DidTheyReadIt vs Right Inbox

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.

Right Inbox adds email productivity tools to Gmail, including tracking, scheduling, mail merge, reminders, templates, GIFs, and inbox pause. Open, reply, and click tracking are available with real-time alerts. Send Later lets users schedule messages, while Sequences can follow up when a recipient does not open or reply. Recurring Emails automate messages on daily, weekly, or monthly schedules. Its CRM feature syncs important threads through smart BCC; listed integrations include Pipedrive, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Highrise, Zapier, Greenhouse, SugarCRM, Nutshell, and OnePageCRM. Right Inbox works with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox and is offered as an extension, for macOS, and on the web. The free plan is limited to solo use and five emails per month, with mail merge, sequences, and CRM integration excluded. Paid service starts at $7.95/user/mo (annual). The company says it uses Google OpenID/OAuth2 authorization rather than accessing Gmail passwords.
