MailTracker
What it is
MailTracker tracks Gmail email activity through a Chrome extension, with a web platform also listed. It reports when a message is first opened, how many times it is viewed, and whether viewing occurred on mobile or desktop. Chrome can send a real-time first-open notification, while email alerts can report an open or a message that remains unopened for 48 hours. Tracking can be disabled in one click or enabled only for selected messages. The free plan allows 20 tracked emails per month and includes first tracking history, email alerts, Chrome notifications, and an activities feed. Paid plans add link tracking, follow-up reminders, complete history, CSV export, and scheduled-email tracking. MailTracker uses Gmail’s API and requests permissions to read, compose, send, and permanently delete Gmail. It says it processes tracking events, clicks, and metadata rather than storing email contents. Tracking may be incomplete when recipients block images, use incompatible clients, switch devices, forward messages, or load cached content.

The verdict
