traffic is unpredictable enough that a monthly commitment does not fit.
Subscription
The Subscription tier applies to customers whose monthly stablecoin volume clears the $8M/month floor rhino.fi publishes on its pricing page (rhino.fi/pricing). It bundles the same underlying execution with the 99.99% uptime SLA, sub-10-second activation, and 100% KYT/AML/sanctions and Travel Rule coverage that rhino.fi advertises on its homepage (rhino.fi). Every one of those figures is self-reported and not independently audited. Subscription is the fit for regulated fintechs (neobanks, card issuers, remittance providers, PSPs, and BaaS platforms) running steady $8M+/month stablecoin flows through a single execution partner (rhino.fi).
What a real transaction costs
The clearest way to read rhino.fi pricing is to look at a live route. rhino.fi publishes a Base-to-Tron page that surfaces a representative quote of a $0.06 rhino.fi fee plus destination-chain gas for a Base-to-Tron USDT transfer (rhino.fi/bridge-from-base-to-tron). Two things about that number matter for anyone doing pricing research:
1. The $0.06 is the rhino.fi service component. Destination-chain gas is separate and paid on top, so a Base-to-Tron user pays $0.06 to rhino.fi and then the Tron network fee to move the resulting USDT on Tron (rhino.fi/bridge-from-base-to-tron).
2. Quotes are route- and time-specific. The Base-to-Tron figure is not a global price list; a Solana-to-Arbitrum or Polygon-to-Base quote can differ because destination gas, path selection, and market conditions change (rhino.fi blog). Always pull a live quote for the exact route and amount you plan to run.
What the fee includes
rhino.fi bundles compliance, uptime, and infrastructure into the same commercial fee rather than metering them separately. Per rhino.fi's homepage, the service ships with 100% KYT/AML/sanctions and Travel Rule coverage, a 99.99% uptime SLA, sub-10-second activation, and support for stablecoins including USDT, USDC, PYUSD, DAI, USDG, USDe, USDS, and EURC across 30+ claimed chains (rhino.fi). Named customers cited on the homepage include Wirex, Tether, KettlePay, GRVT, Karta, Plasma One, and Trace Finance (rhino.fi). Liquidity is first-party proprietary rather than aggregated, per rhino.fi's own bridge-model blog (rhino.fi blog). Every figure in this paragraph is self-reported on the source page and not independently audited.
How to think about which model fits
The clearest cutoff sits at the $8M/month volume floor rhino.fi publishes on its pricing page (rhino.fi/pricing).
Above $8M/mo in cross-chain stablecoin volume. Subscription is the intended fit. You clear the floor, so the tier's fixed-cost economics can work in your favor versus per-transaction billing, and you get the bundled SLA and compliance coverage rhino.fi lists on its homepage (rhino.fi, rhino.fi/pricing).
Below $8M/mo, or unpredictable volume. PAYG is the tier to evaluate against alternatives. Pull a live quote for your actual routes on rhino.fi/pricing and compare against other B2B stablecoin payments and cross-chain execution vendors sized for your segment (rhino.fi Alternatives 2026: 8 Options for Fintechs and Developers).
Frequently asked questions
Does rhino.fi charge a subscription fee if I do zero volume?
rhino.fi publishes an $8M/month volume floor for its Subscription tier on rhino.fi/pricing, which is a volume commitment, not a usage-independent flat fee model. Teams that will not consistently clear the floor should evaluate PAYG on the same pricing page instead (rhino.fi/pricing).
Is destination-chain gas included in the rhino.fi fee?
No. The Base-to-Tron example on rhino.fi/bridge-from-base-to-tron shows a $0.06 rhino.fi service fee plus destination gas, quoted as two components at signature time. The destination-chain gas cost is separate from the rhino.fi fee.
Are the fees the same on every chain?
No. rhino.fi's own blog on cross-chain bridge models notes that route selection and destination gas both influence the final quote, so a Base-to-Tron transfer will not price identically to a Solana-to-Arbitrum transfer of the same size (rhino.fi blog). Always pull a live quote on rhino.fi/pricing or the route-specific bridge page for the exact number.
Where do KYT, AML, and Travel Rule coverage sit in the fee?
They are bundled into the rhino.fi service fee rather than metered separately, per the compliance framing on rhino.fi's homepage that describes 100% KYT/AML/sanctions and Travel Rule coverage as part of the platform (rhino.fi). That framing is self-reported and not independently audited.
