Glacier21 vs Chainalysis Reactor
Glacier21 vs Chainalysis. One reads the chain. One finds the person.
Reactor starts from a wallet address. Glacier21 starts wherever your case does, a wallet, an email, a phone number, a handle or a name, and follows it off-chain to the person who operates the wallet. Here is how the two compare, capability by capability.
Short version
Reactor is built around the wallet. Glacier21 is built around the case.
Reactor is an on-chain graph tool that starts from a wallet address, sold through sales to agencies and large institutions. Glacier21 starts wherever the case does, a wallet or a person, and puts the whole team on it at once.
Head to head
Capability by capability.
The off-chain gap
What is in your case that your tool never showed you?
Every case closed with a chain-only tool leaves one question unasked: what was off-chain? None of it is written on the blockchain, so none of it appears in a tool that only reads the blockchain. You did not miss it. Your tool never looked.
The email in the breach
The suspect's address in a leaked customer database, sitting next to a wallet they once paid from. For teams with breach access.
The handle with the airdrop
The Telegram or X account that linked the same wallet years before anyone thought to hide it.
The page on the web
A payment ID or deposit address published on the general web, right next to the name of the person behind it.
The name in another language
A legal name written in Chinese or Cyrillic that an English-only search returns nothing for.
Glacier21 is #1 in off-chain. Full stop.
Let us show you what Glacier21 finds off-chain on an email, a handle or a wallet you choose. If nothing new turns up, you have lost an hour. If something does, you will want to know before the defense does.

FAQ
Questions about Glacier21 and Chainalysis.
Is Glacier21 a good Chainalysis alternative?
For investigators who need to know who is behind a wallet, and for teams that work cases together, yes. Glacier21 covers search, address profiles, auto-trace and cases, and adds identity search, breach and web footprint intelligence, live multi-user trace boards and published per-seat pricing.
Can I use Glacier21 alongside Chainalysis Reactor?
Yes. You can keep Reactor for wallet analysis and use Glacier21 to go from emails, phone numbers and handles to wallets, then to the person behind them. Nothing about one prevents the other.
How does Glacier21 pricing compare with Chainalysis?
Chainalysis does not publish Reactor prices; you request a demo. Glacier21 publishes per-user prices: Frost is $799 per user per month for 1 to 4 users and $499 list from 5 users less team discounts, and Iceberg with API access is $2,499 per user per month. Viewers and case guests are free. See every plan and team discount on our pricing page →
Does Chainalysis support live collaboration on a graph?
No. Chainalysis describes shared graphs and a Case Workspace for organizing investigations, but not live multi-user editing, cursors or presence. Glacier21 shows teammates' cursors and edits on the same trace in real time.
