Web3 marketing agencies 2026: what they charge and what they verifiably deliver
Only 13 of 38 crypto marketing agencies publish a price; the two top scorers publish none, NinjaPromo cut its rate card 20–25% in a week, and one agency in seven offers a refund window.
ICODA review: real case studies, no price list, and two services the platforms ban
ICODA review 2026: nine years of case studies and a 5.0 Clutch score, but no published prices, no client terms, a reputation service that writes and posts reviews, and a cloaked Google Ads case. Our score is 4.5/10.
Crowdcreate review: the $250 million claim, the 3.8 on Clutch and the no-refund terms
Crowdcreate publishes prices from $1,199 a month to $150,000 crypto packages, claims $250 million raised and a 5-out-of-5 rating, and refunds nothing “for any reason”. Clutch says 3.8, Trustpilot 4.0 with 31% one-star. Our score is 4/10.
CryptoVirally review: every price published, including the shilling
93 priced products: a €500 press release, a €165,000 Times Square week, a €12,000 “Shilling Army”. Prepaid, no refunds once work starts. Our score 5.5/10.
NinjaPromo review: public prices, a seven-day refund window and a past it no longer mentions
NinjaPromo review: plans from $3,200 to $9,600 a month, 4.9 on Clutch from 97 reviews, 4.3 on Trustpilot, a 7-day refund window, two thin companies. Score 6/10.
MarketAcross review: the agency behind Chainwire, twelve years in, no price list
MarketAcross, the Tel Aviv agency that launched Chainwire, sells crypto PR by quote only. We checked its claims, Clutch record, case-study numbers, terms and twelve years of archived homepages. Score 7/10.
Coinbound review: what the terms, the Clutch record and the case studies actually say
Coinbound review, 7/10: the best-documented crypto marketing agency, at a price it does not print (from about $10,000 a month), on default terms that refund nothing and auto-renew on seven days' notice. We checked the terms, all 14 Clutch reviews, Trustpilot, the case studies and the Mintfunnel link.
Chainwire review: what the crypto newswire guarantees, and what it doesn’t
Chainwire sells four packages from $1,399 to $10,799, moves Cointelegraph and CoinDesk into unpriced add-ons, makes every link nofollow and names no refunds.
