Netcore Cloud
Indian customer engagement and email infrastructure suite with part of the fee tied to your KPIs
As of 31 August 2026, Netcore Cloud's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. A martech suite from Mumbai combining campaign orchestration, an email sending API and ecommerce product search. Softwr lists it under Marketing. Netcore Cloud is made by Netcore Cloud Private Limited, available on Web, API, iOS SDK, Android SDK.
Overview
What Netcore Cloud does
Netcore Cloud sells three things that a buyer often mistakes for one. Netcore Customer Engagement is a campaign and journey orchestration platform with segmentation, push, in-app, SMS, WhatsApp, email and a customer data layer. Netcore Email API is the transactional and bulk sending infrastructure built on the Pepipost business it acquired, competing directly with SendGrid and Mailgun. Netcore Unbxd, acquired in 2022, is ecommerce product search and merchandising. You can buy any one of them, and confusing them is the most common evaluation error. The distinguishing commercial fact is how it prices. Netcore publishes no rates at all: Growth and Enterprise both route to a quote based on monthly tracked users and feature configuration. What it does state publicly is that roughly 30 per cent of the platform fee is tied to your business KPIs, an outcome-based arrangement rather than a flat licence. That is genuinely unusual in enterprise martech and shifts some delivery risk onto the vendor, but it also means your invoice varies with metrics whose definition is negotiated at contract time, so the KPI definitions and measurement source deserve as much legal attention as the price. The company also moved its main domain from netcorecloud.com to netcore.ai, which is worth knowing when checking documentation and old links. Buyers are Indian and Southeast Asian consumer brands, banks, media companies and ecommerce operators, plus a growing Middle East and North American mid-market. Netcore prices below Braze and Salesforce Marketing Cloud for comparable message volumes and has strong regional deliverability and WhatsApp capability, which is the reason it wins. The trade-off is that support and engineering strength concentrate in Indian time zones and its North American and European reference base is thinner.
What people use it for
- An Indian ecommerce brand that needs email, WhatsApp and app push in one journey with WhatsApp template approval handled by a vendor that deals with Meta daily
- A bank or insurer with an India data residency requirement that rules out sending customer data to a US-hosted engagement platform
- A consumer app moving off Braze or Salesforce Marketing Cloud on cost, at comparable monthly tracked user volumes
- An ecommerce operator that wants site search and merchandising from the same vendor as its campaign platform through the Unbxd product

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Netcore Cloud.
- No pricing is published at any tier, and the outcome-linked component means your bill varies with KPI definitions negotiated in the contract, so two customers on the same configuration can pay very different amounts with no public benchmark to argue from.
- The outcome-based element cuts both ways: if the agreed KPI moves for reasons unrelated to Netcore, such as a pricing change or a seasonal shift, you can pay more for a campaign programme that did not change.
- Netcore Cloud is three distinct products under one brand, Customer Engagement, Email API and Unbxd, and buyers regularly assume capabilities from one are present in the contract for another.
- Engineering and support depth sit in Indian time zones, so European and North American customers get slower escalation on production incidents than a locally staffed vendor would give.
- The main domain moved from netcorecloud.com to netcore.ai, so a significant amount of documentation, developer guidance and third-party writing now sits behind redirects or dead links, which slows implementation teams down.

Answered, with sources
Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Does Netcore publish any pricing?
No. Both Growth and Enterprise route to a sales conversation, priced on monthly tracked users and feature configuration.
What does outcome-based pricing actually mean?
Netcore states that roughly 30 per cent of the platform fee is tied to agreed business KPIs. Scrutinise how those KPIs are defined and measured before signing.
Is Netcore the same as Pepipost?
Pepipost is the sending infrastructure Netcore acquired; it now trades as Netcore Email API and is sold separately from the engagement platform.
Can data stay in India?
Yes. Netcore offers regional data centre options including India, which is a common reason regulated Indian buyers choose it over US platforms.
