Outsolvi vs Streak: the best Streak alternative in 2026
Updated May 23, 2026
Quick answer
Outsolvi is the tracking-focused alternative to Streak. Streak is a full CRM built inside Gmail, priced from free to $129 per user per month, Gmail-only at every tier, and reads full email content to power its pipeline and deal-tracking features. Outsolvi is $7 per user per month billed yearly ($12 monthly), native in both Outlook and Gmail, with Tier 1 to 5 confidence scoring that filters Apple Mail Privacy Protection and bot opens, and AI follow-up signals at the base tier. Outsolvi does not ingest email body content for tracking, which simplifies the privacy posture for procurement and compliance reviews.
Streak is a CRM that lives inside Gmail. Pipelines, deal tracking, mail merge, shared inboxes, and email tracking as one feature of a much larger product. Founded in 2011, it is one of the oldest Gmail-native tools in the category, and it is still purpose-built for Gmail only. There is no Outlook version planned and never has been.
The core fact about Streak is that it is a CRM first, a tracker second. To make the CRM work, Streak reads and stores your full email content. That is not a privacy oversight, it is the architecture: Streak's pipelines surface email threads as deal activity, which requires the platform to ingest the message body. For teams that want their CRM inside their inbox, this is the feature. For teams that want tracking without the CRM ingest, it is overreach.
The pricing reflects the CRM scope. Free tier exists with basic tracking. Solo at $19/user/month adds light CRM. Pro at $49/user/month is where most paying teams sit, because the lower tiers do not include the tracking and reporting depth needed for active sales work. If you are evaluating Streak primarily for the tracking, you are paying CRM prices for one feature.
Streak is a full Gmail CRM with tracking as one of many features, priced from free to $129/user/month, Gmail-only, reads and stores full email content as part of the CRM. Outsolvi is a focused tracking and AI follow-up tool at $7/user/month yearly, native in Outlook and Gmail, with Tier 1 to 5 confidence scoring and no need to ingest email body content for tracking. If your team needs a CRM inside Gmail and accepts the privacy posture, Streak is genuinely good at that. If your team needs accurate tracking with engagement intelligence and a CRM that lives elsewhere, Outsolvi is the structurally different answer.

Why teams choose Outsolvi
Outsolvi was built for the case Streak structurally cannot serve: tracking without CRM ingest, across both Outlook and Gmail, for teams whose CRM lives elsewhere (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, or none at all). Confidence scoring grades every open from Tier 1 to Tier 5 and excludes anything below 25%, which means the engagement signals you act on are humans, not Apple Mail Privacy Protection relays or corporate scanner pre-fetches. The product runs natively in Outlook (Desktop, Web, New Outlook) and Gmail with a unified dashboard, which Streak cannot match because Streak does not exist outside Gmail. And the price is roughly 7x lower than Streak Pro, the tier most paying Streak users are actually on for tracking capability. For teams that want a CRM inside Gmail, Streak is genuinely good. For teams that want tracking intelligence sitting alongside whatever CRM they already have, Outsolvi is the right shape.
Where Streak excels
Streak is the right tool if you want a CRM inside Gmail and you accept the trade-off that comes with that architecture. The pipeline management is mature, the mail merge works, the shared-inbox feature is genuinely useful for support and customer-success teams. Streak has been around since 2011 and is one of the most stable Gmail extensions in the category. For solo founders or small Gmail-only teams who need a lightweight CRM and are willing to pay $49/user/month for Pro, Streak's all-in-one bundle is genuinely competitive against the alternative of running Pipedrive or HubSpot separately.
Which is right for your team
Honest framing of who each tool fits best. Not every team is the same buyer.
Solo founder running outbound on Gmail with no CRM yet
Building a pipeline, tracking deals as they progress, sending follow-ups, and wanting all of it inside Gmail without switching tabs. Comfortable paying $49/user/month if it removes the need for a separate CRM tool.
Streak. The CRM-inside-Gmail value proposition is genuinely strong for this shape. Outsolvi is engagement intelligence, not a pipeline tool, so it does not replace what this team needs.
Sales team on Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive, mixed Outlook plus Gmail
The CRM already exists and is the system of record. Reps need tracking accuracy and engagement signals that flag the right prospects to follow up with, without the CRM overhead of Streak's pipeline ingest. Outlook users on the team need first-class support.
Outsolvi. Streak's Gmail-only constraint disqualifies it. Outsolvi sits alongside the existing CRM via webhook integration and adds the engagement layer without trying to be the system of record.
Team that started on Streak and outgrew the CRM but kept paying for it
Moved to Salesforce or HubSpot as the system of record but still pays for Streak Pro because that is where the tracking lives. Streak's CRM features are now used only lightly, but the team is paying $49/user/month per rep.
Outsolvi. The math is simple: stop paying Streak Pro for tracking you can get for $7/user/month yearly, and let the real CRM do CRM work.
Switching from Streak to Outsolvi
What to expect, in order. The 14-day Outsolvi trial covers the whole switch.
Day 0 (before you cancel)
Export your Streak pipeline data and tracked-sends history (Settings, Export). If you have been using Streak as your primary CRM, you need to decide where pipeline data moves next: a real CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) or a lightweight one (Folk, Attio). Outsolvi does not try to be the CRM.
Day 1
Install the Outsolvi Chrome extension for Gmail or the Outlook add-in. Sign in. Tracking starts immediately. Pipeline lives in whichever CRM you chose, with Outsolvi engagement signals flowing in via webhook integration.
Day 7
Compare engagement numbers. Open rates will look different (Tier 4 and 5 are now filtered out). The pipeline-tracking visibility you had in Streak now lives in the CRM, with Outsolvi feeding the engagement layer on top.
Day 30
Cancel Streak. The tracking you needed costs about 1/7th of what you were paying. The CRM lives where CRMs live. Most teams find this separation cleaner than the Streak all-in-one bundle once they cross 4 to 5 reps.
Frequently asked questions
Is Outsolvi a CRM like Streak?+
No. Outsolvi is an email tracking and AI follow-up tool. It is not a CRM, and it does not try to be one. If you need pipeline management, deal tracking, and contact records, you need a CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, or one of the lightweight options like Folk or Attio). Outsolvi sits alongside whichever CRM you use and feeds engagement signals into it.
Why does Streak read my full email content?+
Because Streak's pipelines surface email threads as deal activity, which requires the platform to ingest message bodies. It is not a privacy oversight, it is architectural. Streak's terms of service disclose this, and for teams who want their CRM inside their inbox, it is the feature. For teams that prefer not to send body content to a third-party CRM, Outsolvi processes only metadata (open times, click events, engagement patterns) and never ingests message bodies for tracking purposes.
Can I use Streak in Outlook?+
No. Streak is Gmail-only at every tier and there is no Outlook version planned. The product was built native to Gmail in 2011 and has stayed that way. For teams with Outlook users, Streak is not an option. Outsolvi has native Outlook add-ins for Desktop, Web, and New Outlook, plus the Gmail extension, all in one unified dashboard.
What does Streak cost versus Outsolvi?+
Streak: Free (basic tracking, very limited), $19/user/month Solo (light CRM), $49/user/month Pro (where most paying teams sit for full tracking and CRM), $129/user/month Enterprise. Outsolvi: $7/user/month billed yearly Individual ($12 monthly), $20/user/month yearly Teams Pro. So Outsolvi yearly is roughly 7x cheaper than Streak Pro, which is the tier most paying Streak users are actually on for tracking capability.
Can I run Streak and Outsolvi at the same time?+
Yes, technically. Both work as Gmail extensions, both inject their own tracking pixels, both record independently. The 14-day Outsolvi free trial covers a dual-run. After two weeks, the data will show whether Streak's tracking accuracy holds up against Outsolvi's filtered numbers. Most teams find Streak's open counts are inflated by MPP and scanner traffic that Outsolvi excludes.
We use Streak for shared inboxes, not just tracking. Can Outsolvi do that?+
Outsolvi does not have a shared-inbox feature like Streak's. If shared inbox management is load-bearing for your customer-success or support workflow, Streak's value goes beyond tracking and the comparison is not direct. Outsolvi is the right answer when tracking accuracy and engagement intelligence are the load-bearing reasons you are paying for the tool.
The fastest answer is the 14-day free trial against your real send volume. No credit card, setup in 2 minutes.
Streak is the right tool for teams that want a CRM inside Gmail and accept the architectural trade-off (Gmail-only, full email content ingest, $49/user/month at the Pro tier where it actually works). Outsolvi is the right tool for teams that already have a CRM, want tracking accuracy with engagement signals, work across Outlook and Gmail, and would rather pay 1/7th the price for the engagement layer specifically. The 14-day Outsolvi free trial costs nothing to test against your real send volume, and dual-running both tools for two weeks shows the gap clearly.
Our honest take on Streak
Streak occupies a unique position: it's a CRM that happens to include email tracking, not the other way around. The tool runs inside Gmail as a sidebar, with pipelines, contacts, and deal stages living in the same view as the inbox. For Gmail-only teams who don't want to leave the inbox to update Salesforce or HubSpot, this is the right shape.
What Streak isn't built for: Outlook teams, dedicated email-tracking depth, or buyers who treat the tracker as a separate concern from the CRM. The open tracking is functional but doesn't expose confidence tiering, and Streak's Outlook coverage doesn't exist. Mixed-stack teams or Outlook-heavy teams can stop reading here.
The fit story for Streak vs Outsolvi: pick Streak if your CRM lives in Gmail and you want one tool. Pick Outsolvi if you already have a CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) and need the tracking layer to be the cleanest possible signal. Different problem decomposition, different right answer.

Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi runs Tier 1 to 5 confidence scoring on every open, native in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
