Mailsuite vs ReadNotify

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.

ReadNotify tracks email and document activity. It reports when tracked emails are opened, how long they are read, and whether they are forwarded or reopened. It can also track Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files. Reports may include approximate recipient location, IP address, email or browser software, language, and document activity. The service offers digitally signed proof of posting and opening with timestamps, along with self-destructing, ensured-receipt, and retractable email controls.

Notifications can arrive by email, SMS, or listed instant messaging services. The Gmail add-on works with Google Workspace, and the site also describes a Hotmail/Outlook OfficeJS app. Gmail access through POP or IMAP is not supported by the add-on. A free plan includes 20 tracked emails per month and two weeks of trial access to sender tracking and detailed recipient tracking. Monthly Select costs $3.99 a month; Basic costs $24 a year; Premium costs $36 a year. Subscriptions have email limits, and unused credits roll over while the subscription remains current. The service does not offer pay-as-you-go plans.
