ReadNotify
What it is
ReadNotify tracks email and document activity, giving senders reports on opens, reading duration, forwards, and reopens. It can also track Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF files. Reports may show approximate recipient location, IP address, email or browser software, language, and document activity. For posting and opening, the service offers digitally signed proof with timestamps. Email controls include self-destructing, ensured-receipt, and retractable messages, while notifications can arrive by email, SMS, or listed instant messaging services. ReadNotify is available on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and as an extension. The Free plan costs nothing and allows 20 tracked emails per month, with two weeks of trial access to sender tracking and detailed recipient tracking. Monthly Select is $3.99 a month; Basic is $24 a year; Premium is $36 a year. Subscriptions have email limits, and unused credits roll over while a subscription is current. The Gmail add-on works with Google Workspace but not with email accessed through POP or IMAP.
