OnchainSuite and EmailOctopus
EmailOctopus is a cheap, simple email tool built on Amazon SES. OnchainSuite sits in a different category, a retention platform for blockchain companies, but teams often weigh a basic email tool against doing retention properly.
Why blockchain companies choose OnchainSuite over EmailOctopus. EmailOctopus sends broadcasts and light automations. There is no event pipeline, no wallet identity, and no sense of what happens on-chain. If retention past the newsletter matters, OnchainSuite is the better fit.
Reads both lanes. What customers do in your app and what their wallets do on-chain go onto one record, with no export to prepare.
Reaches wallets with no email. An in-app message needs only the wallet, so customers who never gave you an address still hear from you.
Loops that stop when the customer acts. A Loop waits, sends by email or in-app, and ends the moment the action is recorded on the contract.

OnchainSuite and EmailOctopus, answered
Can EmailOctopus trigger on behaviour?
Only basic list automations. There is no product-event or on-chain triggering.
Is OnchainSuite overkill next to it?
If you only send newsletters, EmailOctopus is fine. If you want to retain wallets on on-chain behaviour, the two are not comparable.
Does it cost a lot more?
The Suite plan starts at $39 a month, more than a newsletter tool because we read your contracts as well as your list. Without blockchain data, the Send plan is $6 a month plus $3.95 per 1,000 subscribers.
