Mailcastr vs Mixmax

Mailcastr provides email tracking and analytics for Gmail. After its Chrome plugin is installed on a PC, it tracks emails sent from then on, recording opens and showing historical activity in a dashboard. Chrome notifications can report opens in real time, and the service can track link clicks and provide device and location information. The BASIC plan costs nothing and includes tracking with Mailcastr branding, a web dashboard, push notifications, and Android and iOS apps. ANNUAL costs $5 a year and adds unlimited tracking, removes the branding, includes location and device information, and provides priority chat/email support. Both plans list mobile apps and push notifications. Mailcastr offers a free trial, but does not state its duration; its pricing page also lists a 14-day money-back policy. The site says it does not access users’ mailboxes or track their activities. It labels tracking mail from any device as coming soon. Its terms say service or order-form limits may apply and describe commercially reasonable safeguards for information security, confidentiality, and integrity.

Mixmax is a sales engagement platform for revenue teams using Gmail or Outlook. It runs as a Chrome extension for Gmail, an Outlook add-in, and a web dashboard for sequences, reports, and workspace settings. Multi-stage sequences can send follow-up emails, create tasks, and schedule calls using merge variables and CSV uploads. Real-time email open and click tracking comes with desktop notifications, while scheduling links let recipients choose a time and add the meeting to both calendars. Rules can create Salesforce tasks after emails are opened or add recipients to sequences when deal stages change. Mixmax also syncs email, meeting, and sequence activity to Salesforce or HubSpot, and lists more than 40 native integrations included on every plan. The Free plan allows 20 tracked emails and up to 50 sequence recipients per month. Paid plans start at $29/user/mo billed annually; a 14-day trial is available. Mixmax requires Chrome for its extension and may limit one user's sending to 1,000 emails per day.
