What MailTracker is

MailTracker adds email-open tracking to Gmail through a Chrome extension, with a web platform also listed. It reports when an email is first opened, how many times it is viewed, and whether the view was on mobile or desktop. Chrome notifications can flag a first open in real time; 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 emails.

The free plan allows 20 tracked emails per month and includes the first tracking history, email alerts, Chrome notifications, and an email activities feed. Paid plans add link tracking, follow-up reminders, full tracking history, CSV export, and tracking for scheduled email. The Starter plan is $29.99 a month; Advanced is $49 a month. MailTracker uses the Gmail API and asks for permissions that include reading, composing, sending, and permanently deleting Gmail. Its privacy policy says it processes tracking events, clicks, and metadata without storing email contents. MailTracker is an independent company of Hunter.io with a remote team working worldwide.
