Questions
Something else? Write to us from the Support link below.
Which email tracker is free for Gmail?
Mailtrack, HubSpot Sales, Streak and Pagewing track emails for free without a cap on how many. Mailtrack's free plan records only the first open and adds a line to your signature; Pagewing's records every open and adds nothing. Right Inbox tracks 5 emails a month free and Boomerang gives 10 credits a month. Yesware's pricing page describes its free plan as free forever in one place and as a 14-day trial in another.
How does email tracking work?
The extension adds a tiny invisible image to each email you send. When the recipient's mail app loads it, the tracker records an open with the time and, where it can, the device and mail app. Links can be routed through the tracker the same way to count clicks. Mail servers, security scanners and privacy features like Apple Mail's can load the image too, which is why some trackers, Pagewing among them, filter those out or mark them as possibly automatic.
Do email trackers add anything to my emails?
Some do on their free plans. Mailtrack adds a signature line until you pay; Pagewing adds nothing visible on any plan. Every tracker adds the invisible tracking image itself.
Which tracker works in Outlook too?
Mailtrack (as Mailsuite), HubSpot Sales and Yesware have Outlook add-ins, and Boomerang sells a separate Outlook product. Streak, Right Inbox and Pagewing work in Gmail only.
Can I get a reminder when nobody replies?
Boomerang's response tracking, Right Inbox's reminders and Pagewing's no-reply reminders (Premium) all do this. Mailtrack has custom alerts on its Mailsuite plan, and HubSpot and Streak handle follow-ups through sequences and pipeline tasks.
Is Pagewing free?
Yes. Every tool works on the free plan, with a few limits. Premium removes the limits and adds features like share links, PDF signatures and cloud storage, for every tool at once. Pro adds Office conversions, bookmark cleanups and AI summaries and branding for recordings on top. You only add a card if you decide to upgrade.
