Outsolvi vs Mixmax: the best Mixmax alternative in 2026
Updated October 10, 2026
Quick answer
Pick Mixmax if your team works in Gmail and wants a full sales-engagement suite: sequences up to 1,500 recipients a month, scheduling, meeting notes, CRM sync and a free plan. Pick Outsolvi if you send one-to-one from Outlook or Gmail and want to know who actually read it. It runs in classic Outlook for Windows, which Mixmax's add-in doesn't support, and grades every open as a person or a machine with the reason shown. Mixmax's paid plans start at $29 a seat billed yearly; Outsolvi starts at $7.
Mixmax describes itself as "The AI sales execution platform." Its home page puts it inside Gmail, and its help centre calls it a lightweight platform inside Gmail and Outlook that helps you follow up. Under that sits a lot: open, click and download tracking, multi-stage sequences that also create tasks and calls, scheduling links and round robin, Meeting Copilot for recording and summaries, Salesforce and HubSpot sync, Slack, Zapier, an API, and since August 2026 an MCP server so Claude or ChatGPT can build and send sequences.
In Outlook the picture is narrower. Mixmax's install article (dated 27 February 2025) lists new Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web in the latest Chrome as supported, and classic Outlook for Windows as not compatible. Outlook on the web in Edge or Safari isn't supported either. Inside Outlook, its help says "Do NOT use Outlook's native Send button" and to send with Mixmax's own button instead, and that reminders, inbox tracking indicators and download tracking aren't available to Outlook users.
On opens, Mixmax is candid. Its product page says "The third open is a signal", and its smart notifications fire on the third open. Its help article on false positives (dated 23 January 2026) says Apple Mail Privacy Protection can trigger an open when the email reaches Apple's servers, that security scanners can load images, and advises using open tracking "primarily to identify trends at scale". Its pages don't say Mixmax filters or labels those opens.
Outsolvi is narrower on purpose: email tracking and follow-up for Outlook and Gmail. It runs in classic Outlook for Windows, new Outlook, Outlook on the web and Gmail, grades every open as a person or a machine with the reason shown, and sends follow-ups of up to 3 steps that stop when the person replies by email. It has no CRM integration and no free plan, and it doesn't run in Outlook for Mac (on a Mac, send from Outlook on the web).
Mixmax is the bigger tool: sequences, scheduling, meeting notes, CRM sync and a free plan, with unlimited tracking from $29 a seat billed yearly. Outsolvi is the narrower one: tracking and follow-up in classic Outlook, new Outlook, Outlook on the web and Gmail, with every open graded as a person or a machine and the reason shown, from $7. If your reps live in Gmail and use the whole suite, stay on Mixmax. If anyone sends from classic Outlook, or you need to know who actually read a one-to-one email, try Outsolvi.

Why teams choose Outsolvi
Pick Outsolvi if you send one-to-one from Outlook or Gmail and want to know who actually read it. It runs in classic Outlook for Windows through a desktop add-in, in new Outlook and Outlook on the web through a web add-in, and in Gmail through a Chrome extension. Mixmax's add-in isn't compatible with classic Outlook for Windows and supports Outlook on the web only in Chrome. Every open is graded as a person or a machine and the reason is shown: an Apple Mail privacy preload reads "reached an Apple Mail inbox", a security scan reads "Microsoft Defender security scan", your own re-read reads "your own open", and none of them are counted. Follow-ups run up to 3 steps and stop when the person replies by email. Individual is $7 a month billed yearly ($12 monthly) for up to 250 tracked emails a month; Pro is $20 per person billed yearly ($29 monthly) with no cap.
Where Mixmax excels
Pick Mixmax if your team works in Gmail and uses more than tracking. Sequences reach up to 1,500 recipients a month on Engagement Copilot, can exit when someone books a meeting through a Mixmax link or anyone at the same company replies, detect out-of-office replies and add call and LinkedIn tasks. You also get scheduling links and round robin, Meeting Copilot in Suite, Salesforce and HubSpot sync, Slack, Zapier, an API and webhooks, in-email polls and surveys, and a free plan that never expires (20 tracked emails a month). Its pricing page lists SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA. Every paid plan tracks without a monthly cap, where Outsolvi Individual stops at 250. One Mixmax help article lists new Outlook for Mac, where Outsolvi doesn't run. And its help names Apple Mail Privacy Protection and security scanners as causes of false opens, in plain words.
Same email, two trackers
One cold email's first minutes, event by event. A tracker that counts every event and Outsolvi's labels drift apart fast, and only one of them tells you who's worth a follow-up.

Meeting Copilot is now listed as included in Suite and isn't sold on its own. Outsolvi Individual tracks up to 250 emails a month; Mixmax's paid plans and Outsolvi Pro have no tracking cap.

Which is right for your team
Honest framing of who each tool fits best. Not every team is the same buyer.
AE on classic Outlook for Windows
A company laptop with classic Outlook, one-to-one emails to buyers all week, and a follow-up decision to make on each one based on whether it was read.
Outsolvi. Mixmax's Outlook install article (dated 27 February 2025) lists classic Outlook for Windows as not compatible. Outsolvi's desktop add-in runs there.
AE whose company uses Outlook on the web in Edge or Safari
IT has standardised on a browser other than Chrome, and reps work in Outlook on the web.
Outsolvi, after a test. Mixmax supports Outlook on the web only in the latest Chrome and lists Safari, Edge and other browsers as unsupported. Outsolvi's web add-in runs in Outlook on the web; try it in your company's browser on the free trial before you roll it out.
AE who calls when a prospect opens three times
Mixmax's smart notifications fire on the third open, and the rep treats that as the moment to call. The buyer reads mail in Apple Mail on an iPhone.
Outsolvi, if the call depends on a person having read it. Mixmax's own help says Apple Mail Privacy Protection can trigger an open when the email reaches Apple's servers, and advises using opens for trends at scale. Outsolvi shows those loads as "reached an Apple Mail inbox" and doesn't count them.
Solo AE with about $10 a month to spend
One person, no CRM to sync, wants tracking and simple follow-ups on a tight budget.
Outsolvi Individual: $7 a month billed yearly ($12 monthly) for up to 250 tracked emails a month. Mixmax Free tracks 20 emails a month, and its first plan with unlimited tracking, Inbox Copilot, is $29 a seat billed yearly or $34 monthly. If you track more than 250 emails a month, compare Outsolvi Pro at $20 with Inbox Copilot at $29.
SDR team running Gmail sequences at volume, with Salesforce
Reps enrol hundreds of contacts a month in multi-stage sequences with call and LinkedIn tasks, and every touch has to land in Salesforce.
Mixmax. Engagement Copilot covers up to 1,500 sequence recipients a month, with call and LinkedIn tasks, out-of-office detection and Salesforce sync. Outsolvi's follow-ups stop at 3 steps and it has no CRM integration.
Founder who books meetings straight from email
Sends availability inside the email, runs quick polls to qualify, and wants call recordings and summaries in the same tool.
Mixmax. Scheduling links, round robin, in-email polls and surveys, and Meeting Copilot in Suite are all things Outsolvi doesn't do.
Switching from Mixmax to Outsolvi
What to expect, in order. The 14-day Outsolvi trial covers the whole switch.
Day 0 (before you change anything)
List what your team actually uses Mixmax for: tracking, sequences, scheduling links, polls, meeting notes, CRM sync. Outsolvi covers tracking and short follow-ups only, so anything else needs a plan before you cancel seats. Save copies of the sequence text and templates you want to keep. The full checklist is in our Mixmax migration guide at /migrate/from-mixmax.
Day 1
Install Outsolvi: the desktop add-in for classic Outlook for Windows, the web add-in for new Outlook and Outlook on the web, or the Chrome extension for Gmail. Sign in, then send a test email to a mailbox you own and watch it arrive on the timeline.
Day 7
Compare a week of similar emails. Expect fewer counted opens in Outsolvi, because Apple Mail privacy preloads, security scans and your own re-reads are shown but not counted. Replies are the fair comparison, because a machine can't send one.
Day 30
Rebuild the follow-ups you still need in Outsolvi (up to 3 steps, stopping when the person replies by email). Keep Mixmax for anything Outsolvi doesn't do, such as scheduling links or CRM sync, and cancel the seats you no longer need. The step-by-step plan is at /migrate/from-mixmax.
Frequently asked questions
Does Mixmax work in Outlook?+
Yes, in new Outlook for Windows (version 2206 or higher) and in Outlook on the web in the latest Chrome. Its install article (dated 27 February 2025) lists classic Outlook for Windows, Outlook on the web in Safari, Edge or other browsers, free Outlook accounts and on-premises Exchange as unsupported. The same article lists new Outlook for Mac as supported; a newer troubleshooting article doesn't mention Mac. Inside Outlook, Mixmax asks you to send with its own "Send with Mixmax" button, and its help says reminders, inbox tracking indicators and download tracking aren't available to Outlook users. Outsolvi runs in classic Outlook for Windows, new Outlook, Outlook on the web and Gmail, and not in Outlook for Mac.
Does Mixmax filter Apple Mail Privacy Protection opens?+
Its pages don't say it does. Mixmax's help article on open-tracking false positives (dated 23 January 2026) says Apple Mail Privacy Protection "can trigger an open notification" when an email is first downloaded to Apple's servers, that security tools can load images, and that unusually high open, click or reply rates can suggest automated activity. Its advice is to use open tracking for trends at scale. Outsolvi grades every open as a person or a machine and shows the reason: Apple Mail privacy preloads appear as "reached an Apple Mail inbox" and aren't counted.
How much does Mixmax cost for tracking and follow-ups?+
Per user per month, from its pricing page (checked 10 Oct 2026): Free is $0 with 20 tracked emails and 50 sequence recipients a month. Inbox Copilot is $29 billed yearly or $34 monthly, with unlimited tracking and up to 100 sequence recipients a month. Engagement Copilot is $49 or $65, with up to 1,500 recipients. Mixmax Suite is $89 or $105. Mixmax for Teams is priced on request. Outsolvi Individual is $7 billed yearly or $12 monthly for up to 250 tracked emails a month, and Pro is $20 per person billed yearly or $29 monthly with no cap.
Is there a free version of Mixmax?+
Yes. Mixmax Free tracks 20 emails a month and sends sequences to up to 50 recipients a month, and it doesn't include removing the "Sent with Mixmax" line. Mixmax also offers a 14-day trial of Suite with no credit card, after which you move to Free. Outsolvi has no free plan. Its trial runs 14 days or 250 tracked emails, whichever comes first, with no card.
Does Mixmax automate LinkedIn?+
No. Its LinkedIn integration article says Mixmax doesn't support automated LinkedIn actions and that LinkedIn tasks are completed manually. LinkedIn steps need a LinkedIn Sales Navigator Advanced Plus licence, and the LinkedIn extension starts on Engagement Copilot ($49 a seat billed yearly).
Who should stay on Mixmax?+
Teams in Gmail that use sequences at volume, scheduling links, meeting notes, polls or CRM sync, and anyone who needs a free plan or a SOC 2 Type II report. Outsolvi doesn't replace any of those. It fits the rep who sends one-to-one from Outlook or Gmail and wants to know which emails a person actually read.
The fastest answer is the 14-day free trial against your real send volume. No credit card, setup in 2 minutes.
Mixmax is a sales-engagement suite with tracking built in; Outsolvi is an email tracker with follow-ups built in. If your team lives in Gmail and uses sequences at volume, scheduling, meeting notes or CRM sync, Mixmax earns its $29 to $89 a seat. If anyone sends from classic Outlook for Windows, uses Outlook on the web outside Chrome, or needs to know whether a person or a machine opened a one-to-one email, Outsolvi is the better fit, from $7 a month.
Our honest take on Mixmax
Our take: Mixmax is built for a rep whose day is sequences, meetings and CRM updates, mostly in Gmail. Its home page onboarding is "Add Mixmax to Chrome" then "Connect your Gmail". The Outlook add-in is real, but it comes with a list of exceptions: no classic Outlook for Windows, Chrome only on the web, its own Send button, no reminders for Outlook users. If your company runs on Outlook, read that list before you buy seats.
The part we'd push on is the third open. Mixmax's product page calls it a signal and its smart notifications fire on it. Its own help then says Apple Mail Privacy Protection can trigger opens when an email reaches Apple's servers, and advises using opens for trends at scale rather than relying on them. Credit to Mixmax for writing that down plainly. In our view, a rep deciding whether to call one person needs each open labelled, not a trend, which is why Outsolvi shows the reason on every open and leaves machines out of the count.
Where Mixmax clearly wins: if you need a free plan, sequences that reach up to 1,500 recipients a month, scheduling, meeting notes or Salesforce and HubSpot sync, Outsolvi isn't a replacement. It has no CRM integration, and its follow-ups stop at 3 steps.
