  • The only one that still works is http://www.bitcoinmonitor.net/. I don't see an option for watch-only at blockchain.info. – ike Nov 20 '14 at 22:13
  • Only blockchain.info is still up among these, and I could add a watch-only address but I never got the notification email for an incoming transaction on that address. – a3nm Oct 21 '15 at 00:17
  • https://txnotify.com works as of february 2020. It's very simple as well. You can get email notifications every time your bitcoin address receives money. Or when a transaction reaches a specified number of confirmations. disclaimer: I made it. – Bjørn Olav Jalborg Feb 02 '21 at 07:33

As of October 2015, the only services that still seem to offer email notifications (for free) for transactions on an address (for which they don't need the private key) appear to be:

  • http://blockchain.info/wallet with the option to add a wallet as watch-only. It doesn't seem 100% reliable (it missed a few transactions initially), but now it seems to work and gives a notification pretty much instantly.

  • http://blockonomics.co with which I had a temporary problem with validating the confirmation email, but seems to work otherwise. Notification emails arrive a bit later (maybe they wait for the transaction to be confirmed or something like that?).

  • Yes, blockonomics waits for two confirmations on blockchain before sending out email Source: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Blockonomics – dark knight Oct 26 '15 at 13:17

You can add that address to blockchain.info/wallet, as watch-only if you prefer, and enable email notifications.

(didn't try that myself with watch-only addresses, so this might fail)

I am trying this out:

https://cryptocurrencyalerting.com/my-alerts.html

It works for btc but also other currencies. It's free and online based, so no app to install.
