Looking for Mailtrack for Gmail? What to compare before you pick one
· 2 min read · The Bulk Mail team
Mailtrack is well known enough that people search for it by name when what they actually want is the category: an extension that shows whether a Gmail message was opened. This is a guide to comparing that category honestly, including our own product.
A note first: Mailtrack is a trademark of its owner and we are not affiliated with it. We are not going to describe its current features or pricing, because those change and we would rather you check the source than trust a competitor’s summary. What follows is what to compare — the questions apply to every tool in the category.
Five things worth comparing
1. Does it brand your emails?
Several tracking tools add a signature line or a small logo to the messages you send, usually on the free tier. Check what your recipient sees. If a client can tell you are tracking them because of a footer, the tool has cost you more than it gave you.
2. Are tracked sends capped?
Some tools meter tracked emails per month. Others meter how much history you can see. The second is far less disruptive: you never lose the ability to track a message, you only lose the older records.
3. How much history do you keep?
Open history is what turns individual data points into a pattern — which subject lines, segments and send times actually work. A tool that shows you only the last few days is fine for follow-ups and useless for learning.
4. Can you export proof?
If you send contracts, invoices or formal notices, at some point someone will say they never received one. A timestamped, exportable record of the send and every open settles that. Most trackers do not offer it.
5. Where does the status appear?
Status inside the Gmail Sent folder gets checked. Status in a separate dashboard gets forgotten. This sounds minor and is the main reason people abandon tracking tools.
Where Bulk Mail lands
- No footer, no branding, no rewritten links — on any plan, including free.
- Unlimited tracked sends on every plan; the free tier limits history, not sending.
- Free shows a rolling 48-hour window; Pro keeps the complete history and activity feed.
- Proof-of-receipt PDFs: a timestamped record of a send and every open it received.
- Status appears next to each thread in your Gmail Sent folder.
