Mixmax vs Mailtrack
Mixmax vs Mailtrack compares the high and low ends of the Gmail-tracking category, and the question you're usually trying to answer is whether the 6-18x price difference is worth it.
Mixmax and Mailtrack both started as Gmail Chrome extensions and both now have lighter Outlook add-ins, but they sit at opposite ends of the price-and-feature spectrum. Mixmax ($29-$89 per user per month yearly) is a full sales engagement platform with sequences, embedded polls, calendar booking links, and CRM sidebar. Mailtrack ($4.99-$14.99 yearly) is basic open and click tracking with reminders.
The comparison is roughly the same as Yesware vs Mailtrack but centred on Gmail, where both are strongest: how much engagement-platform feature surface does your team actually use, and is the 6-18x price premium worth it.

Where Mixmax and Mailtrack differ
Both are built around Gmail, and both Outlook add-ins are lighter than the Gmail versions: Mailtrack's tracks opens only and Mixmax's skips classic Outlook desktop. Neither exposes per-open confidence scoring to the rep. Both count Apple pre-fetches as opens, which pads raw open counts on Apple-heavy lists. Switching to either does not solve the open-accuracy problem that breaks raw tracking in 2026.
Verdict by buyer profile
Mixmax's sequences and embedded compose features are the load-bearing reason to be paying the premium. Mailtrack cannot match the workflow depth.
Mailtrack Pro at $4.99 yearly covers the job. Mixmax at $29+ is overkill for solo personal-use tracking.
Outsolvi grades every open as a person or a machine, labels replies by keyword, and tracks Gmail plus classic, web and new Outlook in one dashboard at $7 yearly Individual. Neither Mixmax nor Mailtrack matches this combination.
If you are deciding between Mixmax and Mailtrack mostly because of price and you want the engagement-platform features without the Mixmax tier, Outsolvi Individual at $7/user/mo yearly ($2 more than Mailtrack Pro, less than 1/4 of Mixmax Inbox Copilot) grades every open as a person or a machine, labels replies by keyword, flags hot leads, and covers Gmail plus classic, web and new Outlook. The trade-off is Outsolvi does not have Mixmax's sequence engine or embedded polls. The 14-day free trial requires no credit card.
Frequently asked questions
Why is Mixmax 6x more expensive than Mailtrack?+
Different categories. Mailtrack is basic tracking; Mixmax is a sales engagement platform with sequences, embedded scheduling, polls, and CRM sidebar. For teams that use the engagement-platform features daily, the premium is paying for daily-driver workflows. For teams that just want tracking, the premium is mostly stranded value.
Does either support Outlook?+
Yes, both have Outlook add-ins, but both are lighter than the Gmail versions. Mailtrack's tracks opens only, with no link tracking or dashboard. Mixmax's tracks opens and clicks but needs new Outlook or Outlook Web on Chrome, not classic desktop.
Which has more accurate open tracking?+
Neither, materially. Both count every pixel load as an open without surfacing per-open confidence to the rep. On Apple-heavy lists, both report open counts well above the real human-read rate. Outsolvi grades each open as a person or a machine, shows the reason, and counts only the opens that look like a person.
Can I use Mailtrack and then upgrade to Mixmax later?+
Yes, though the upgrade path forces relearning the workflow. Mailtrack's tracking-only setup is straightforward; Mixmax's full engagement-platform setup takes longer to roll out across a team. Most teams that grow out of Mailtrack consider Outsolvi (still simple, more features) or Mixmax (full platform) depending on what the next motion needs.
What about teams growing beyond Gmail-only?+
Both have Outlook add-ins, but neither matches its Gmail version there: Mailtrack's only tracks opens, and Mixmax's skips classic Outlook desktop, so some Outlook reps get less. Outsolvi tracks Gmail and classic, web and new Outlook from day one, with every send in the same dashboard.
Where does Outsolvi sit on price?+
Outsolvi Individual is $7/user/mo yearly: $2 more than Mailtrack Pro ($4.99) and 1/4 of Mixmax Inbox Copilot ($29). For most B2B teams the per-seat math heavily favours Outsolvi, especially once full Outlook tracking or graded opens matter.

Mixmax vs Mailtrack is the comparison a Gmail user makes when they've outgrown 'just an open tracker' but aren't sure if they need a full sales tool yet. Mixmax sits roughly 10x the price of Mailtrack. $49/seat/month yearly vs $4.99/month, but adds sequences, calendar booking, polls, and CRM integration. The gap is significant if you need those features and pointless if you don't.
The honest framing: Mailtrack is the right call for solo senders and very small teams (under 5 people) who track opens but don't run sequences or rely on automation. The marginal value of Mixmax's features doesn't justify the 10x markup for that use case. Mixmax becomes the right call once the team needs sequences (for outreach repetition without manual copy-paste), calendar bookings (to compress scheduling cycles), or shared templates with reporting.
There's a third option people don't always consider in this comparison: Outsolvi at $7/month yearly Individual covers the Mailtrack use case and grades every open as a person or a machine, and the $20/month yearly Pro covers the tracking and follow-up side of the Mixmax use case at less than half the price, without the polls, booking links or CRM sync. The product is positioned differently, focused on tracking accuracy rather than workflow automation, but for many of the teams making this comparison, it's the better fit.
