Premium plans add reports and reminders; Mail Track's free tier already covers unlimited tracking.
What free should include
A free email tracker is only useful if it covers daily Gmail workflows.
Unlimited tracked sends
Normal outreach exceeds 100 emails quickly. Free tiers with hard caps force paid upgrades for regular work.
Open counts and timestamps
Knowing an email was opened once is not enough — repeat opens signal real interest before you call.
No ads in your signature
Some free tools monetize by branding every message you send. That is a hidden cost.
