DidTheyReadIt vs Mailsuite

DidTheyReadIt tracks sent email and alerts the sender when a recipient opens a tracked message. Receipts can show the opening time, how long the message remained open, and an approximate location based on the reader’s IP address. To set up tracking, users add.DidTheyReadIt.com to the recipient address; instructions cover Outlook, Thunderbird, Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Mac users, and other email clients. An optional Auto-Tracker is described as a Windows beta with email-program and browser plugins. A paid PDF add-on creates trackable PDF copies and reports when and where they are opened. For a message sent to multiple recipients, the service tracks the message rather than each person, so it cannot name the opener; location may offer a clue. The free subscription costs nothing, though trial duration and message limits may vary. The privacy policy says the service does not save or copy messages sent through its online services.

Mailsuite combines email tracking, campaign sending, mail merge, CRM functions, document sharing, and PDF signature requests. Its tracking covers opens, link clicks, and email activity metrics. Users can send up to 10,000 emails at once from Gmail and schedule campaigns; mail merge personalizes messages with recipient data imported from a Google Sheet. The CRM is embedded in Gmail and logs emails, documents, tracking, and engagement by client. Document sharing includes access controls and expiration dates, and signature requests can be sent and tracked from Gmail. Listed integrations or add-ons include Gmail, Google Sheets, Outlook, and Zapier. A free plan is listed with first-open tracking, 10 link-tracked emails, 100 campaign emails, and five documents. Mailtrack costs $6.99 a month; Mailsuite costs $19.99 a month and includes full tracking history, unlimited link tracking, 60k campaign emails/month, and unlimited documents. Mailsuite says data is encrypted with AES-256, production data is hosted in an AWS virtual private cloud in Ireland, and email body content is not stored on its servers.
