EAK Digital alternative: ReachWeb3 vs EAK Digital

EAK Digital sits at the top of the price range, with PR, advertising, investor relations and event access for larger projects. ReachWeb3 is a different tool: a database of 690 crypto media you contact yourself, paid once. This guide helps you decide which one fits, or whether to use both.

1 · The question 2 · The comparison 3 · The decision

Last updated October 2026. ReachWeb3 sells a database, so we have an interest in this comparison. Details about EAK Digital are summaries of public descriptions and third-party listings.

Step 1 · What are you really paying for?

A crypto media campaign is four jobs, not one. Agencies and databases cover them differently, so start by knowing which ones you actually need help with.

Job	EAK Digital	ReachWeb3
Find the right media and KOLs	Yes, as part of the service	Yes, this is the product
Reach out and negotiate	The agency does it	You do, with the contact route we show
Produce content and run the campaign	Blockchain PR, Advertising, Investor relations	No
Strategy and measurement	Part of the offer	No

Three questions to answer before you compare prices

What is the goal? Awareness, users, a token sale, investors. Different goals need different media.
What is the budget? Both for the media themselves and for whoever runs the work.
Who will send the messages? If you can, a database is enough. If not, you need an agency.

How much of EAK Digital's work can a database replace? Partial. Media and KOL work is one service among several. A database covers that part, not the rest of the offer.

Step 2 · ReachWeb3 vs EAK Digital, side by side

	EAK Digital	ReachWeb3
Type	PR, ads and investor relations	Media database
What it sells	Web3 marketing for launches and established projects, with PR, ads and investor relations	690 English-language crypto and Web3 media, with contacts, pricing and proof where available
Best-suited stage	Launch to maturity	Any stage, for teams that run their own outreach
Estimated entry budget	about $20K to $60K+ per month	$29 for 55 credits, $99 for 330 credits
Pricing model	Monthly retainer, quoted by the agency	One-time credit packs, no subscription
Time to start	After a call and a scope	The same day: browse free, unlock what you need
Control	Shared with the agency	You pick each media and write each message
Commitment	Terms set by the agency	None. Credits never expire

Budgets on this page are estimates of entry-level pricing taken from third-party listings and comparisons (October 2026). They are not prices published by the agencies, they change, and many agencies quote per project. Confirm with each agency.

What the budget buys

Three months at the estimated entry level (about $20K to $60K+ per month) comes to roughly $60,000. Unlocking every one of the 690 media in the database costs about $227, once. That makes the agency entry budget about 264x higher, for a different kind of work: the agency runs the campaign, the database gives you the media and the contact route.

Questions

How much does EAK Digital cost?

Third-party listings put entry-level pricing about $20K to $60K+ per month. This is an estimate, not a published price. Ask EAK Digital for a quote.

What is a cheaper alternative to EAK Digital?

If what you need is media and KOL outreach, a database such as ReachWeb3 costs $29 or $99 once, against about $20K to $60K+ per month for EAK Digital. It does not replace the rest of what an agency does, so check the overlap above.

Can ReachWeb3 replace EAK Digital?

Partly, and it depends on what you buy. The overlap is partial: media and KOL work is one service among several. A database covers that part, not the rest of the offer. ReachWeb3 does not run campaigns, write content or manage communities.

Is EAK Digital better than a media database?

They solve different problems. EAK Digital fits projects that want someone to run the work (stage: Launch to maturity). A database is for teams that want to contact the media themselves. Many teams start with the database to see what is possible.

Can I use ReachWeb3 and EAK Digital together?

Yes. Build and price a shortlist of media in ReachWeb3, then ask EAK Digital for a quote on the part you do not want to run yourself, such as Blockchain PR.

Is this comparison neutral?

Not entirely. ReachWeb3 sells a media database, so it benefits when readers pick it. Agency details are summaries of public descriptions and third-party listings, and budgets are estimates. Confirm everything with the agency.
