Streak vs Mixmax
Streak vs Mixmax is usually a choice for Gmail-first teams between two different product shapes: a CRM that lives inside Gmail, and a sales engagement platform built around Gmail. Both suit teams that live in Gmail.
Streak and Mixmax both run as Gmail Chrome extensions and both target B2B sales teams that live inside Gmail, but they solve different problems. Streak is a CRM-in-Gmail with pipelines, deal stages, and contact records overlaid into the inbox; tracking is one feature of the larger CRM bundle. Mixmax is a sales engagement platform with sequences, embedded scheduling, and polls; tracking is one feature of the engagement workflow.
The deciding question is whether your team needs CRM features (Streak) or cadence-and-outreach features (Mixmax). They are not direct competitors on a feature-by-feature basis; they are two tools for two different jobs, both happening to live in Gmail.
Want a third option neither Streak nor Mixmax covers?
Outsolvi handles graded email tracking and AI-drafted follow-ups, with LinkedIn automation as an add-on. Native Outlook + Gmail, from $7/mo, 14-day free trial.
Where Streak and Mixmax differ
Both are built as Gmail Chrome extensions; Streak has no Outlook support and Mixmax's Outlook add-in skips classic desktop. Both read full email content because their product features require it. Both count pixel loads as opens without exposing confidence scoring to the rep. Neither is built for relationship selling on named accounts as the primary motion.
Verdict by buyer profile
Streak's Gmail-native CRM is genuinely useful for teams that want their pipeline inside Gmail. Mixmax does not solve this problem.
Mixmax's sequence engine and embedded scheduling are the right tools for the cadence motion. Streak overlaps with whatever CRM the team already uses.
Outsolvi sits alongside the existing CRM (no sync), grades every open and labels replies at $7-$20 yearly, and covers Gmail plus classic, web and new Outlook. Neither Streak nor Mixmax matches this combination.
Outsolvi is not a CRM, and its sequences are built for one-to-one follow-up rather than high-volume cadences. It is a tracking-intelligence layer with automated follow-ups that sits alongside whatever CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot CRM Free, Pipedrive, Notion-based) the team is already using, without syncing to it. For Gmail teams who want accurate tracking and reply labels but do not want to commit to Streak as the CRM or Mixmax as the engagement platform, Outsolvi at $7-$20/user/mo yearly is the lower-cost complement. Support for classic, web and new Outlook alongside Gmail means the team can grow into Outlook without re-platforming.
Frequently asked questions
Is Streak a CRM or a tracking tool?+
Streak is a CRM with tracking bundled in. Pipelines, deal stages, and contact records are the centre of the product; tracking is one feature of the broader CRM bundle. If you do not need a CRM, Streak's per-seat price is paying for features you will not use.
Does Mixmax have CRM features?+
Mixmax surfaces external CRM context (Salesforce, HubSpot) in a sidebar but does not run its own CRM. Pipelines, deal stages, and contact records live in the connected CRM, not in Mixmax. For teams without an existing CRM, Mixmax does not replace one.
Which is cheaper?+
Mixmax Engagement Copilot yearly is $49/user/mo; Streak Pro yearly is also $49/user/mo. They cost the same at the realistic tier on yearly billing. On monthly billing Streak Pro is $59 and Engagement Copilot is $65, so Streak is $6/seat/month cheaper. For a 5-rep team that is $360/year, meaningful but small relative to the structural feature difference.
Can I use both?+
Yes. Some teams run Streak as the Gmail-native CRM and Mixmax for the cadence workflow. The two extensions coexist in the same Chrome profile, but the combined cost ($98/user/mo yearly for the realistic tiers) is meaningfully more than picking one. For most teams, one of the two covers the load-bearing motion.
What if I am on Outlook?+
Streak doesn't run on Outlook. Mixmax has an Outlook add-in for new Outlook and Outlook Web on Chrome, but not classic desktop. For mixed Outlook + Gmail teams, neither fully covers the Outlook half.
Where does Outsolvi fit?+
Outsolvi is the tracking-intelligence layer that does not replace your CRM or your cadence engine. Gmail plus classic, web and new Outlook at $7-$20/user/mo yearly, every open graded as a person or a machine, reply labels, and no CRM sync: it runs next to whatever CRM you use.

Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi grades every open as a person or a machine, in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
